Atlanta Jazz Festival 2013
You never have to spend a lot of money in Atlanta to have fun. The Atlanta Jazz Festival is just another one of those fantastic events that caters to families. Free of charge and on the MARTA line, packing up our blanket and heading to Piedmont on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon was a no brainer. There were crowds of people walking from the MARTA station to the park and I had a good time chatting as we trekked our way to the venue. We saw … Continue reading

The May FitChick Challenge
I swore that I’d never ever get involved in any online “challenges”. There are a LOT of them. You’ve got Cinnamon Challenges, Hair Growth Challenges, Instagram Daily Pic Challenges, Salad Challenges, you name it and there’s a “challenge” for it.

Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint ~ Atlanta
Do you believe in love at first sight? I hope so that you can understand what I felt when I happened into Sweet Georgia’s Juke Joint last night! I immediately fell IN LOVE with this poppin spot located on the corner of Peachtree & Ellis St (Midtown). When I think of a “Juke Joint” I think about The Color Purple and that raggedy place they built in the swamp that was packed EVERY weekend, because they had the best music and food. It was the … Continue reading
