Everybody needs a clubhouse
My favorite restaurant is Stack’s Coastal Kitchen. I’ve nicknamed it the clubhouse and I text my friends “Meet me at the clubhouse.” Here’s how you get hooked. 1st timers order the seared tuna. If you’re not into fish order the turkey/avocado club. [...]
Sock it to me
Sometimes you just have to listen to your daughter. At 13 what a wise gal she is! Socks! Yep socks. We were knocking around Towne Centre after dinner and went into Old Navy. They have the softest socks you will ever put on your feet! They [...]
Local artist we love

I had no idea what went into the menagerie of couture. The attention to detail, the stress, the demand of [...]
