Trish…

A native Greensboro girl, Trish has been enjoying the Triad for “several” years. Trish attended school, worked and played here, and loves that she is raising her family here as well. Trish married her husband, Shane, 11 years ago. She left the work force to raise a family after giving birth to her first son Grant (7), then following suit with the whole “boy” theme had her second son Drake (4).  Trish loves to entertain and takes pride in creating a beautiful , fun and comfortable atmosphere for her family.

Nobody throws a party like her – perfect to the last detail!  Trish is forever trying to find things which are unique and fun for her friends, family, and home. She’s always out to find a deal, but doesn’t  mind paying top dollar for things that will make a lasting impression and have a timeless, classic style. She’s a dynamic, effervescent, out & about girl, staying fully charged on local coffee. She talks to everyone she comes in contact with during the day – there are no strangers in her life! She enjoys eating out more than cooking but will do what ever the moment calls for.

After her second son Drake was born with special needs, her passion for helping other was ignited. She is currently serving on the board of the Greensboro Cerebral Palsy Association and spearheads a huge fundraiser every year to benefit Gateway Education Center and the GCP.

Trish’s favorite things are her kids and hubby, cold weather, blue jeans with a comfy sweater, coffee (triple grande, cinnamon dolce latte, nonfat, no whip!) , chocolate, red wine, hang time with friends and of course, shopping!

MJ…

Mary Jean, also known as MJ…just don’t call her Mary…made the Triad her permanent residence when she became a SAHM in 2002.  She is a wife to Darrin and great mom to boys Ethan, age 7, and Grayson, age 5.

MJ’s passions start in her home, especially the kitchen!  Her love of baking cookies led her to start a small cookie company called The Dough Nut. Her cookies have been enjoyed not just in the Triad, but in many corners of the US through her successful cookie company.  MJ believes that everyone deserves a treat, but also strives to provide her family with healthy, organic, and clean living.  MJ also owns her own Juice Plus Franchise. She, along with her awesome team, are changing many lives through Whole Food Nutrition. She is very excited to share her knowledge and lifestyle with Seek readers!

While she loves Target just as much as any girl, MJ is passionate about supporting her local merchants.  She loves to be out and about in the Triad and learning new things the community has to offer.  Whether it is finding a deal, latest events, or just volunteering at her children’s school, MJ gets involved with everyone in her life. Once you have met MJ you have met a new best friend. She is a genuine, down to earth woman who is comfortable, not just with herself, but with the people around her.

MJ’s favorite things are spending time with her family, working out, cooking, decorating, bargain hunting, 70% cocoa dark chocolate (for real!), reading decorating magazines, and of course blogging!
