Figuring out this whole parenting thing one playground at a time
Two weeks ago we had the opportunity to travel to Asheboro, North Carolina for a little adventure at Getaway House (hosted). This was our first stay in a tiny house and we were so excited for a new kind of adventure! Getaway makes it incredibly easy to check in without having to make any face [...]
As Halloween approaches we have been waiting to hear if our community will be doing traditional trick-or-treating or if we would need to get creative. One thing I had thought about doing was a candy search in the backyard kind of like an Easter egg hunt but Halloween themed! I also wanted to find a [...]
I don’t know about you but I am ready to say goodbye to these hot summer days and welcome the cooler days of fall! I have been so excited to see that many places here in Atlanta are going to have fun fall activities in the coming weeks. I have compiled a list of 10 [...]

As we quickly approached almost six months since our last adventure out of town as a family I felt the travel bug creeping up on me. While we were ready to go on an adventure we weren’t too sure if we were ready for busy beach towns and crowded hotels quite yet. While I was [...]
Schools out and now we are all looking for ways to entertain our kids inside and outside of the house. Museums, amusement parks, zoos, aquariums, and more attractions are slowly starting to reopen. Here is a list of family friendly attractions that are open or reopening and some of their new guidelines. 1. Georgia Aquarium [...]
