In case you missed it Heather and Troy’s happy place was recently featured! Anyone can see that Heather undoubtedly has an eye for style when looking through the weddings she designs. San Diego Magazine knew this and wanted to take a deeper look at her inspiring taste. What better way to do this than to enter […]

One of my favorite holidays comes from my heritage and my Swedish grandmother, her legacy still lives on as we hold tight to the traditions that have been passed down through the generations. Every December 13th on Santa Lucia Day, in the early morning hours, I was always awakened by the sounds of my mother […]

Ever since our very own Heather and her family received Navy Jane their family has felt complete. Even with four playful munchkins causing mischief in their home, you can feel the love that fills this colorful abode the moment you are welcomed through the Balliet’s front door. Care to join them for story time? It […]

The joy that comes from creating life with your one and only love is a joy that can never really be explained. Our very own Heather and Troy have been blessed with three amazing children, and a fourth on the way! Their youngest, Knox, is not so tiny anymore. Knox recently turned one and to […]

You still dress up as a knight and fight dragons while rescuing your sister the princess and you still plan on marrying Tinkerbell. You still love bean and cheese burritos. You say you were […]
