Atlanta Holiday Home – Part 1
This is my third year in a row going to the Holiday Home sponsored by Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles Magazine and it didn’t disappoint. I have to break it down into two parts because the house was huge. Located in the Chastain Park area of Atlanta, we had to park at the horse park and get shuttled over to the house. It was raining while we were waiting and even with two shuttles it took over thirty minutes to finally get to the house. I would definitely recommend taking an Uber directly to the house the next time so you don’t have to wait. Even if it wasn’t raining, which was miserable, it’s no fun waiting.
Holiday Gift Guide – Pet Ideas
That’s my dog Domi. Her full name is Daisy Domague from a character played by Jennifer Jason Leigh in the movie Hateful Eight. If you know, you know. I bet you’re wondering how I got myself in this predicament. Well, it all started with the pandemic and I was at home watching all of those sad dog commercials with the abused animals. I have always loved dogs, but I had a long commute to work (an hour) and I knew having a dog was a big responsibility. I didn’t want her to have to be at home for 9 hours plus Monday through Friday and putting her in doggy daycare never entered my mind at that point.
Holiday Gift Guide – Stocking Stuffers
Stockings are my jam, meaning I’m particularly good at coming up with great stocking stuffers. A lot of people are always stumped as to what to put in a stocking and I say anything goes really. Just try to be creative. I tend to go by a few rules if you’re interested. Number one is that of course it’s small enough to fit in a stocking. Number two is that it costs under $10 and even better if it’s under $5. And I know you’re going to say, where do you get anything under $5? There’s plenty of places, you just have to look. Of course, there are some things worth more than $10, like jewelry, but I like to keep the gifts inexpensive but thoughtful.
Designer & Diy’er pumped up on caffeine and willing to create anything. I want to let women know they can do it and if they don’t want to, I will.
