Lately, I haven't been blogging on Active Rain as much because I have been working on a new blogging venture. This "idea" has been in my head for about a year and I finally was able to bring it to life last month.
Virginia is for Kids! is a blog about exploring and traveling the beautiful Commonwealth of Virginia with kids in tow. So far, I only have about 10 posts; however, I have a computer full of about 40 more.
As the daughter of an Air Traffic Manager, I traveled quite a bit as a child and after I graduated from college, I became a Flight Attendant which offered even more travel opportunities. Fortunately, my husband and son share my love of exploring and travel.
This blog will not be about cheesy, rip-off tourist attractions. If there isn't a positive lesson involved, it won't be featured. Included in the posts thus far are: Ferry Farm, Berkeley Plantation, Monticello and Virginia Safari Park among others.
If you have a chance, please visit my new blog and make some comments and/or subscribe. It will be greatly appreciated! You can follow along on Twitter as well: @virginiais4kids.

Everyone knows that Pungo is the place to go strawberry picking in the spring, but did you know it's also the place to go for blueberries in the summer?
Pungo Blueberries is a large blueberry farm featuring lots of bushes with lots and lots of blueberries!
Blueberry picking is great fun and kids love it. Their fingers are the perfect size for picking and eating! Since Pungo Blueberries does not use pesticides, the blueberries are safe to eat off the bush. You can bring your own containers for picking or they will provide you with buckets.
Blueberry picking is much easier on the back than straberry picking as it doesn't involve constant bending over.
Blueberries keep for 2 weeks in the refrigerator and 2 years in the freezer!
With the going grocery store price of $3.99/container, picking blueberries is a wise financial choice as well. We picked 2 large bags full of blueberries for $14.00. The grocery store price for this amount would have been over $60! Pungo Blueberries also has blueberry bushes for sale along with jams, blackberries and other goodies.
Pungo Blueberries is open 7am - 7pm, Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday. They are located at 3477 Muddy Creek Rd. in Virginia Beach. Their phone number is: 757-721-7434. Click here to view a map and directions.

Whether you are buying or selling a home in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake or beyond, our goal is to provide you with the resources and tools you need to make a smart and stress free transaction.
Virginia Beach, Virginia - what a wonderful place to live! Mild winters, breezy summers and much more to do than just go to the beach! Virginia Beach is actually part of South Hampton Roads Virginia - which consists of the cities of Virginia Beach, Chesapeake, Suffolk, Portsmouth and Norfolk. These cities are all unique and filled with a wealth of exciting things to do and see. Once known as mostly a Navy town, the Hampton Roads area has reinvented itself as a destination for many walks of life outside of the military. With large and small corporate headquarters, a nationally recognized health care system, excellent schools and southern hospitality, Hampton Roads is a wonderful place to live!

My area of "expertise" is selling homes that are difficult to sell. Sometimes, all it takes is a price adjustment, furniture placement or a coat of paint. Other times, it takes a whole new marketing strategy, extensive networking or market repositioning to get a property sold.
My goal with buyers is to build their wealth and real estate portfolio, not to ensure their couch fits perfectly in their living room. I look at a house as a small business which is there to provide an immediate need, (shelter) but also to provide long term (or short term) income.
Now, the "REAL" Tina:
I am a wife and mother, first and foremost. My family is my life, my pride and my true love. After having the experience of living in a 3rd world country for a few months, I am grateful everytime I turn on the faucet to have clear, safe, drinkable water and go to sleep in my clean, comfortable bed.
As a graduate of Virginia Tech, I am a Hokie. My college experience played an important role in molding me into the person I am today. Blacksburg and Virginia Tech will always be near and dear to me and I support my alma mater as a season ticket holder and member of the Hokie Club and Alumni Association.
Real estate is a business transaction and while my clients can sometimes get very emotional, my goal is to keep their business interests as my priority. I want my clients to make smart and wise financial real estate decisions that will assist them in achieving their financial goals. Whether or not their couch will fit in the living room is not my priority; whether or not the property they are investing in will help put their child through college is.
"There aren't enough positive attributes to describe Tina. Time and again, she has held our hands through tough real estate transactions, making a normally stressful situation virtually stress-free. I cannot recommend her highly enough or often enough. We are so lucky to have met Tina and are better and more informed real estate purchasers and sellers because of it. If you are looking for a realtor, look no further. Tina and her team are the best." October 1, 2007 by Patrick Veverka
