My dad turned 70 on January 6th. So what do you do for a guy who has (more than) everything he could possibly need? Throw him a surprise birthday party, of course. Custom birthday invitations My sister and I started the planning process back in October. Venue, food, guest list, invites, decor, photo [...]
My word of 2018 is Candid. Oh yeah, I've decided to keep in the trend I set for 2017, even though I, apparently, forgot about it halfway through the year. Last year it was a task to come up with a word, but Candid came right away. Admittedly, I was a little concerned about Candid being [...]

Norfolk Wholesale Floral put together a pop up flower bar last weekend and it was just delightful. A co-worker and I decided to checked it out on our lunch break. Admittedly I was scoping the setup to see if it's something the Zoo's Horticulture staff could do at future events (they totally could!). Regardless, the [...]
New logo for a friend's side photography project. Direction was "nautical, anchors, simple or a really nice font." We were able to crank this out in just one edit and a handful of emails. Can't wait to see the project come together!
Do you ever Pin a recipe just because it looks pretty? This was certainly the case with this shakshuka recipe I stumbled upon this Spring. Then it made it onto my 92 Days of Summer list because of the colors it would add to my Instagram feed. Don't judge me. I was fortunate enough to [...]
I took myself on a Saturday morning date to Three Ships Coffee down in the ViBe Creative District. I had the pleasure to meet the two behind this tasty shop back at Better Block in 2013, when they were operating out of a remodeled trailer. As the line stretched out the door and people filled every [...]
I find I rarely use Facebook anymore, with the exception of finding events nearby. Hence how I stumbled upon the VB Flea. I've always been a fan of flea markets and while this one was small, it was mighty in the offerings. Not to mention, it piggybacks on the Old Beach Farmer's Market and sits [...]
It's been years since I've been to the Old Beach Farmer's Market in Virginia Beach. And what a change! The produce was all so gorgeous and perfect looking. I was also happy to see such a variety, from salsa and ceviche, flowers and dog treats and so many varieties of tomatoes, eggplants and peppers! They've [...]
So I was a little skeptical after tasting the "almond candy" portion of the bar. But the whole thing together? YUM. I think these taste great as a frozen treat, so I keep mine in the freezer. You can also keep them in the fridge or at room temperature. Your choice! What you'll need: 1 [...]
