Best Financial Advice Ever
My hubby, John Cummings, is passionate about family–his family and yours. He helps people anticipate what their dreams and goals will be in the future, through 35 YEARS of working with all generations. John has seen clients who started with him in their early 20s who are now about to retire, and those who followed his advice have millions to retire on.
Experience matters.

Paisano's Italian Restaurant
Homemade pasta and desserts, this is one of our family favorites for take out during the pandemic and in-house for birthdays.
Stuffed shells & Chicken Breast Alfredo are 2 of my favs. And, ANY dessert. Good wine selection, say my parents, since I don’t drink.
Le Chantilly Bakery
This is my choice for a hideaway tea or lunch with my best friend when we need to sit and talk, even during a pandemic.
They made our AMAZING WEDDING CAKE, & their treats are the go-to for local gifts, like the Alexander Tarts, any cookie, or the Breslin.
Krung Thai

Chiropractor
I recommend Larry Marrich for “no-nonsense” Chiropractic care. “I have been trusting Dr. Marrich to straighten my body for more than 20 years, from many sports injuries and during 2 pregnancies. He uses traditional chiropractic adjustments, and I recommend him for neck, back and hip pain, and/or headaches.” Dr. Larry Marrich 3401 Carlise Blvd. NE Albuquerque, NM 87107 505-889-3333

Dr. Eric Zhao is brilliant and creative. He has helped my family and clients with knee, back and head pain, throat infections and calming a panic attack. We trust and adore Dr. Zhao and his incredible gifts in acupuncture and herbs.
