It’s hard to believe our sweet boy Bowen is already a week old — time really does fly when your days (and nights!) are full. We’re soaking up all the newborn snuggles, but I also wanted to share a little life + work update because… we’re back at it!

In true “me” fashion, I’ve already: ✔️ Posted two new listings
✔️ Got an accepted offer on one
✔️ Brought Bowen to the office — and he did great on his first visit!

I’ve always thrived in a bit of controlled chaos, and while I know not every stage of motherhood will be this manageable, I genuinely love working and feel incredibly lucky to do what I do — even with a newborn in tow. As an independent contractor, there’s no official maternity leave, so I’m figuring it out as I go. For now, staying active in my business has been great for my mental health and feels like the right rhythm for our family.

Huge thanks to the amazing ReMax Alpine Realty crew — I’ve got a village of colleagues ready to step in for in-person showings if needed. That kind of support is what makes this all work.

Also… shoutout to Bowen’s dad, who’s already logged more solo time with our baby than most dads ever attempt. He’s not a “babysitter” — he’s a partner, and seeing him dive in has been a game-changer for both of us.

So yes — we’ve added a new member to the team 👶💙 but the real estate hustle continues. If you’re thinking of buying or selling, I’m still taking on clients and would love to connect. We’re just operating with a little extra love (and a lot more snacks) these days.
