Today’s adventure: Squishy Hunting 2026. 🎯🛍️
My kids had their hearts set on finding specific squishies, so naturally I did what any Realtor mom would do… I mapped out a strategic route to FIVE Below after FIVE Below after Target like I was planning a buyer tour. 😂
Just like showing homes, there was strategy involved:
✔️ Efficient route planning
✔️ Managing expectations
✔️ Staying patient when the perfect one wasn’t at the first stop
Did we strike out at a few locations? Absolutely.
Did anyone melt down? Not Surprisingly, yes but…
Did we have fun together? Yes.
Did we stick to buying only the minimum? Also yes… which may be my greatest negotiation win of the day. 😅
Real estate and squishy hunting have more in common than you’d think: sometimes you visit several places before finding “the one,” and keeping a good attitude makes the journey a lot more fun.
Now excuse me while I recover from my second career as a professional squishy locator. 🕵️♀️🏡
