    🗓️ On This Day – May 28: A Day of Flavor, Reflection & Soul

    May 28 is more than just another day on the calendar — it’s a celebration of flavor, awareness, and legendary music.

    🍔 National Hamburger Day

    Let’s be honest — few things say “America” like a juicy hamburger hot off the grill. Whether you love yours with all the fixings or just a simple classic, today is the perfect excuse to fire up the grill or support your favorite local burger joint. As we welcome summer, burgers bring people together — backyards, lake days, and real estate open houses alike.

    🌍 World Hunger Day

    While we enjoy our burgers, May 28 also serves as a powerful reminder that not everyone has access to a daily meal. World Hunger Day calls attention to the global food crisis and encourages sustainable solutions to end hunger. It’s a meaningful day to donate to a food pantry, support organizations making a difference, or simply have conversations about how we can all help.

    🎶 Happy Birthday, Gladys Knight

    Born on May 28, 1944, Gladys Knight — the “Empress of Soul” — gave us timeless hits like Midnight Train to Georgia and inspired generations with her voice and heart. Her music reminds us to lead with soul, something that never goes out of style — in life, in music, and even in real estate.

    A Thought to Close

    Today is a blend of gratitude and purpose — from enjoying a delicious meal to remembering those in need, and celebrating a true musical icon. No matter how you mark this day, do it with heart.

  • The History of Taco Tuesday: How This Tasty Tradition Began

    Taco Tuesday is a beloved weekly ritual in homes and restaurants across the country—but have you ever wondered how it all started?

    Where Did Taco Tuesday Come From?

    The phrase “Taco Tuesday” might feel like a modern-day social media trend, but its roots go back decades. In fact, the term was reportedly first used as far back as the 1930s! Newspaper ads from El Paso, Texas, featured taco night promotions on—you guessed it—Tuesdays. The low-price promotions helped the idea catch on.

    The Trademark Twist

    In 1989, a taco chain called Taco John’s, based in Wyoming, actually trademarked the term “Taco Tuesday” in 49 states. This created some controversy over the years, especially as the phrase became part of everyday culture. Eventually, Taco Bell pushed to “free” the phrase in 2023, and Taco John’s relinquished the trademark, making Taco Tuesday truly available for everyone to enjoy and promote freely.

    Why Tuesday?

    Tuesdays were traditionally slower business days in the restaurant industry. By offering discounted tacos, eateries could bring in more customers. The catchy name, affordable price, and crave-worthy food combo made it an instant hit—and a delicious tradition was born.

    Taco Tuesday Today

    Now, Taco Tuesday is more than a marketing hook. It’s a celebration of food, fun, and community. Families cook together. Friends meet up at their favorite taqueria. Social media feeds fill up with mouthwatering taco photos every Tuesday.

    It’s safe to say: Taco Tuesday isn’t going anywhere.

    So now……

  • Sundays Are for Dreaming: Is It Time for a Fresh Start?

    There’s just something about Sundays.

    The pace slows down. The coffee tastes better. The sunlight feels a little softer as it filters in through the curtains. For me, it’s often a day filled with family, laughter, and the comfort of good food. It’s a day to breathe, reflect, and—if you’re anything like me—maybe scroll through a few dream homes online “just for fun.”

    But sometimes… it’s not just for fun.

    If you’ve found yourself looking at houses on Zillow, imagining new kitchens, bigger yards, or cozy front porches—maybe it’s more than a daydream. Maybe it’s the beginning of a new chapter calling your name.

    Life has a funny way of nudging us forward. Whether your family is growing, you’re ready to downsize, or you’re craving a new view, those Sunday scrolls could be your heart’s way of saying, “It’s time.”

    And guess what? You don’t have to figure it out alone.

    As a local realtor who’s helped so many families turn their “someday” into “today,” I’d love to sit down with you—no pressure, just a chat. Whether you’re ready to list next week or simply thinking ahead, I’m here to guide you when the time feels right.

    So enjoy your Sunday. Dream big. And if that dream starts to feel real, let’s talk.
