After the coldest Thanksgiving in more than a century, this Georgia winter is shaping up to be one of the coldest on record. I mean the schools even closed it was so cold! Unfortunately for many families like mine, a cold winter means high energy costs. It can be quite costly to heat a home, especially […]
It’s Time for #GirlScoutCookies!
So…it’s actually been Girl Scout Cookie time for 21 days now. Have you seen the status updates and tweets begging asking for you to buy a box of their daughter’s Girl Scout cookies? Have you been hit up by some sweet little girls knocking on your front door like it was 1954? Or maybe their […]
Atlantans join me at a Children’s Coat Drive Jan. 25 #Eaves4Kids
Remember way back, like 5 days ago, when it was too cold to go to school? Remember when the news talked about how quickly a person could get frostbite if they didn’t have the proper clothing? Remember how you bundled your own kids up? Well now you can do something to help kids who don’t […]
I need a snow day like I need a hole in the head
It’s cold in Atlanta. Very cool by Atlanta standards. Highs will be in the 20’s tomorrow with lows in single digits and the wind chill will be even lower. To my hearty Northern friends that sounds like a nice day for a picnic, but down here it is cause for frenzy. And that frenzy closed […]
Holiday Gift Guide: Austin Lloyd gift boxes
I had the pleasure of receiving a complimentary Austin Lloyd gift box so I could review it on this blog. Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect. The box was being sent for my 19 month old but with four kids in this house, would this box have toys in it that we didn’t already […]

Holiday Gift Guide: The #1 thing to get your husband for Christmas
Disclosure: I received a pair of Hanky Panky thongs to review for this post but of course my opinions weren’t swayed by their awesomeness.All men want for Christmas is SEX. I’m told by a very reputable source that they want that for their birthday, Valentine’s Day, 4th of July, Columbus Day, and any day of […]
Atlanta’s newest shopping district: Emory Point
I’m trying to look hip. I had the pleasure of being invited over to the other side of 285 to check out one of Atlanta’s newest Live-Work-Play neighborhoods, Emory Point. I received some coupons and gift cards (and yummy food) from the vendors there but of course that doesn’t influence my opinion at all. Honestly, […]
Skate Atlantic Station: Know Before You Go
I had the pleasure of receiving complimentary passes to check out Atlanta’s newest ice skating rink, Skate Atlantic Station, the 10,000 square foot open-air ice skating rink. The free passes didn’t influence my opinion of the attraction though. It is an awesome addition to the Live-Work-Play community of Atlantic Station. Rather large, for Atlanta standards, […]
Five things that surprised me about @BJsWholesale Club #BJsHoliday
I attended a holiday preview event at BJ’s and received some products and a giftcard for my participation. All opinions are my own. I had never stepped foot inside a BJ’s Wholesale Club before this week. Sure I have a big family and we eat (a lot) but I don’t belong to a wholesale club […]
