No matter how you like your waffles, plain, drenched in delicious syrup or lightly powdered and with berries, waffles have a long history!
"International Waffle Day is on March 25 and celebrates waffles, their history, and a surprising religious holiday. A holiday that is best celebrated by eating waffles is our kind of holiday. Unsurprisingly the day has become a bit of a hit. It was originally celebrated in Sweden but now eager stomachs all over the world embrace International Waffle Day. Plug in your waffle maker and tuck into some mouth-watering treats.
Waffles came to Sweden near the early 1600s and quickly spread to nearby lands. They were often eaten with jams and fruits, establishing themselves as a beloved treat to be eaten at all times of the day. The event in celebration of them was called Våffeldagen which sounded remarkably close to the religious Vårfrudagen and the traditions merged.
As time passed a wider variety of waffles emerged. They became sweeter in the 1700s after more butter and sugar were added to the recipes. In 1839, the Belgian waffle was created much thicker than regular waffles and with deeper grids. The Belgian variation was more filling and held more jam and cream too.
International Waffle Day itself is the result of a mispronunciation that brought two holidays together. In Sweden, this Waffle Day is known as Våffeldagen, which sounded a lot like Vårfrudagen (Our Lady Day), a day that celebrated the Virgin Mary’s conception. Because of this lingual connection, it became customary for Swedish families to celebrate Vårfrudagen with waffles on Our Lady Day. That’s how International Waffle Day ended up being celebrated on March 25."

I made the decision to become a REALTOR® in 2004 after my first experience purchasing my own first home. I didn't have representation of my own and I quickly learned how valuable having a Trusted Advisor for that process would have been.
Since then, I have made it my goal to help Buyers and Sellers from all walks of life in the Atlanta Metro Area navigate the financial, technical, and emotional aspects of buying and selling their homes. I do this with the assistance of my invaluable network of lending and legal partners as well as trade contractors and area vendors as well as my commitment to continuing education.
I am a licensed REALTOR® and I am bound by the RE ALTOR® Code of Ethics. I have obtained the following National Association of Realtors Certification or Designations: Accredited Buyer's Representative (ABR®), e-PRO®, Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Short Sale and Foreclosure Resource (SFR®), Seniors Real Estate Specialist (SRES®) and Seller Representative Specialist (SRS®).
Other designations I hold include Certified Distressed Property Expert (CDPE®), Certified New Home Marketing Professional, Broker Price Opinion (BPO) and I am Certified with the large institutional buyers such as Zillow, OpenDoor, OfferPad, Knock, etc.
The decision to partner with Virtual Properties Realty was an easy one and gave me even more tools to use. Their early adoption of virtual meetings and educational training fit perfectly with my tech-savvy approach to listing and sales management.
