On Saturday. A week after we signed the lease on the house. Yes, we got a house. No, we weren't originally planning to move so quickly. Yes, we are insane. A week to pack and move. I grew up in a military family. This shouldn't be too hard (I say while panicking). So, last week… Continue reading We’re Moving!

Run Away with Me (…for the weekend)
“The vacation we often need is freedom from our own mind.” -Jack Adam Weber Breaks. We all need them. So what better time to have one than right after the holidays? Running away from all responsibilities right after the busiest time of year is glorious. It's a notoriously slow weekend for travel and the deals… Continue reading Run Away with Me (…for the weekend)
Pour Yourself a Glass and Stay Awhile
“Wine makes every meal an occasion, every table more elegant, every day more civilized.”― Andre Simon So if you haven't realized it already, this whole post is going to be wine related. More specifically, about two wineries here in Georgia that transport you to Europe without a passport. Anyone who knows me is aware that I… Continue reading Pour Yourself a Glass and Stay Awhile
It’s Been A While
“It’s only after you’ve stepped outside your comfort zone that you begin to change, grow, and transform.”― Roy T. Bennett Hey y'all. I've been extremely absent the past two months..from a lot of things. September was an interesting month. I decided to leave my desk job of three years with no job lined up. I've never… Continue reading It’s Been A While
Stop and Smell the Flora
"If you want to be happy for a lifetime, be a gardener." -Unknown I love this quote. However, it's misleading. I'm not a gardener. I can't keep anything but precut store bought flowers alive for a week. Which is why, I go to public gardens or in this post's case: the Atlanta Botanical Gardens. If… Continue reading Stop and Smell the Flora
A Little Bit of Spanish Influence Down Here
“The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” – Saint Augustine What better way to start a post about St. Augustine, FL then with a quote from Saint Augustine?

I’ll Take One of Everything, Please
“Ask not what you can do for your country. Ask what’s for lunch.” ― Orson Welles OH man, y'all. We just got back from St. Augustine and I'm pretty sure I'm feeling the vacation weight. Just kidding, we sweated it off in the Florida heat and humidity. That's how we got away with all the food intake.… Continue reading I’ll Take One of Everything, Please

This post is a little different than my normal formatting, but that's okay cause this is equally important. It's a… Continue reading Extra! Extra! Read All About It!
Going for the Gold…and the Beach
“I haven’t been everywhere, but it’s on my list.” —Susan Sontag Oh man, I am so sorry. Truly. I've been absent, and it's solely because we've settled into a routine. Work. Sleep. Sometimes Eat. Repeat. It's been awful. Add in some medical issues and for a moment it looked like this was going to be… Continue reading Going for the Gold…and the Beach
Night on the Town
"Quality of life actually begins at home - it's in your street, around your community." -Charles Kennedy Fridays N Duluth Fun We moved into Duluth, GA three years ago. At the time, the downtown area wasn't much to look at. Construction had just began to revitalize the main street and we didn't think we'd stay… Continue reading Night on the Town
