If you know me at all... You know how much I love to travel and see what all is out there.  Lucky for me, Matt likes it too, so we have made many adventures together already!  We can go on a day trip, or an over night one... either way, you can bet we will be laughing along the way!   Recently we were invited to check out a friend of mine's airbnb - and I have to be honest, it is the first airbnb I have ever been in... but it was absolutely PERFECT, so I wanted to tell you all about it!   So, the airbnb is in Pine Mountain Valley, Georgia.  We got there and wanted to check out the little town.  That being said, we drove over to the "main street" there and parked to check it out. They had several buildings with murals painted on the side.  They had a few different places to shop - and GET THIS ---  my friends were in the process of opening up an eating establishment!!! It is called Dakota's Counter   and its in downtown Chipley,...

I am not sure about where you live, but around here we are officially in SUMMER BREAK mode.  I know some parents try to plan out the whole summer, others just go with the flow.  I am not judging either type, as I know you as a parent know whats best for your situation and your family.  That being said, we try to plan a few things...  KEY WORD IS TRY .  One thing we plan each year is Vacation Bible School, another we try to do is something fun and this year we will be hitting up Zoo Atlanta. Other than that, we just sort of let summer be full of random lazy days and adventure when we can.

Most people know that Atlanta has tons of things to do.  As a child, I remember taking our vacations as trips to Atlanta.  You name it, they might have something somewhat like what you are looking for.  I am so blessed that we live here now and that I am able to take my children to different things around the city.   Recently we were able to take the day and enjoy ourselves at the Georgia Aquarium .   If you have never been before, you are in for a real treat. If you are familiar, you know how much fun there is to be had!!!  I like how the Aquarium is laid out.  The easiest way for me to explain it would be to say it somewhat resembles a spider.  You have the center of it all (...

For any of you that are making vacation plans to come to Atlanta... or are planning an awesome staycation...  Head up 400 a few exits and check out the newest thing to Alpharetta... Main Event!   We were invited to attend the celebrations to prepare for their Grand Opening and we had a blast!!!  For those not sure what Main Event is, let me tell you... Bowling.  Arcade. Laser Tag. Ropes Course. Food. Drinks.  All in one place!   Working in a sports bar for years, I always look to see if there is somewhere to watch whatever sporting events are on  TV  and they have you covered!   One thing I liked? The big screens.  At one point, they had music playing i...

I tell you, it seems like I was just crying tears putting Broxton in preschool and now we are almost to the summer before he starts kindergarten!  What?!   Well- if you are planning a vacation or a stay cation - look no further than visiting Atlanta!   There really is so much to do around here ... from sporting events to museums, theme parks to many many great places to eat and shop.  Bottom line is that the options are endless... and if you are flying in - you have plenty of options of transportation, but if you want to rent a car, you can travel a couple hours to even more fun and adventure!   Anyways, I want to share with you my experience at Fernbank,...

I am not sure if spring break is going on in your area - but it is in FULL force here.  Broxton had his one week, the brothers had theirs another, seems like the end of March and all of April is Spring Break city around this area!   With that being said, I wanted to do a little bit of a "staycation" with the boys.  Living in Georgia ALL of my life, I tend to take the local attractions for granted, but not recently!   We had the opportunity to go to Zoo Atlanta the other day and to say we had a great time was an understatement!  We had a BLAST!!!!   I was so excited to go and see the twin baby panda's, but Broxton got in his mind he wanted to see the giraffes the most!  The older...
