I am going to host a contest this year to have my readers guess what day they think the first snow will fall in Westfield, MA.

I will qualify “first snowfall” as the first time it lands and coats the ground or “sticks”.  Therefore, flurries that melt right off won’t count.

Participants need to put their guess for the date the first snow will fall in Westfield, MA in the comments below.  You cannot post the same date as someone ahead of you.

The winner will receive a $50 gift card for Ezra’s Mercantile on Elm Street in Westfield.

OK folks, get your guesses logged in!

UPDATE:
Well, no one won because the first snowfall of 2011 in Westfield, MA was on OCTOBER 28th! I was out showing houses in that mess and managed to fall on my face in front of new customers as I slipped while getting out of the car. The third and fourth house we looked at had no power and we all had trouble stopping at the end of a downhill driveway. I went home soaked and sore to hurry up and charge everything and get a fire going before my power went out. Good thing I did, since the power went out about an hour after getting home. Who woulda thunk it?!

New Restaurant on East Main Street, Westfield, MA

Five Guys Burgers & Fries Westfield, MAIf you are a resident or commuter in Westfield, MA, you have probably noticed the new building going up next to Blockbuster on East Main Street.

There is no signage up advertising what the building is going to be, so I inquired one day at the desk of Expert Fitness (right behind the building). I was told that the building is going to be a Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

Just thought I would share in case you were wondering, too!

Mama Cakes: Yummy Must-Try Bakery in Westfield, MA

Mama Cakes Cupcakes

Why, oh why, did Mama Cakes have to open up across the street from my office at Park Square Realty in Westfield and then go and create the most irresistible gourmet confections?

How am I supposed to lose weight with those scrumptious morsels calling me from across the street?

In all seriousness, this new bakery is not only adorable, but hosted by a friendly owner and her family and offers some unique taste treats. I stood and debated for awhile between the Pumpkin and Lemon cupcakes. Lemon won out for that day, but I will have to return to try the Pumpkin, or whatever other delicious thing tempts me!

I took a few pictures to torture you until you can make a visit to Mama Cakes yourself:

Mama Cakes is on Elm Street in Westfield, across the street from Park Square Realty and the recently opened Ezra’s Mercantile.

Give me a shout out before you get there and I will treat you to a cupcake!

Updated to add: they are taking pie orders for the holidays and are baking bread now, too.  PS. the lemon, pumpkin and apple are THE BEST!

Went to Florida to avoid Hurricane Irene

I am sitting in sunny Tallahassee, Florida because I can’t get back to Massachusetts due to the hurricane this weekend.

I came to Florida to speak at the Florida REALTORS State Conference and enjoy the Real Estate BarCamp Orlando event. It was an amazing week of sharing social media tips, teaching Twitter and video blogging, visiting with great friends and enjoying some warm sunshine.

When leaving Massachusetts, I had been concerned that I may be flying into Irene…oddly enough there was no effect from the hurricane in Orlando, whatsoever. Going home, however, was another issue. We are unable to get out of Florida before Wednesday due to all of the backlog on delayed flights. Our friend Debbie Kirkland brought us up to her house in Tallahassee where we are hanging out for a few days.

Besides the fact that I really miss my kids, it isn’t such a bad problem to have. I have been watching Twitter and Facebook and am amazed at the pictures and videos I see posted! Westfield looks to be dealing with a lot of flooding and I hope my friends and clients are all doing well.

I had a wonderful time speaking and teaching social media this week, but I am looking forward to getting back to Park Square Realty where I can use my expertise to help people who are buying a home or selling a home in Western MA.

Park Square Realty Westfield, MA Sales Leaders

It is no secret that I work hard at my career in real estate.  It is my privilege to help people with the transitions in home ownership and I love my work as a REALTOR for Park Square Realty in Westfield, MA.

My daughters and I want to thank all of my friends, family, management at Park Square Realty, loyal clients and my ever supportive boyfriend, Morriss Partee for their tireless support in helping me to grow as a REALTOR.
