The day to day life of a married couple in Atlanta. Trying to make life more of an adventure than just humdrum.
Every year, we like to go away for our anniversary, even if it’s just a small weekend trip. This year, though, our anniversary coincided with Easter weekend.

The Unwelcome Gift – The Flu Since my wonderful hubby came down with the flu during our Christmas break, all of our activities ended up being a bit more low-key than expected. We still made most of the food that we had planned, but a few things got put on the back burner or not …
We Heart Christmas! Christmas is one of our favorite holidays, and each year, we look forward to having a theme with our decor. If you saw our earlier post about the custom wrapping paper by our friend Tracey, then you know our theme for this year was a rustic, woodsy theme. We never really intended …
The Invitation Axe throwing. In December. Are we going to chop down a tree for Christmas? Did the invitation really say, “Axe throwing”??? Sounds like a remarkably safe activity… Oh, and I see on their website that alcohol could be consumed by participants, if desired. Sounds REALLY safe! “Give ’em a drink and an axe! …
