My parents, Camille, Phelix and I braved the weather to go for a little hike on Arabia Mountain. Phelix loved playing in the water…

Even if I’m stuck here at home keeping the homefires stoked, I love when we can slip away for a few hours. And one of my go-to places is Arabia Mountain. The girls balk at hiking for the most part, but Arabia Mountain? They love it … As does the puppy-duppy. So last weekend, when

The girls and I took Phelix hiking at Arabia Mountain today. He had a blast playing in the lake. He kept trying to step onto the top of the water and was frustrated that his foot would go through each and every time.

Generally, when people think of stone outcrops in Atlanta, they think of Stone Mountain. But our favorite outcrop? Much less famous, but one of our favorite places to go, is the Davidson-Arabia Nature Preserve. While my favorite time to go is during the spring when the mountain looks like a magical wonderland, I love to

After our morning hike at Arabia Mountain, we decided on having a nice lunch out. Chloe got a little bored waiting for the food to arrive.

Slowly but surely, Phelix is learning. He still barks, but he’s barking less. He still pees in the house sometimes, but not quite as much. He did very well at his fourth doggie class, too. This week, Phelix got to go on a long walk to our friends’ house where he played in the fenced

No, I’m not talking about Disney … despite our recent whirlwind. No, I’m talking about Arabia Mountain. We’ve “hiked” this DeKalb County Park outcrop a few times in past years but have returned twice in the past month. Chloe gets bored. Camille generally is unreceptive to being out of doors and hiking. But they both

Today, not only did the girls and I get in a nice hike at Arabia Mountain, but Camille also helped me straighten out my Instagram issues. Hopefully, I’ll start using it a little more now!!
Photo Friday: Panola Mountain State Park
On Tuesday, we went to Panola Mountain State Park, just east of Atlanta. While we spent most of our time in the area near the nature center, we did take a short drive to the other end of the park where the bike path runs. It is an area we hope to return to once
Around Atlanta: Panola Mountain State Park
A gorgeous spring morning in Atlanta deserves an outing! With our new Georgia State Parks pass, we decided to head over to Panola Mountain State Park. Similar to Arabia Mountain, a DeKalb County park, the park features a granite outcrop. Unlike Arabia Mountain, access to the outcrop is limited to guided tours, mostly on the
Scenes from Our Week
This week, among other things, we watched the lunar eclipse and celebrated the solstice: we had outings to Arabia Mountain and the High Museum: we spent time at home playing games, working on our projects/crafts and dressing up: and, of course, we celebrated Christmas by opening cards and presents: What will next week bring??
Around Atlanta: Arabia Mountain
As I walked out the door to head down to the lake to welcome the sun back from the longest night, I immediately had to strip off some layers. For pre-dawn on December 22nd, it sure was hot and humid!! I had planned on taking the girls to the High Museum that morning, but after

Despite having wanting to go for months after seeing a neighbor’s photos, we had not taken the time to head to Arabia Mountain until yesterday. Why did we wait so long? Nearby, free, uncrowded and amazing!!! We were met in the “nature center” by a ranger, who suggested a hiking route for us to follow.
