While we were in Tybee Island back in September, we decided to spen a few hours exploring Fort Pulaski. Unfortunately, just as we got there, the skies turned dark and we were up against a thunderstorm. Due to the lightning, we couldn’t stay up on the ramparts, but e did enjoy exploring the various rooms

As our tree stands in the corner undecorated other than lights, the girls got busy decorating sugar cones to look like Christmas trees. Cones, melted chocolate, coconut flakes and candy made for a fun time and some pretty trees!

While in Tybee Island in September, we decided to take a day to visit Savannah. Having never been there before, and because of the heat, we decided to try out one of the off-on trolley tours. While it was a fun way to see some of the old city, I don’t think we’d opt for
happiness project: health + misc (dec)
Though I did not accomplish everything on my November project list, I made good forward strides, enough to make me feel as though I am moving forward once again, and that gives me renewed energy. And now, it is time to start up on the December tasks! December: December’s topic is “Health”. I have other
shopping locally.
With our many visits to NYC and Paris and our year in DC, I’ve always imagined a life of living locally. But somehow, I just can’t seem to manage it yet. Today, I read this story in the New Yorker about a local mozzarella place in Manhattan — and why it has gone out of

As we are now halfway through this month, I’m ready to asses where I’ve gotten on my Happiness Project tasks for this month. Overall, things have been moving along vey nicely. I’ve tackled a number of our “trouble spots” including the junk drawer and more. I would still love to get the “art dresser” cleaned
home: master bath decorating
Now that I feel slightly more in control of my time on occasion, I’ve started to move forward a bit faster with working on our apartment. We moved back in February, and we seemed to do just the bare minimum we needed to do. We’ve worked a bit on the girls’ room, so they now
“volunteering”: gymnastics meet
This past weekend, Chloe’s gymnastics gym hosted the big “state meet” for a number of levels, not including Chloe’s. We “gym parents” have been inundated with emails for weeks now in regards to what we are required to donated and what our required volunteer shifts will be. I find it a bit off-putting to call

A couple weekends ago, I did something that I’ve never done before. I packed up Evie with me and Phelix, and we went off on our own little adventure. For years, my adventures almost always included the girls. I’ve gone on a couple of trips without them, but not off on my own. I’ve always

happiness project: finances + misc (nov)
A couple of weeks ago, I had a breakthrough : I conquered my to-do list! Well, not completely, as it has a revolving door of of things that I need to do, but I managed to finally cross off all the nagging things that I’ve needed to get to RIGHT NOW! In the past two

A couple of months ago, we headed up to Red Top Mountain State Park. So close to Atlanta, yet we had never been! Phelix and I got there first and set up the campsite. Rob and the girls came later after gymnastics. Camille and I had a lovely weekend of unwinding at the campsite for

As the year is starting to come to a close, I’ve been looking over our various lists and projects, figuring out what we haven’t done yet that we had hoped to do this year. On Chloe’s 2013 list was the Yellow River Game Ranch. Although we did spend a coupe hours there back in February
