Being located in North Carolina, we tend to be considered the start of the southern states. It amazes me when people call us hicks and rednecks, as most of us are quite classy, thank you very much! The south has so many traditions and so much history that we take pride in. Southern themed parties […]
What’s a few bottles of wine between friends? Wine parties can be swanky, chic, elegant or just what the doctor ordered after a long drawn-out week at work! There’s nothing better than relaxing the worries of the day away with a glass of wine, and when good conversation, music and great food is involved, you […]
There’s no better way to thank someone for a gift or a kind gesture than a hand-written note.

I know what you’re thinking…a summer party blog in February? That’s crazy! Truth be told, it’s going to be 75 degrees in North Carolina today…I had to double-check my weather report this morning because I thought, there’s no way that we had snow on Sunday and it’s going to be 75 degrees outside today!

I know what you’re thinking…Easter already?! We haven’t even hit St. Patrick’s Day yet!! Just this morning I happened to be looking at my calendar when I realized that tomorrow is Ash Wednesday…where has the time gone, 2012? This could only mean that Easter is going to come early this year, which it is, on […]
Happy Presidents’ Day, everyone! Most of us are still working on this patriotic holiday, but if you’re one of the lucky ones off from work today, we hope you’re celebrating with a tall glass of American pride! Presidents’ Day is a day that we honor our American presidents from the past, and specifically George Washington […]
If there’s one place we all loved as a kid it’s the circus! Just this past weekend I was lucky enough to score tickets to the circus when they came to Raleigh and I can’t tell you enough how cool it was! From the animals to the trapeze, dancing, balancing and fire cannon acts, I was […]
Let’s face it girls…sometimes we just need a night out where we leave the boys at home and do what we do best – celebrate how awesome it is to be a girl! Whether it’s your birthday, a bachelorette party or maybe even just an excuse to get out for a night, a girls night […]
