This baby shower brought my sister home for the weekend. She lives in Savannah, so she’s had to travel a few times for the baby showers the family has hosted for her and Paul. We had so much fun making decorations and coming up with games to play. Of course, no baby shower is official […]

Brooke’s Baby Shower

This year we had a quiet, low key, Easter at my In-Law’s house. I knew Easter was coming but it hadn’t crossed my mind about what we would do or eat on Easter Sunday. All I knew is how much back end work I needed to get done over the weekend, I hadn’t really thought […]

If you want to feel like you’re in the middle of a Hallmark movie, you should visit the ice skating rink in Sugar Hill, Ga. It’s such a fun, romantic setting. There’s a mix of all ages out there smiling, holding hands and laughing. This rink is right next to city hall. It’s well lit […]
