If you've been keeping up with A Shore Thing, you know my original intent was to have a series of small businesses featured up until Small Business Saturday 2019. However, due to some personal events that came up ( that's a blog post for later), I wasn't able to complete the series on the timeline … Continue reading Small Business Series- ChicaBoom Fitness
Small Business Series- The Esthetics Studio
Up next on our Small Business series, we have one of my favorite little spots nestled in Apollo Beach- The Esthetics Studio. My whole life, I thought I was a bit of a ~beauty guru~ and then I met Melissa. My life has been changed, and I am a new woman with much better skin. … Continue reading Small Business Series- The Esthetics Studio
Small Business Series- South Shore Boutique
It all started in her home, as most small businesses do. Shelly, a former flight attendant from Buffalo, NY, found her passion in crafting and creating gift and personalized items with monogram and embroidery. Ideas and trial and errors spread out across the kitchen and dining room tables, pouring into her family's every day life … Continue reading Small Business Series- South Shore Boutique
Small Business Saturday
Ah, November. It's almost the most wonderful time of year. The air is starting to chill ( for us Floridians, this means dropping below 80), in some stores you start to see the glittering lights of holiday decorations, and the candle scents of a freshly cut pine tree. Why do I love November? Let me … Continue reading Small Business Saturday
Mary + The Mom Car
I knew it was the end of the line for Buey, the loving name we gave my 2011 Buick Regal, when I was doing a u-turn after work and the entire car shut off. Yikes, right? Besides the safety factors, I loved this car. This had been the first car I owned in my name; … Continue reading Mary + The Mom Car
Shoreline Takes on the ATL
Do you ever feel so exhausted that you actually consider using coffee as eyedrops? That is exactly how we felt after attending the Atlanta Apparel Market this past week. You know that old saying "shop 'til you drop"? Yeah, we shopped until we dropped, couldn't remember which way was up, or what the name of … Continue reading Shoreline Takes on the ATL

It's me again... JUST KIDDING! Today we are featuring a ~guest~ blogger, my very own sister and our Director of Merchandising (sounds fancy, right?) Rachel! Sit back, relax, and text your friends to make lunch plans, because after reading this piece that's exactly what you'll be wanting to do. If you follow me on … Continue reading Little Habana Cafe
Caffeine Roasters
WOW. Long time, no write... or I guess it's read for you guys. Anyways, my last blog post was in the depths of the holiday season, and let me tell you, we barely made it out alive here at Shoreline Sugars. I mean that in the best way possible, though. Long days filled with helping … Continue reading Caffeine Roasters
The Pie You Need This Holiday Season
Okay... I'm going to start off by saying I hate the bloggers that make you read an entire novel about their cousin's dog who got sick and the whole family was distraught, so they made this miraculous dish to make everyone happy and it changed lives and finally brought world peace. Okay, so maybe that's … Continue reading The Pie You Need This Holiday Season
Our Little Roses
Honduras. What comes to mind when you think of that country? Poverty? Murder Capital of the world? Well, when I think of Honduras, I think of hair braiding. I think of cute little girls singing and dancing in "la cancha". I think of holding tiny hands with someone that speaks no English, not being able … Continue reading Our Little Roses
