Good Morning Darlings!
My sweet friend Kate is keeping me up to date with the happenings around town for the holidays.
What should we do first?

The state of Georgia has so much to love. We are the home to the Atlanta Falcons, the Atlanta Braves, Jimmy Carter and Scarlett O’Hara.
Who is our most famous Georgian?

I get a lot of cookbooks. I love cookbooks. It is time to review all those cookbooks recently sent to me.
Do you love cookbooks, too?

My adorable friend, Barry Belcher (who you might remember from our hilarious cooking videos here and here ), is the new Marketing Manager at The Mansion on Peachtree . Their Elf on the Shelf is back for Christmas and is making appearances all over the property during the holidays.
Take a look! And go visit him in person. While you are there you can duck in for a drink at their swanky bar. You never know you you might meet there!

No one likes to discuss parties and etiquette as much as I do, but it’s fun to get a fresh perspective now and again.

With all the turkey put away, let’s talk holiday baking. We can talk about Christmas now, right?

I hope you are reading this while watching the Macy’s Day Parade in your jammies and drinking hot chocolate on the couch. While someone else peels the potatoes.
What else am I thankful for?

If you haven’t decided what to serve after Thanksgiving dinner, allow me to lend a hand.
What sounds good and what’s easy?
