I’m a Realtor and a blogger, but above all I’m a Mom.
You’d think those first two might get in the way of my “real†parenting job, but lately I’ve been finding that they can all work together sometimes.
I’ve been trying to build up my internet presence through my blog. This helps me to be found through search engines, making me look like even more of a local expert. I know that people don’t want to just read about something, they want to SEE it, too.
So I’m grabbing my family and we’re taking a few short day trips.
Yes, sometimes they whine a little. But they get into the spirit of it quickly and we end up enjoying the time out. My kids are surprised to find that they learn about a lot of the places we’ve been to in school, but actually being there and seeing it brings it to life in a whole new way.
I’m happy to have fresh, interesting content for my blogs… but I’m sure I’ll be happier with the family memories we’ve built while I was “working.â€
Here’s one of our Real Estate Shows from this weekend.

Sarah – I love it! I homeschool so I really multi-task it. We can take a field trip, take photos, learn about the area, edit photos, and learn Adobe Photoshop. Now we have school time, work time, and family time all rolled up into one! I just did a show tonight from one such outing a few months ago. I just need to wrap a post around it.
I think you’re blog is great – I don’t know how you manage to do it! Keep it up.
I’ve been doing these for some of the small towns in the area, now just need to sit down and build the shows and do the posts. I love Charleston and the gold dome is absolutely beautiful — and the people are so friendly. But I’ve found that those in small towns are blown away by having good quality photos of their little town with a great little story — it shows you care about their community.
