I just want to take a moment to appreciate Sandra from A&S Construction. She’s been a loyal supporter of this newsletter—& of me—& I’m so thankful.

In a male-dominated industry, she’s built a business that’s not only award-winning, but deeply rooted in community, kindness, & incredible customer service.

If you’re considering a home project—roofing, siding, gutters, a new deck or patio—I hope you’ll think of Sandra. Not just because of her stellar reputation, but because she’s truly one of the good ones.

 ☀️ Life is Good & So Is This Summer Tee

👉Life is Good Crusher Tee

After I posted last week’s Top 5 video reel, someone on FB commented asking where I got my shirt, so I thought I’d share. It’s this “Life is Good” Crusher Tee & I have it in 3 different colors & designs. The fit is flattering, the cotton is just a little thicker than your average tee, & the daisy graphic shouts Happy Summer!

I’m still sharing the Top 5 Homes Sold in Frederick every week (how cute is that 2nd St home?), but now with a fun new twist—my friend & trusted realtor MaryLou Fisher is officially sponsoring this section! We met over a decade ago at CrossFit (burpees build strong friendships), & she’s helped me & my family buy & sell several homes ever since. Each month, MaryLou will pop in with a pro tip to help you with the Frederick real estate market. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, no-nonsense Frederick County Realtor, MaryLou is your girl.
