I really really really enjoyed this book. It had me on the edge of my seat (a.k.a. stayed up all night to finish) and I was pulled right in within the first few pages. This historical fiction has everything- from suspense, to romance, to a mother’s intense love, and touches on a very difficult subject matter: immigrants at the border…. View Post
Hello friends and happy weekend! The boys are off school today and we officially kick off our spring break! We had a couple beautiful warm spring-like days here this week and I am definitely experiencing some major spring fever. However, for our spring break we will be COLD as we are heading to Montana to ski! Then we will have… View Post
If Covid has taught us all anything it’s that you have to think more creatively about creating your own entertainment. So for our 2021 weekends we decided that we would make it a point to explore different Atlanta hikes. Fortunately, there are endless hike options to choose from and I have enjoyed thinking about it each week and coming up… View Post
Well, did you hear? Apparently word on the street is that skinny jeans are “out”. Which I find hilarious because I’d like to know who exactly gets to decide what is “in” and what is “out?” Anywho- I will likely never stop wearing skinny jeans but I do like the look of the boot crop jeans, especially with warmer temps… View Post
Hello hello again and happy Friday! With Monday off this week has flown but I am still thrilled to be landing on another weekend. I sure hope you have been staying warm and safe this week.

So when the hubby suggested we escape to Florida for a winter escape- a weekend road trip to 30-A was born! Thank goodness for 3-day weekends and last minute VRBO rentals. We actually took the… View Post
We’ve been doing lots of family outdoor hikes lately, which has been the perfect weekend pandemic activity for the crew. It’s so nice that both boys are finally old enough to just go with pretty much anything after so many years of having to consider their size and age. It has also been nice to have less sports and activities… View Post
Greetings from the sunshine state and happy Valentine’s weekend and President’s Day weekend! Do you have Monday off? The boys do so we decided to turn our 3-day weekend into a family getaway and rented a last minute house down on 30-A (beaches in the pandhandle of Florida). The forecast isn’t great but it will be nice to have a… View Post
A few years ago we went to dinner with a group of friends at one of our favorite restaurants (Le Colonial) and after dinner someone suggested a round of Espresso Martinis as dessert for the table. I am not a martini drinker and not really an espresso drinker- but I trusted my friend and figured I would give an Espresso… View Post
