Cookies made with care! Our Leadership Spokane team came together to share a touch of sweetness with the families at Ronald McDonald House. Warm from the oven and straight from the heart—because kindness is the most important ingredient of all. 🍪

Such great wisdom from Spokane’s home grown Christina Koch.

Can’t wait for summer in Spokane

I could get used to this view !

Genetics is so fascinating ( Thanks Mom!)

I need your best turkey recipe that is savory to help so I can cook for a very needy family.

Our first official weekend at the lake—eight years in the making. The skies opened up, and we were graced with a beautiful blessing.

Jimmy Carter’s passing brings back memories of my first White House visit during his presidency. I’m exactly 2 months older than Amy Carter, which made politics feel real to me as a kid and sparked my lifelong awareness of government. A true loss.

December 17, 1903: Freezing temps, icy puddles, and 27 mph winds at Kitty Hawk. Perfect weather for staying inside… unless you’re the Wright brothers proving flight is possible. 120 feet later, history was made. Sometimes bad weather gives you the lift you need. Happy Anniversary, aviation!

FaceTime with grandbabies brings me so much joy ❤️

There's a special place in heaven for honest real estate agents that answer their phone.

One of our sons fell asleep watching reruns of The Office on his laptop at a friend’s house. I woke up to a notification that his hotspot had maxed out for the month. Feels like something Michael Scott would orchestrate.

First snow of the season… as a kid, it meant snow days and snow angels. Now, it’s still magical, but it also means shoveling and icy commutes. Funny how the wonder sticks around, just with a grown-up twist.

I’m missing my mom today. Two years have passed since she left, but there are moments when all I want is to hug her again. I miss her laughter and her gentle, sweet spirit.

Adulthood is just a constant loop of ‘Things will slow down after this week’ until you realize you’ve been saying it for a decade.

Grateful for Real Estate- a career where “home suite home” is the office, and every day comes with a view (even if it is a fixer-upper)!

Real Estate in Spokane right now feels like thrift shopping- you might not find exactly what you’re looking for, but you’ll definitely discover something with “character!”

Tomorrow we move our youngest boy into his college dorm room. It’s been 30 years since my husband went to the University of Idaho as a first year freshman. After 5 kids we are now officially empty nesters. Any advice?

Sunset Lake Coeur d’ Alene.

Silent moonlight glows, Night's stillness embraces all, Peace whispers softly.

Spokane is known as the birthplace of Father's Day, and locally by the nickname of "Lilac City". Officially, Spokane goes by the nickname of Hooptown USA, due to Spokane annually hosting Spokane Hoopfest, the world's largest basketball tournament.

It’s basically RV living. We have a super sweet Class C we park at the lake. No right or wrong with this but you do have to like to snuggle!

People on lake Coeur d’ Alene, Idaho take the 4th of July Very seriously !

My current view

Picking up shelving at a Bed, Bath and beyond … the store is closing soon. End of an era. I think I need to snag some tall twin bed sheets for my soon to college freshman. There still are some good deals left!

He’s not even 2 months old but he already has a sense of humor! #BabyQ
