Books of the Week: The Ten Beach Road Series by Wendy Wax


I love this series and the colorful, delightful characters.  Interestingly enough, I’ve been to all of the places that Wendy writes about in this series which makes it so much fun for me!  Wendy and I have become acquainted through a few book events and over spring break she introduced me to a friend of hers in Islamorada so that my hubby and I could detour from the DHS Varsity Baseball trip in Ft.… Read More »

Audra’s Fitness Blog – Entry #5

Please remember that pre-2016 Audra NEVER worked out.  I walked my dog daily but never for long distances or at a swift pace.  I’m busy…dreadfully busy… but taking care of my body and making time for exercise never made it to the top of my priority list.  2016 Audra is  hooked on exercise. I feel great, my clothes fit better, and I’m slowly (but surely) losing all the pounds I gained due to my summer 2015 health issues.  … Read More »

Miracles from Heaven (Filmed in Dunwoody) In theaters today!

“Miracles From Heaven” begins with voice-over narration from Christy Beam (played by Jennifer Garner), a Fort Worth mom who explains that a miracle is defined as an unexpected, positive event that cannot be explained by science. Of course, in reality, that’s only part of the definition.
