Today I visited the Festival of Trees at the Orlando Museum of Art. I am continually impressed with the OMA (except for the whole $5 parking thing) because of the “big city museum” feel it brings to Orlando. For the Festival of Trees, the lobby is appropriately decorated with palms and lights to give a [...]

d’ Elegance is back in Winter Park
My husband produced one of the very first auto shows in Winter Park back in 2000, and so my family has always had a fondness for the venue. This is why the Concours d’ Elegance, a premiere auto show, excites us so. After a few down years, where the cars or management were a bit [...]
Elevator Games?
Growing up in Central Florida, one of my earliest aspirations was to be an astronaut. I believe moonwatching, supporting NASA, and reaching for the stars is ingrained in any native Floridian. My mother was pregnant with me when Neil Armstrong first set foot upon the Moon. Just twelve years later, I vividly remember being home [...]
Park Avenue Fashion Week
Growing up in Winter Park during the height of the “preppy” style (think late 70’s and early 80’s), Park Avenue has always been representative of all things fashionable for me. On a street where a Ralph Lauren store couldn’t seem last, other unique designers, boutiques, and stores seem to set the trends instead, creating a [...]
“Art Under the Stars”

Most exciting for me was the presence of one [...]

Something Old, Something New…
I visted the Winter Park Wedding Chapel (301 New England) yesterday and was very impressed. This quaint place is not only perfect for the charming small wedding, but it is also a wonderfully spiritual place for yoga, meditation, and meetings in general. Located a few blocks off Winter Park’s famed Park Avenue, the Wedding Chapel [...]

Full Moon Blooming Event!
Okay, so this isn’t an actual promotable event, but it has been 20 years in the making at our house! Under the light of the full moon, the elusive “Hylocereus undatus” opened its beauty to Central Florida for just a few hours. Why is this a big deal? Well, some species of this plant [...]

Local 14-year-old Can Sure Play a Mean Guitar!
Those who attended the Green Day concert last week at Amway Arena were treated a a display by a very talented Central Florida resident. Green Day is known for always pulling a local guitarist on stage to perform with them, and even the Twittersphere was abuzz speculating just who might go up at their Orlando [...]
Do You Tweet? Just what is this Twitter?!
I have had a few emails recently from friends who are not down with the Tweeting…they do not know what Twitter is and frankly, do not understand it’s value. I must admit, I had never really twittered before the Top 5. I had created a few accounts for some of my clients, but had not [...]
40th Anniversary
It seems like I keep writing about space, space, space…well, perhaps that is appropriate with all that has been happening in Central Florida lately–five attempts before the Endeavor launched successfully and now the fortieth anniversary of the Moon Landing.
I must be honest…my mother was pregnant with me when Neil Armstrong first stepped on the Moon, so I [...]
