Charcuterie Party

It's no secret that I have a love affair with cheese and charcuterie plates. We had a small gathering at our home the other day and we put a fresh spin on the standard cheese and charcuterie plate. Filling an extra large wooden board with farmers market finds, grilled veggies, and of course artisan cheeses and finely cured meats.  It offered guests an opportunity to graze and mingle as opposed to a more traditional sit down affair, which suited our...READ MORE

Friday Fun {Piper Grey Life}

Well I am just getting back in the swing of things, returning from 3 months of maternity leave. There are such mixed feelings about going back to work especially as a business owner, since Wiley Valentine is my other baby. But most of all I am super grateful to have the flexibility to work in the office some days, at home others, and bring Greyson with me when I am in the office. As I flood my camera with photos of my two princesses, as well as healthy...READ MORE
