A domestic goddess I am not. In fact my Dad used to tease me when I was single that it is a good thing that I turned out to be good in business because if I was waiting for a man to come along and marry me for my domestic abilities, well it just was…
When Alex was 2 I started having a tough time getting him to brush his teeth. He didn’t want to do it, or if he did, then he would barely get the tooth brush in his mouth before declaring that he was done. So I pulled out my mommy skills to figure out a way…
In virtually every area of the country Sellers are looking at selling for less today than if they sold a year ago. It is the fact of the market. It isn’t pretty, but it is what it is. So what do you do about it? You tell them the truth!!! I just listed 2 homes…
I thoroughly enjoyed my conversation with Janet Bortchert of Wright Kingdom Realty in Boulder, Colorado the other day while interviewing her as a Ninja Mom of the month. She is truly an amazing woman and runs an incredibly successful real estate practice with 4 children. Wow! I’m tired just thinking about it and yet she…
By now you have probably heard or read about the earthquake in L’Aquilla, Italy this week. The pictures are devastating. My father lived in L’Aquilla for 5 years and I have been there many many times. It was always one of my favorite places to go. I love the insanity of Rome, but L’Aquilla was…

Hmm, interesting. So we decided to give it a shot and see what sort of impact it actually made on our gas and…
I know what you are thinking. She is married with children, why does she have a little black book and more importantly why is she admitting to it. It’s not THAT kind of black book, but it is my lifeline. I have been using my book for years and swear by it. Lately it…
Alex, our oldest got one of those baseball things yesterday where the ball is basically on a tether and you spin it around and then practice hitting the ball. (I’m sure there is a technical name for it which is escaping me, but hopefully you know what I’m talking about.) Anytime he gets something new he…
Okay, this may not be fully Ninja related, but someone sent this to me this week. It made me laugh out loud and puts a funny, light hearted spin on some pretty deep stuff. Read on …. One day a farmer’s donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the…
