Hi Reader! For many years my family and I have participated in the Chicagoland Buddy Walk. Since the pandemic, we haven't gotten back into it. This year, we’re back!! 🎉 But not in our usual way… As some of you know, my oldest daughter has Down syndrome and autism. She’s now 20 years old, which means our family has stepped into a new season—caring for an adult with special needs. While this feels normal for us, it’s definitely a different journey than the typical American family. That brings me to what I’ll actually be doing at the Buddy Walk this year! I shared more about our story and my book launch in a live youtube video—watch it here: And if you’d like to support the cause, here’s my fundraising page: https://charity.pledgeit.org/ChiBuddyWalk2025/@ValerieM This year is especially meaningful because I’ll also be launching my brand-new Emergency Care Guides at the walk! These guides are designed to help families like mine navigate the unexpected with peace of mind and practical tools. You can find all 4 books on my author page here: https://www.lulu.com/spotlight/thishouseyourhomevalerie On October 12th only, both Care Guides will be on special sale in honor of the Buddy Walk—so mark your calendars! If you’re local, I’d love to see you at the Bolingbrook Golf Course. Stop by, say hello, and join us in celebrating inclusion, awareness, and community. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💙💛 Warmly, Join me on social....Valerie M, Re-design Specialist Follow me on Pinterest....this HOUSE | your HOME with Valerie Check out my blog site.... www.thisHouseyourHomeValerie.com Shop on Etsy... thisHOUSEyourHOME - Etsy Top Products Created for You |
I'm a REALTOR with a degree in architecture and passion for design. I'm here because I believe everyone deserves to live in a home they love. Whether that means finding a new house or renovating the one you are in. I'm here for you! I am a mom of four (2 girls, 2 boys) who keep me REALLY busy. I also really enjoy gardening and my 2 dogs. After a variety of careers there are two passions I keep coming back to, architecture and sharing helpful information.
