Callaway Gardens

Mommy is a little ambitious. I have been trying really hard to make this a perfect Christmas for Mason, so I began by booking tickets for us to take our first weekend get-away to Callaway Gardens for the “Fantasy in Lights” show.   I was so excited about going up and wanted Mason to see Santa [...]

A Side Trip to Plains

Before heading home, I persuaded Mike to drive the short distance from Americus to Plains, the home of former President and First Lady Jimmy and Rosalyn Carter.  My daddy and I have talked about going to Plains for years, and I did not want to miss an opportunity to check it out since we were [...]

Mike and I stopped for lunch in Americus, Georgia, at a cute little shop called Well Read & Well Fed.  Mason was very happy to get out of his car seat even happier to greet all of the people inside.  He never meets a stranger, my little man!  And he loves to flirt with women [...]

Mike and I both had Friday off and decided to get out of the house with Mason.  We have been wanting to go to Andersonville for a long time but have never made the trip.  Besides, why waste a day off?

The absolute BEST part of our anniversary weekend was dinner on Saturday night.  Mike wanted to do something special, so he made reservations for us to dine at SALT Restaurant at the Ritz-Carlton.  It was spectacular.  The service was amazing, and our table had an ocean view.  Because it was a special occasion, upon arrival [...]

We actually went swimming on Friday night after Happy Hour [...]

Mike and I realized this weekend that we have no plans for Memorial Day.  Last year, I was so excited to be going to Monroeville, Alabama, Harper Lee’s home, to watch a theatrical version of To Kill a Mockingbird.  As we were dropping our dogs off at my mom’s, I literally started throwing up in [...]

I have felt cooped up since I found out I was pregnant last Spring.  I am not normally someone who stays around the house much.  Mike and I love to take road trips.  However, I had horrible morning sickness (that lasted all day) well into my second trimester, then I was put on light activity.  [...]

As with other southerners, our lives completely revolve around football in the fall.  Saturdays are reserved for the FSU Seminoles and Sundays belong to the Jacksonville Jaguars (after church, of course!). 
This weekend was one of mixed feelings.  After a long day of running errands and car shopping, we made it home in time to host [...]
