this House | your Home with Valerie M

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. I love helping others get inspired and do those projects in their home that will make them happy. I’ve always had big dreams to make interior design accessible to everyone. I am beyond excited to be here with you! Be inspired to create your dream home!

Emergency Caregiver Binder

Hi Reader! I don't talk about it here too much but most of you know that I am a parent of an adult with disabilities. The word disabilities isn't what makes her unique and makes her her. She does have Down syndrome, Autism and a few major medical issues though. And this creates an everyday world that is different than most 20 year olds. Each morning I wake up to my cup of coffee and Lily's pill case. She needs to take her thyroid medicine at least an hour before eating anything. I help her...
