Granted, it is a First World Dilemma, but have you noticed that after a certain size, little girl’s clothes oftentimes look less like they belong on little girls and more like a Queens city block exploded on a T-shirt? My cousin and I were recently talking about how we are just not digging most of the drunken-bedazzled episodes we see featured in the girls’ section of the department...
Gatsby-Inspired
May 03
What are you doing this weekend? I’ve convinced a friend to go see The Great Gatsby with me on Saturday night while Clark hosts a Sci-fi movie marathon at the house. Did you read that book in high school? I read it in the 9th grade, and it was the first time I had ever heard of the phrases, “old money” and “new money”. My family didn’t have any money–...
Easter Parade
Mar 28
Do you have any plans for Easter weekend? Clark is going to be playing out for most of the time which means that the kids and I will be watching Easter Parade more than once. In addition, I have planned an entirely Paleo dinner for Easter Sunday. With any luck, I will post my recipe successes next week unless disaster strikes and we end up ordering Chinese take-out. It has happened before...

You never {and I mean never} know when one might come in handy. My car is in the shop, so I took Clark’s car {during the Friday Rush Hour Exodus} downtown for the event at the Georgia Aquarium. He drives a...
What Would Lady Grantham Do?
Mar 21
What are you doing this weekend? Clark and I are going to the Safehouse Urban Gala at the Georgia Aquarium on Friday night. He will be the one with a guitar strapped to him, and I will be the one wearing a gown because as we’ve clearly established, there is a difference between a dress and a gown. Ahem. I haven’t worn a gown since high school {aside from my wedding gown, and...
