Fun Facts

  • Raised in Virginia Beach, I am a beach girl at heart. Yes, mountains are breathtaking, cities make my heart beat, but the smell of salt in the air, the sound of waves and ripples, and the endless water line recharge me like nothing else. Beachfront living is my dream!

  • Big Fat Greek everything! I am uber grateful for and proud of my rich heritage. Yes, I had to go to Greek school when I was little, and my kids did not escape this tradition either. I am bilingual, make a brag-worthy spanakopita, love to dance (Opa!), and crave our next family summer visit to Greece. Our family is from an Ionian Island, Kefalonia, truly heaven on Earth! You should see some of the homes here!

  • Like our postal people, “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night” keeps me from my early morning walks – good for my body, mind, and soul. At the break of day, even on holidays and vacation, you’ll find me outdoors and laced up. My kids love me (not) for including them on these walks when we’re on vacay. Join me and you’ll thank me, but only if you can keep up!

  • Yeap, I LOVE country music and I am not afraid to say it! In spring, the warmer it gets the louder I play it.

  • I love picnics. I’m talking picnics, with fresh flowers, linens, music, night-time candle-light. You get the picture. In fact, I carry a tissue-thin red/white checkered board tablecloth with me whenever I travel, just so I’ll be ready for that impromptu bite al fresco. Picnic at the foot of Eiffel Tower…yeap! Secluded Greek beach…yes, please! The Mall in DC…check!

  • I’m a coffeeholic. It’s the taste, the aroma, the ritual. One of my favorite past-times is joining friends for a cup and chatting forever!
