As I was walking out the door this morning, I took a look in the mirror and giggled. To the untrained eye, I looked like an ordinary mom. To the trained eye, however, I had blogger written all over me. Here’s a shout out to my online (and some real life) buddies whose wares adorn [...]

Classical Conversations of Cumming, Georgia

June 29, 2010

My mother passed away six years ago, on my 38th birthday. Two years later, missing her was the impetus for starting my blog. During all but a short period of my life I lived close to her, so there’s no stash of cross-country letters. My treasures are handwritten recipe cards with instructions like: She would [...]

June 15, 2010

My family and I were invited by One2One Network and the WNBA (Women’s National Basketball Association) to attend Sunday afternoon’s contest between the Atlanta Dream and the San Antonio Silver Stars at Philips Arena. It was our first WNBA game, and to be perfectly honest, my husband and I really didn’t know what to expect. [...]
