A&K Laundry Basket

03/29/2026

Today’s “office” looks a little different… 🧺🏡

Had every intention of heading into the real estate office, but as a mom of 4 in a household of 6, my washer and dryer decided to call it quits—so here I am at the laundromat instead 😅

Between loads of laundry and keeping everything moving, I’m still answering messages, scheduling showings, and helping clients find their perfect place to call home.

Because real estate doesn’t stop—and neither does mom life ❤️

If you need me today, I’ll be your agent… just with a side of fabric softener ✨

Shout out to A&K Laundry Basket, if you need a local place for any and all laundry needs, I highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ five stars!

ATTENTION — VanEffen’s Corner Deli & Market Update! 🚨

We’ve had quite a few people ask if we would consider opening earlier — maybe an hour to an hour and a half earlier — for:

🍳 Breakfast Burritos
🍕 Breakfast Pizza
🥖 Breakfast Grinders
🥤 Morning Drinks

We’re putting it out there to see what you all think!

If we adjusted our hours, it would be on a trial basis to see if the demand is there and if it makes sense for our team and our community.

👉 Would you utilize an earlier opening time?
Comment below and let us know!

We appreciate the feedback and love hearing from you. Thanks everyone! 🙌

We’re a family-owned business, so we also understand how tough running a business can be. Mount Pleasant Mancino’s has had a rough stretch lately and could really use some support from our community.

We’re going to jump in alongside The Twisted Fork and many others, and ask our Mount Pleasant friends for a favor—if you can, please stop by Mancino’s this weekend and show them some love. Grab a grinder, leave a good tip, and drop them a positive review.

Hey. If your planning on coming in for dinner, don’t 😏 i know i know sounds crazy!! Go to Mancinos instead. Joes had a rough week and is just getting back on his feet. Go get yourself a grinder 😋😋
