Good Morning Darlings!
Do you feel the cool in the air? Just a subtle change right now that will segue into full fledged autumn weather.
The change of season invariably has me thinking of new ways to entertain. Autumn is the gateway to all those fabulous holiday parties that keep everyone busy. And with so many parties to choose from, make sure yours is the one they are still talking about next year.
What am I whipping up?

Good Morning Darlings!
It is no secret that I am totally enamored of The Ritz-Carlton. And I promise, it is not the extravagant crystal chandeliers, the winding staircases or even the best spas in the world. It is the people of the Ritz that bowl me over every time.
Eric and I stayed one night recently at The Ritz-Carlton, Reynolds Plantation. This property is special to us because it was our first Ritz-Carlton. Just one year ago we were welcomed with open arms as I entered to write a story about this fabulous luxe lodge on sparkling Lake Oconee.
What’s new since last year?
Care to join me for dinner?

Good Morning Darlings!
Last week was a whirlwind of Ritz-Carlton pampering. It was divine. But I missed you!
I have a plethora of treats to share with you this week.
What’s New?

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

Good Morning Darlings!
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.
How shall we beat the heat this weekend?

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!
Oh, how I love a good dinner party. I love every aspect of it. The planning, the menu, the cooking, and especially the guest list.
How did this one come together?
