Local Loves: La Dolce Vita

Every once in a while, something will come across my social media feeds that will stop me in my tracks- be it an incredible looking recipe/dish, a miracle makeup product, a travel destination or a local business I’d never heard of before.

Celebrate Good Times…

It is absolutely Aries season, and so many people I know are celebrating birthdays right now! Yesterday was my dear friend and podcast co-host, Stef’s, birthday- which will be acknowledged and honored at a get-together at her farm this coming weekend since we saw some significant snowfall/sleet throughout this week that caused serious delays with […]
