My Life as a Realtor – Day 162

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 162:

This time tomorrow, our home will be filled with family, coming over to celebrate New Years Eve for the 23 year!

My mom and I were busy with cleaning and baking – a Ricotta Pie, Pumpkin Pie, Flan, and a Ham/Zucchini/Prosciutto Pie – YUM, YUM! All while Tisha slept…

Tomorrow will be the real heavy cooking day. For today, we did just a few things because we know that tomorrow will be crazy! Remi is already feeling the house get a bit chaotic. Today he decided to chew one of the chairs and then fell asleep on it – Amanda noticed and took this pic…

With work, I divided up my time – a little in the morning – afternoon – and evening. Ma and I did take a little break and watched “Four Christmases” with Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn.

I look forward to tooting our horns and Welcoming 2010!!

My Life as a Realtor – Day 161

My Life as a Realtor ~

Day 161:

Busy – Busy – Busy…. Getting ready for New Years! Today after working and doing a few things at home, Ma and I was off to do our grocery shopping. We went into Danbury and first stopped at A & P – then Costco and our last stop was Stew Leonards. We had fun trying the food samples and both Costco and Stew Leonards - our favorite was the Stew Leonards chicken salad!

When we came home, it must have taken us an hour to divide everything between both refrigerators and cabinets. Tomorrow, we will start our baking.

Remi is still in love with his new toy from Christmas…

GETTING TO KNOW ME

As a full time REALTOR in Westchester, Putnam and Dutchess counties in NEW YORK – and Fairfield and parts of Litchfield counties in CONNECTICUT , I am very pleased to have the opportunity to share my passions on REAL ESTATE, FAMILY, PETS, anything and everything in and around a HOME – including COOKING, MOVIES, MUSIC and more!

I have been married for 25+ years to my wonderful husband Joe. We have 5 children – Melissa, David, Amanda, Sara and Jonathan. After waiting anxiously – for almost 17 years, being home with my kids for 10 and a Nursery school teacher for 7 years – I FINALLY became a Licensed Realtor – first in Connecticut - where my family and I live – and then in New York – where my office, Century 21 V.J.F. Realty is located.

I was born and raised in Mt. Vernon, New York. My parents, who came to the US from Portugal, were extremely hard working – with even stronger ethics on being good to everyone – everywhere – period! “Faz bem, nao olhes a quem.” This has been instilled in me all my life, which has made me the mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend and the REALTOR I am today. Thank You Ma and Papa.
