Choosing the Perfect Gift with Hamilton Jewelers
May 4, 2020

I was flattered to be asked by Hamilton Jewelers for recommendations in their “Ask the Expert” feature on some perfect gifts for weddings, new baby and hosts.

Celebrating Spring
Mar 20, 2020

Healthy Dry-January Cocktails
Jan 31, 2020

Monday Manners: It's Never Too Late for a Thank You
Jan 13, 2020

Holiday Host Gifts: I Just Couldn't Wait
Dec 16, 2019

I couldn’t wait until January, I was supposed to launch the new blog in the New Year. It makes sense…2020, fresh starts, goals and resolutions but I’m too excited so I’m jumping ahead. It might be because I’m anxious for Christmas this year……..
