Winter foods are everything to me. My favorite winter comfort foods are found this time of year, so I am always sure to be comforted as much as I can in these short months.  I have five favorites: 1. SOUPS + CHILI I love all soup; chicken noodle and chicken wild rice are two of […]

Artificial vs. real flowers. It’s a debate as old as time.  Every couple needs to make this call for themselves, an I am not here to tell you either way what is best. That’s between you, your vision, and your budget. I am here, however, to let you know the pros and cons of each: […]
