Picking just a few photos to share from our family Picking just a few photos to share from our family photoshoot with @keikilaniphotography was the hardest thing ever! 

I'm saving Ben's 2-year-old portraits for his birthday so that made it a little easier, but every picture Jennifer sent us is just perfection.

Love these two with all my heart. So grateful for this life. 💕

To make this, drizzle melted butter over popcorn, then sprinkle garlic salt and everything bagel seasoning. Mix well and repeat the steps. 🍿 

I found these little "par-tee" containers to hold your popcorn!

Do you watch the Masters? 🏌🏻‍♂️

Add lemon zest, slices of lemon, rosemary and vanilla extract to a pot. Cover ingredients with water and simmer on low heat. 

You could also swap rosemary for mint leaves! I'm definitely going to try that option too.

Do you use simmer pots? What is your favorite combination?

To make banana sushi you just coat a banana in melted chocolate or peanut butter and roll it in sprinkles, mini candies, coconut, Rice Krispies, crushed granola bars or whatever else you can think of! Then you slice it up like sushi pieces and enjoy with your littles. 

We had a blast making a big mess!

5 Atlanta Events You Can’t Miss

what_to_do_in_atlanta

I love living in Atlanta. It is such a cool city with so many places to visit and things to see. It seems like every day there is something cool going on somewhere inside the perimeter. We have brunch festivals and music festivals and food truck festivals and mimosa 5Ks. I mean the list goes on and on.

I could talk forever about some of my favorite events in Atlanta, but I’m going to focus this post on 5 events I haven’t been to yet but am definitely not missing in 2016. Most of them revolve around food and alcohol so don’t judge me too harshly. Or do. Eating and drinking are two of my favorite activities so I can’t really apologize for that…

Atlanta Taco Festival –  May 1, 2016

Source

The inaugural Atlanta Taco Festival is happening this Sunday and is a six-hour taco competition and celebration! If it sounds like heaven, that’s because it is. The festival will also feature salsa dancing, live local bands, and Lucha Libre Wrestling.

Margarita Wars – May 26, 2016


In a perfect world, Margarita Wars would happen at the same time as the Atlanta Taco Festival…but sadly screws fall out all the time, the world is an imperfect place. However, Margarita Wars sounds like the perfect event! 10 Margarita makers will compete to become Atlanta’s Favorite Margarita and the only way to figure that out is to drink them all and vote. So…I won’t be missing this one.

Brew at the Zoo – May 28, 2016





At this event you walk around and drink beer and wine whilst looking at animals. I mean it doesn’t get any cooler than that…

Atlanta Moon Ride – June 10, 2016

This year will be the fourth Atlanta Moon Ride, and I’ve never been but always hear so much about it. Basically, you dress up in really bright colors and ride around on your bike through the fun neighborhoods in Atlanta. It’s kind of like a rolling party.

Atlanta Mac and Cheese Festival – October 8, 2016



We don’t know a lot about this event yet…except that it is happening and we get to eat a lot of Mac and Cheese. It will be the first one so I will choose to ignore that this event takes place two weeks before my wedding and I will be in major diet mode by this point. I can’t miss this. It’s a whole festival devoted to my favorite food…
