Win VIP tickets to the Atlanta Baby and Child Expo
As someone who is currently expecting (5 more weeks!), I am always on the lookout for products and information that will make bringing a newborn home any easier. Even though this is my 4th baby in 5 years, it seems there is always something new I need or want. But it’s just hard to find […]
Review: Chick Fil A’s new dessert menu
Starting April 16, the Atlanta-based fast food giant, Chick Fil A, rolled out a sweet update of their dessert menu nationwide. My family and I had the opportunity to have a dessert tasting at the Chick Fil A Vinings this week to check out the sweet treats for ourselves. As I am nearly 9 months […]
Luxury Living | Spring Break at The Breakers Palm Beach

What used to be known as a rather…ahem… bourgeois…type of mall, now is open it’s arms (and free parking decks) to the minivan masses. I had a chance to preview the attraction […]
Top take aways from #SheStreams
Me at the Disney World luncheon I had the amazing opportunity to come to the blogging conference, SheStreams, as a guest of BSM Media and the conference’s corporate sponsor, AT&T. All I had to do was get myself to Ft. Lauderdale and soak up as much knowledge (and Florida sun) as I could. I am […]
