I’m going to run a marathon…sort of…for @ChildrensATL
When Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta asked me to run their Miracle Marathon I was wary. A fun one-mile run? Awesome! A 5k? Sure! A marathon? Umm… But I needn’t have worried. The Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta’s Miracle Marathon is a 27.2 mile run spread out over 27 days in October. Starting October 1, I commit […]

The Smith’s Staycation: Stone Mountain Park & Evergreen Marriott
The Lasershow starts at dusk This summer has been the summer for staying close to home for our family. Road trips are fun, but with four kids under the age of 7, they are a lot (A LOT) of work. Being close to home is just easier. And lucky for us, we live close to some […]
Yes, I did have “Brekie in Bed” with @NoosaYoghurt
I didn’t know what to expect when a PR company offered to send me “brekie in bed” (Austrailian for breakfast in bed). They didn’t ask me to do a post or compensate me, other than sending me lots, and lots of delicious yogurt, but after tasting Noosa Yoghurt, I had to tell you about it.Noosa […]
