My Life as a Realtor – Day 156
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 156:
Happy Christmas Eve!!!
We were all invited to go to my brother’s house in Brookfield, CT for our Christmas Eve dinner, opening some gifts and most especially, some family time together. My mom has been with my brother and his family for a few days now to help them get ready.
Work was quiet and that was alright since there was much to do. The girls and I baked cookies, Melissa made a French Apple Tart and Amanda and I made a quick stop at Shaw’s and the liquor store. We were finally ready to leave by 5:30 and arrived to wonderful Christmas Eve appetizers and a beautifully set table awaiting its guests.
Here are some moments of our Christmas Eve…
A Cozy Fire
A Beautiful Tree
Eating, eating… and more eating!
Fun Opening Gifts
Watching the Little Ones Playing with New Toys
and a special Thanks to our Hosts…
My Brother Louie & Sister-in-Law Leia
Then it was back home, where we left our lights on while we slept and waited for Santa…
Ho! Ho! Ho!

My Life as a Realtor – Day 131
My Life as a Realtor ~
Day 131:
Monday – back to work for many – back to dieting and continuing their holiday shopping since Christmas will soon be upon us.
I have already started making mental notes of what to serve on Christmas Eve – which will be spent with my side of the family. Christmas Day will be spent with Joe’s side of the family. Of course fish is at the top of the list for this special dinner. My family and husband were born and raised in Portugal and my husband especially, is a huge fish lover – shell-fish being his absolute favorite. When we go out dinner – he orders seafood and steak – and I… chicken. I am always saying that I am a cheap date!
The other special food is COOKIES! I have started posting Food Networks 12 Days of Cookies and this is helping me come up with some different and new cookies recipes to bake for the holidays. Sugar cookies are my favorite and I have not made Gingerbread cookies in years – maybe it’s time!
OK – back to work and enjoying that David has taken such an interest in our fish tank. He went out and purchased an air bubble device – more fish and a few toys for Remi….
Fish loving the air bubbles…
One of Remi’s new toys…
which he hid under the table from…
until he spotted his new ginormous tennis ball!
Food Network – 12 Days of Cookies – Cherry Almond Cookies

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.
