Good Morning Darlings!

A big discussion around our dinner table lately has been how to get friends to promptly RSVP to any party we are giving. Seems like everyone receives so many invites that is hard to distinguish one from another.

I have an idea!

Good Morning Darlings!

A couple of weeks ago, Eric & I were lucky enough to be invited on a rafting trip down the Chattahoochee for the day.

It was a blast. And I cannot imagine what Atlanta would be like without our famous river. What if we couldn’t go rafting down the river in the summer?

Show some love for our Hootch

Don’t you still have a bit of vacation left? How about hopping on a plane and spending your vacay in Arizona? And not just any place in Arizona, but The Ritz-Carlton, Dove Mountain.

More inside!

Still trying to beat the heat here in Atlanta. Good gracious, it is sultry.

Good Morning Darlings!

The summer is in full swing and our neighborhood (aka “The Cruise Ship”), has set sail. This means tons of parties, cookouts and drinking on various porches and backyards of all our friends.

It is almost as much fun as Christmas, but for a longer period of time and more heat.

Last weekend, we gathered together to celebrate Rick’s birthday.

The merriment begins inside

Good Morning Darlings!

I love the color pink. It is the epitome of being a girl. It is also the official color associated with Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

What’s all the newest in pink?
