You may have noticed around this blog I have a little obsession with food. I could talk, write, and make food for hours. I love spending time in the kitchen as long as I am not doing the dishes. As a parent, I need to make good choices for my children when it comes to [...]
I struggle to work out on a regular basis. Yes, I go to the park with the kids, swim in the pool, but I never really schedule any specific time to workout. That needs to change. I am over 40, and need to focus on my health, not only for myself, but for my children. [...]
Ever since I started baking with the #BundtAMonth group, I have been steadily feeding the cakes to my co-workers. The cakes disappear rather quickly, especially when the word spreads that my department has treats. On top of my coworkers enjoying the cakes, I am now getting requests for co-worker’s favorite flavors! This really makes my heart [...]
Here in the South our schools let out earlier than in the North. I have a friend in Maine that said her children will be in school 4 weeks longer than mine. Sheesh! My kids are already in full swing Summer vacation mode, and that includes a few fly by the seat of our pants [...]
Thank you to Chick-fil-A and Mom It Forward for providing me the opportunity to host a meetup for sampling Chick-fil-A’s new premium salads. Chick-fil-A’s® entrée salad line is getting a makeover. A few week’s ago, I was happy to host a mom’s night out to sample three new premium salads now being offered. I arrived [...]
We’ve all been there. In a rush, in the car, and we automatically grab our phone because something urgent just popped into our over-stimulated brain. Being distracted when we are supposed to be focused on the road and driving causes accidents. It’s a fact. Too many people are multi-tasking in the car versus actually just [...]
Happy Sunday everyone! I am still in catch up mode since school let out last week, but I made sure I was signed up this week’s #SundaySupper because the theme is a favorite of mine – Summer Berries! I love summer fruit and veggies in general. They just taste so much better. We usually try [...]
Warm weather is here, and that means festival season is already in full swing here in Atlanta! Next weekend, there are two family friendly festivals that you won’t want to miss! The Peachtree Hills Festival of the Arts and the Living Social Wine Festival are both happening on the same weekend! The bonus for you is, [...]
I love sharing photos on Instagram! I’m a filter and photo edit app addict too. What I am not so good doing, is participating in the fun photo-a-day projects that float around in all my social circles. I started one month, and I think I made it to day 3. June is the month for [...]
I’ve attended multiple #SugarComa events presented by the lovely Shameeka, from The Broke Socialite, and I have enjoyed every single one, and so have my children. The Sugar Coma events are super fun and family friendly, and don’t forget about the awesome sugar high! And subsequent, inevitable, crash nap. Now there is a new event on the horizon! Wahooo! [...]

Celebrating its 30th Anniversary, the pop culture phenomenon of FLASHDANCE is now live on stage. With electrifying dance at its [...]

The festival is held each year in the month of September to celebrate the blooming of the Confederate Yellow Daisy. Families and friends can [...]
I know Halloween was last week, but I just couldn’t resist sharing pictures! I love Halloween, and we brought Baby home from the hospital on October 31st, so it will always be special to me. Here we are ready to go out and snag some yummy candy!
This past weekend was full of fun! My parents were in town, Baby turned 8 and we finally set to carving our pumpkin! After years of so-so pumpkins, I finally broke down this year and bought an actual pumpkin carving kit, complete with stencils. I told DH it was for the kids, but between you and [...]
Or maybe a better title would have been… Holy Crap! How am I old enough to have a SECOND GRADER! What a difference three years makes. Baby was 4 (going on 5) in the left picture, excited to be starting a new school in a new state. This year Baby is 7 (going on 15 OY!), and [...]
Now we just have to raise that seat for my tall girl! It seems she grew a few inches overnight again!
Nothing better for Baby, than some old fashioned Tic Tac Toe and some one-on-one time with Poppy.
Each morning I remind my 8 year old to brush her teeth, and every night without fail, I send her up to brush them again before bed. But I have a horrible confession to make. I don’t do the same. I am pretty much a slacker, when it comes to my own tooth protection and [...]
Chocolate and peanut butter. One of the BEST combinations out there in my opinion, and when you add banana into the mix, it’s over the top. You already know I am crazy for bundt cakes, so it should be no surprise that I am sharing this amazing Peanut Butter Banana Bundt Cake with Chocolate Chips [...]
I am participating in the Verizon Wireless Ambassadors program. I have been provided with a wireless device, and three months of service in exchange for my honest opinions about the product. If you didn’t notice all my tweets a few weeks ago about how YOU could get an awesome 25% discount coupon for any Verizon accessory, I’m [...]
It’s Memorial Day weekend! That means a three day weekend is upon us, and I have an extra day to spend with the family. The weather is cooperating, and holiday picnics are in the air. I am excited to be back participating in this week’s #SundaySupper, and we are all thrilled to be sharing our [...]
