Bella Bloom

The Sherwood area is so lucky to have such an accomplished local florist in the community!
 
Bella Bloom has been an award winning Oregon florist for years but recently expanded their product line outside of just weddings to include daily arrangements for pickup, local delivery & so much more! One of my favorite things that they offer are floral subscriptions. These are the perfect gift for that special someone that has everything!!

“The power of play”…This is the motto & purpose behind this phenomenal local business!

Musa Martial Arts

You may have seen him around town- on foot, visiting other local businesses, driving around in the Musa van, breaking boards with kids at every Sherwood event… If you don’t know him, he is Sherwood’s Hype Man!
 
Inspiration, passion, drive, contagious energy & ultimately the desire to be there for Sherwood’s youth are just a few of the characteristics that make Master Lacey a local “celebrity”!
 
BUT, how did he get here… it wasn’t easy! His story will leave you even more in awe of what he has become & created after a less than easy childhood & a near death experience that took away his Olympic career! Remember how I said “inspiration” a few sentences back… he is nothing less than that (in addition to possibly also being a rapper- more to come on that later).
 
Join me for Episode 5 of 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚 𝘽 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 as I sit down (actually we did not sit, I got worked!) with John Lacey & chat about life, Musa Sherwood & why Martial Arts is SO important for our youth!
 
Summer camps, after school care, birthday parties, adult classes, self-defense… you name it, there is something for everyone! Back to birthday parties- they are seriously the BEST!! If you have never hosted a birthday party at Musa, you are really missing out! “Ninja training is for everyone”! 

Grace Asher Jewelry

Filming this special Mother’s Day edition was so much fun! There were lots of laughs & one of my favorite parts was this line from the youngest Grace Asher owner, Lola (9) ~ “I get my inspiration from me”!!
 
The three girls definitely stole the show with their sweet personalities & I love their passion behind their individual lines!
 
Join me for Episode 4 of 𝙈𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙚 𝘽 𝙞𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝘾𝙤𝙢𝙢𝙪𝙣𝙞𝙩𝙮 as I sit down with the Ladies of Grace Asher Jewelry , Mary, Macey, Daphney & Lola Timmons!
 
This Mother – Daughter team is a true inspiration! I admire hard work & starting at a young age more than I can put into words! Having that opportunity growing up shaped me into who I am today & I love these girls desire to curate affordable pieces that work for all ages & lifestyles.
 
Simple, Classis & Timeless- there really is something for everyone (& all ages too)! With Mother’s Day & Graduation coming up, you definitely need to check out their website as this jewelry is the perfect gift for any occasion!

“Work hard & be nice to people”… I couldn’t agree more! This is the saying on the wall at check out & truly the way this business is ran.

Moffett Vineyards

I am so thrilled to be launching episode 1 of my new regular monthly show, 𝑴𝒂𝒓𝒊𝒆 𝑩 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒎𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒕𝒚, & couldn’t be more excited that my first episode is with Trent Moffett of Moffett Vineyards.
 
Trent & his family moved to Sherwood from Napa. He is a 2nd generation wine maker & very relational with his business. If you know Trent & his family, you know they are some of the kindest humans around! I have also never tried a Moffett Wine I didn’t like (no joke)!
 
I hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed filming it (see the end for all the bloopers)!
Cheers!
