Blakeley Vinicky

Born and raised in Savannah, GA, Blakeley Vinicky has been a Jacksonville resident for more than 14 years. She moved to Jax temporarily for an internship at The Jacksonville Landing (RIP), fell in love with the city and a boy (her now husband), and ended up sticking around. She is married to loud and crazy Chicago native Jimmy Vinicky of nearly 10 years and has two daughters, Daisy and Poppy. In addition to writing for Jacksonville Mom, she works full-time in Public Relations, runs her own lifestyle blog, This Blonde Life, and is a freelance makeup artist. She loves adventuring with her family; you’ll rarely catch her sitting around home doing nothing. Her favorite local spots include Sipper’s and Breezy coffee houses, Wicked Barley Brewing, Cap’s on the Water, Ink Factory, happy hour at One Ocean’s Azurea, and soaking up rays at the beach.
