Two Great Eats in the Twin City! I love to eat year round but there is something about the food in the summer that makes it especially more enjoyable.

Tour of Fine Spaces Presented by Junior League of Winston-Salem I love houses.. especially houses that have a lot of character and charm. And I really love houses that have really cool kitchens and bathrooms. And backyards. Probably because those are the three areas of my own home that are in dire need of some sprucing up. And when I…
Junior League of Winston-Salem Boutique 2014! Well, what do you know.. now it’s the MIDDLE of November. Half-way done. Almost over. Only one thing happens after this.. December. And that means Christmas and Hanukkah which means there are people creeping around your house (hopefully not that wretched Elf..) dropping not-so-subtle hints about what they want “Santa” to bring. But before…
