Strawberry picking in North Georgia
| May 24, 2011 | Filled under Atlanta, My Kids, Where to go with kids in Atlanta, Wordless Wednesday |
I took my preschooler on her first strawberry picking outing in North Georgia. Strawberries are easy to pick for a preschooler since they are so large and bright. This activity is quite addictive – we did not leave the patch until we had about 4 gallons. Our plan was to use some for a strawberry daiquiri, […]

I have mostly stayed away from prepared Guacamole sold in stores. The green mixture of oils, preservatives and starches, artificially colored and flavored, looked not only unappealing, but terrifying after I read the label.

I love Paris. Sounds way too cliché, I know. How could anybody not love it, especially when we live so far away from it? I recently learned a few things I did not know about Paris. For example, that Paris is called “the city of light”. I had no idea, even though I have been […]
