Happy March!! As I write this I am sitting on my back porch and the sun is shining, bird are singing, it is a beautiful day!  These are the days I have been waiting for.

Let me tell you about my week.

Monday - I met a new friend at Louie & Honey downtown Winston-Salem off W. End Ave.  Such an amazing little place that is EXPANDING!! So exciting.  As much as all their baked items looked amazing I just got a cup of coffee, but don't kid yourself.  I have had their cinnamon rolls before and they are a must!  So if you haven't been before make sure you go intending on getting one.  I met with Kendall Sharpe, co-owner of Sharpe Designs with her husband Kaylan. Later that evening I did a high school senior session at Reynolds High School in Winston-Salem, NC. This was so much fun!  He brought his dog & some football gear to celebrate his senior year.  I can't wait to hear where he decides to go to college this Fall.  Check back on the blog for his featured session.

Tuesday - The morning started off with a session at Tanglewood Park for an author.  I am very excited to get my hands on his new book which is a crime thriller.  I am stalking his website waiting to see if updated with his photos. The evening wrapped up with a chat with some ladies who are attending our upcoming Small Business Retreat!

Wednesday - This was my husband's birthday!  We went out to eat with the entire family which is very unusual but also a treat.  Then we headed to Ketchie Creek are go to place for dessert.  One of the many things I love about Ketchie Creek is that the one in Clemmons, NC is open until 7:00pm.  That makes for a perfect stop on the way home.

Thursday -  I met with a baker, Alison Lewis at The Factory in Mocksville, NC Thursday morning. She owns a bakery called Little Queen Confections. As you may know Thursdays are my coach call and then I ended the night at Davie High School for my son's band performance.  It was spectacular. 

Friday - Maxden sprained his ankle Thursday afternoon so Friday he was still hurting.  We had him stay home, so my husband stayed with him as I had a few appointments that day.  Appointments = nails :-)

Saturday - Luckily his ankle was feeling better because we had tickets to go snow tubing Saturday at Hawk's Nest in Boone, NC.  It was super windy but we had a good time.  I even ran into clients of mine!  My husband and son, Camden went to a fishing tournament that day and they won 2nd place! After we went snow tubing we ate lunch at Macado's in Boone, NC.  I went to school at ASU so this was a place we often frequented.  However, Boone itself has changed so much since I went to school there. It was still nice and we enjoyed visiting. 

Sunday - I love Sundays!  I usually sleep in a little & go for a walk which is what I did.  I met up with a friend Sunday morning. Bayden & I also played pickleball for the first time in months!  I missed that.  We are looking forward to playing a lot more in the coming months.  Later that evening I had 4 sessions as I am working on a few projects for high school senior photos.

So that was my weekly wrap up -- behind the scenes at M.Gioeli Photography!
