This past weekend my sister and brother-in-law were in town with my niece so I had to take them to my favorite U-Pick strawberry farm near Atlanta, Southern Belle Farm. Southern Belle, located in McDonough, GA is only a 45 minute drive from midtown Atlanta and offers U-pick options year-round. It is a family owned [...]
I had the best experience during my weekend stay at the Alida hotel in Savannah. The hotel has taken great care to follow COVID guidelines. Masks are required in all public areas and all unnecessary high-touch items have been removed from guest rooms. The Alida is a Tribute Portfolio hotel which are know for being [...]
In January I was on track with my reading! This year I am aiming to read 60 books (up from my normal 52 goal) and reading 5 books this month has me on my way. I often find myself reading historical fiction books, many WWII related, and I actually read two of them this month. [...]

It is a female-owned small business specializing in small production wines, specifically organic and naturally done wines. With a curated collection of new and old world wine you are bound to find something that strikes your fancy. Aside [...]
I’m sitting here thinking…wow another Monday. Life has been so strange lately because it feels like weeks fly by but nothing changes. It just all feels so monotonous. I think it is safe to say that we all assumed our lives would change for a few months due to COVID but then bounce back. While [...]
April was filled with a truly random assortment of reads. I thought I would spend more time reading this past month but I have recently been doing some serious tv binge watching. Honestly I am amazed that no one previously made me watch 90 Day Fiancé and all of the spin off shows…talk about some [...]
