If you get a plate, you get 3 tenders and two side choices from: ponko rice, brown rice, ponko fries, sweet fries, potato salad, cole slaw, ponko pickles, green beans, or side salad.… Read More »
My 16-year-old son’s best friend died a few months ago. He doesn’t talk much about it with me, and more worrisome, he doesn’t really discuss it with his friends. He said they’re all trying to appear like they’re fine, but they aren’t. It was his friend’s birthday yesterday and there was a celebration at the cemetery.… Read More »

Dunwoody Restaurant Week has wrapped up but I want to encourage you to dine at your favorite local establishments year-round. I know there is a community desire to bring new and different restaurants to Dunwoody, but in order to make that happen, first we have to support the ones we have, to show longevity and prove we are a community that patronizes our restaurants.… Read More »

My friend Kristin (not the author) recommended Magic Hour when we were in Destin during spring break. I picked it up last week and devoured in just a few sittings. I found myself making excuses for reading time….which wasn’t hard since everyone else in my house was preoccupied with the road to the College World Series.… Read More »

I’ve always been curious about the cute little “mini me” cartoon emojis that people sometimes send via text. When my mom (who is in her seventies) sent me a text with a cartoon of herself I realized then and there that I needed to figure this out.
My oldest son recently taught me how to use Snapchat. … Read More »

My hardback version of Bringing Up Boys: Shaping the Next Generation of Men was copyrighted 2001, the year my youngest son was born. I grabbed it from my library today to review something I remembered from this amazing book. I realized when putting it back on the shelf that I’ve had this book for 18 years and it is the parenting book that I most often refer to. … Read More »

When the last school bell rings and my children exit the front doors of DES and into summer, they immediately require sustenance every 15 to 45 minutes. I typically start the summer with the high hopes of fruit kabobs and worksheet bridge books and by July, it’s anything covered in neon orange cheese powder, Popsicles that come in a mesh bag of a 1000 and unlimited WIFI.… Read More »

Well, we all made it to summer and what’s that saying……”The pool/beach will give it whatever body I give it?” That’s my mentality considering most moms should get a patch for just surviving May. I do tend to eat less and lighter, but still maintain this squishy physique with plenty of empty wine calories.… Read More »
