I’m no baker by any stretch of the imagination but I do enjoy baking… and pretty things. So when I heard about Bake It Pretty I realized all my day dreams of hosting fabulous parties with the most gorgeous desserts ever seen could be possible despite my lack of decorating skills. I’m convinced if you…
If you enjoy American History you most certainly need to visit North Carolina, specifically Old Salem Museum and Gardens. Founded in 1766 by the Moravians, Salem offers you the chance to learn more about the life of Moravians and early Southerners living in the 18th and 19th centuries.

It’s almost that time of year again, the first day of school. When I was in school I loved shopping for school supplies. Nothing beats freshly sharpened pencils and a brand new notebook. We usually got the standard, boring notepads that came were available everywhere but I always wanted something fun and fashionable. No one…

As a mom I’m always on the lookout for great companies that make high quality products. So, I am in love with all things Scandinavian Child. They offer some of the most beautifully crafted baby gear that I’ve ever seen. But the wonderful thing about Scandinavian Child is that their products are not only gorgeous,…
I have a thing for unique, handcrafted jewelry, so of course I love all of the pieces from photoglassworks. They are simply stunning masterpieces that you can wear. Just look at these beautiful necklaces. I’ve admired Tracy’s work for awhile, first seeing her work at a local craft show, and now she has offered a…
In March our family had the pleasure of attending a breakfast with the Easter Bunny at the Carolina Inn. It was our first time visiting the Carolina Inn and I must say it is a stunningly beautiful place. If you are ever in the Raleigh/Durham area and need a place to stay I highly recommend…
