We're all about Sanford Florida!
A while ago I was contacted by Midway Elementary School in Sanford to write about their grand opening ceremony for their brand new facility at the end of April. However since I have been MIA for a while I never got a chance to do so until now. Midway Elementary School of the Arts is [...]
Since Sanford FL will be on national TV tomorrow night (Monday, February 8, 2010), I figured, why not write a little post about it? Many of you are probably not big fans of ABC’s reality TV show The Bachelor, and admittedly, I am not either, but it can be entertaining sometimes and I got kind [...]
Please note: There’s a bit of confusion about where to drop off the donations. For now I am crossing off the location for the drop off. Until I have a word from an official source I will leave the info crossed through. Nevertheless, gathering baby items is not a bad idea because there definitely is [...]
Saturday night was the grand opening night of Bon Bon Studios, the new boudoir photography studio in downtown Sanford. We had a great time and enjoyed delicious sweets (loved the chocolate covered cherries!) and fantastic wine and champagne provided by the Sanford Wine Company. Bon Bon Studios gave away great prizes, including a photo session [...]
So this is going to be a bit tricky but hopefully it will all work out. For reasons mentioned in my last blog post I have decided to “self-host” my Sanford365 Blog and am moving the entire content from http://sanford365.wordress.com to http://sanford365.com. A big THANK YOU to WordPress Support at this point! You guys are [...]

Yay! Thanks to Kamran Malik, a very talented photographer friend of mine, I now have a new profile picture ;o) Kamran did an awesome job guiding me through on how to pose. Since I have no modeling experience I was afraid it might turn out to be difficult – well, it wasn’t at all, and [...]
Those of you who know me a bit better might know that I find squirrels absolutely adorable! On top of that they make me laugh everytime they run/jum around – hillarious ) I have no clue what it is about those little rodents that I like so much… Squirrels seem to be quite common in [...]
Walking around Colonial Towne Park in Lake Mary, many of you may already have noticed the banner hanging from the corner building across from Liam Fitzpatrick’s and Dexter’s. Vamonos Taqueria, Mexican restaurant chain is supposed to be opeing here real soon. I personally can’t wait to compare this place against Chipotle (my clear favorite when [...]
Tonight we were part of yet another birthday surprise party, and even though it was the 3rd or 4th in a row it was a great party. The location chosen was the Monkey Bar in Downtown Orlando. The Monkey Bar is located on Wall Street Plaza (off Orange between Central and Washington Street). I really [...]
Since we were in Ocoee today showing houses we decided to visit Ginza Japanese Steak and Sushi. This is a hibachi style restaurant where the chef prepares the food in the center on a grill and guests watch as their meal is cooked (this is the same concept that Kobe has, see Day 63). We [...]
A great place to have a light lunch in Lake Mary is Crispers Salads and Such at the Colonial Towne Park Plaza (located next to Publix and in front of Heathrow Urgent Care). I’m usually not a big salad fan but for anyone who enjoys “green food” I can recommend this place. A great alternative [...]
Just a snapshot from the car while waiting for the light to switch. When I first moved to Sanford in 2004 I didn’t know that 17-92 is called French Avenue where it passes by the Sanford downtown area and historic area. Not sure how many names 17-92 has throughout the Central Florida area but it [...]
This is a first time for me, too: Christmas by the ocean. Since we celebrated the “main event” already last night (in good old European tradition), we decided to drive to Daytona Beach this morning. So my parents, my sister Gabi, Jose and I all drove up to the beach to enjoy some sun. We [...]
Finally – the day we all have waited for! As we have always done it in Germany we celebrated Christmas on Christmas Eve (“Heiligabend” for us). I am especially happy that I can have my parents and my sister Gabi here with me this year. We also had my friend Natascha over for dinner and [...]
Came across this special stop sign when shopping today at Office Max on 46 in Sanford. This sign is on their parking lot, right in front of the store and as I walked by it I couldn’t resist and just had to take a picture of it. Kind of sends a clear message, doesn’t it? [...]
One of the best places for coffee, cakes, and light meals but also a selection of beer and fine wines is The Coffee Cafe at Colonial Town Park in Lake Mary. If you’re looking for a Starbucks alternative that also has a bit more to offer in terms of food, check it out! Their cakes [...]
A great Smoothie place to check out is Rubyjuice on First Street in Sanford. Especially refreshing on a warm sunny day before you stroll around Sanford downtown or also great for a smoothie dessert after lunch or dinner at one the restaurants in Sanford downtown. At Rubyjuice you will find a great variety of fresh [...]
Located on 301-309 First Street you will find the charming Bishop Block building, dating back to 1887. The building was built for J.N.Bishop after the great fire in Sanford (Fall 1887) in an attempt reconstruct the commercial district in Sanford. The style of the building is categorized as “Romanesque Revival” and was constructed by the [...]
