If you’re not from Atlanta, you’ve still probably heard about the snow we received and the effects it had on the city. I complained when it took me over 2 hours to get home from work, but when I learned of the magnitude the storm had on the roads, I realized I had nothing to…
I am super excited about the Super Bowl! My boyfriend, Peyton Manning, is the quarterback for the Denver Broncos – otherwise known as “The Winning Team”. Now, mind you, Peyton has no idea who this crazy lady in Atlanta is…but he’s still my boyfriend 🙂 Usually Super Bowl party get togethers are chock full of…
I don’t usually do a lot of decorating for Valentines Day. One item I always have in my kitchen are holiday tea towels. Whatever holiday or season, I usually have a tea towel hanging on my oven, or I use one when I have coffee in the morning. My towel from last year was fairly…
Well…this is too embarrassing to write write about – let alone actually show you photographs. I have been lacking some inspiration of late. Last week I showed you my fireplace mantel spruce up. After you see the following photos I’m sure you are wondering – “Why in the world didn’t she start here”. Truth be…
Today, I played…and I felt like I was right back in second grade.

I must admit…since the holidays I have had a hard time getting motivated or finding inspiration to do anything. I guess it’s the after-glow of the party that I didn’t want to end. The other night I was watching television and my fireplace mantel kept grabbing my attention. It was so sad looking – because…
I was just setting my dining room table for a dinner party tomorrow night. The invited guest and his partner is an associate of my Honey Bee and I want to make a good impression. I was trying out different dish patterns – wondering if I should go the china or every-day-dish route. I ultimately…
As I mentioned in my New Years Resolution post, I am working on losing weight to not only get healthy, but also to look great on my wedding day. I was looking through an old Weight Watchers cookbook I have, trying to get inspiration for some healthy meals I wanted to make. Then I stumbled…
As my mom mentioned yesterday, we are so incredibly lucky to be close enough to drive up to the Georgia Mountains, as well as the North Carolina Mountains. Every Memorial Day weekend our family goes camping in North Carolina and on our way up this past year, we noticed a store that was right up…
Living in Atlanta, we are fortunate to be able to travel short distances for day trips and getaways. In three and a half hours we can be in historic Savannah. In just an hour and a half we can be in the North Georgia Mountains. This weekend Jennifer and I took a day trip to…
