🍝 Foodie Friday: Homemade, Heartfelt, and Full of Flavor!

This week, I made and shared a full Italian feast with my mom to celebrate:
🍤 Cioppino
🍕 Fresh sourdough crouton,
🧄 and Homemade pizza for the Man Kids

There’s something so special about slowing down, cooking from scratch, and creating memories together at the table.

💐 Happy Mother’s Day to all the amazing moms — thank you for the love, the laughs, and the moments we’ll always remember.

 Mystery Cocktail Night! 

This week’s Thirsty Thursday was extra special because I had my amazing friend @MolenDebbie join me to shake things up! We mixed a surprise cocktail with blueberry simple syrup, lemonade, and bubbly — and had a blast taste-testing our fruity creation.

 Want to know the best part? It’s the perfect drink for spring parties, brunch, or just a fun night in. Stay tuned because we’ll definitely be doing more of these!

 Follow for more drink recipes, laughs, and behind-the-scenes fun from right here in Fort Erie. Cheers!

Thinking of pricing high to “leave room to negotiate”?
Here’s what usually happens ⬇️

❌ Strategy: Price it high so there’s room to come down.
🔻 Result:

Very few or No showings

No offers

Buyers assume something’s wrong

Long days on market = lowball offers

✅ Solution: Price just below the most recent comparable to create urgency and competition.

💡 The right pricing strategy in this market is what you need to get sold.

📩 DM me for a custom pricing strategy that gets results, not regrets.
