Do you remember the word association game? For instance, if I say “coffee” what’s the first thing you think of? For me, it’s a cup with steam rolling off of it. So if I said the word “pawn shop”, what is your immediate reaction? For some, it could be a place where you go to sell your stuff (or get a…
There are few things that bloggers love more than seeing each other in person at meet-ups and wine. Make both of those happen at the same time and it’s Eutopia so when I was asked to bring together a few bloggers to take a private tour of Medaloni Cellars, I gathered up some of the best – and most fun…
Fearless Females Friday I met Tanya Rivera probably 4 years ago but I know she doesn’t remember that because I was just a fan girl bugging her at some event she was doing an appearance at. I always loved watching her on WFMY because she was (is!) such a warm and inviting person and completely endeared viewers to her. She started…
Week of Giving Begins April 25th! When it comes to our kids and hospitals, almost everyone has a story and with any luck it’s not a big story but rather a smaller one. For us it was a brief time period when our oldest was going thru tests in Philadelphia to see if she had a blood disorder – luckily…
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…
I thought it would be fun to rerun some guest posts that were written for me a couple of years ago at Christmas by some of my favorite bloggers. What I wasn’t expecting was to revisit our friendships and see how much they’ve grown even more in the past two years. Nikki is a perfect example… we have been trying…
It’s not just parenting that takes a village, so does blogging. Anyone of us who’s been blogging for any length of time knows that you have to have a strong community if you’re going to last and succeed – no matter what your definition of success is. We’ve developed a pretty great group of bloggers here in the Triad…
So Your Daughter Wants to Wear Makeup It’s going to happen whether you like it or not. Your tween daughter is going to wear makeup. So you have two choices. You can give her $20 and set her free at Walgreens and pray that it all turns out okay or you can seek professional help. For her. Not you. Okay,…
Good Eats in the Twin City: Battledish Winston You guys know how much the Rooster and I love to cook and eat. But with 3 kids and 2 jobs, we don’t get a take the chance to go out to eat that often, so when we do we like to E-A-T and eat well. One of the things that I…
Triad Love: Camp Hanes – The Place for Kids and Adults
Around the Triad, Reviews and Giveaways, TweensTriad Bloggers and Camp Hanes When my friend Kelly over at Southern Fried Children gets a good idea, it’s usually worth taking note. And every now and then, it also includes me. She has such a way with words.. “So I was thinking….”. No joke, she’s gotten me TWICE with that opening. Two years ago, it was when she thought…
