Fall is finally here!! We are gearing up for the best months to come and I could not be more excited! Of course, I love May because of my birthday (and the pollen starts to decrease, ha!), but I just love cold weather so much and I love the holidays even more. A few of you requested to see more "life posts" and "behind the scenes" from me, so I wanted to start it off with a post where I am just talking about random exciting fall (and winter) things. Here are a few things that I am excited ...
Atlanta Dining Guide: Best Restaurants For Business Dining
Over the past couple of years, I have visited places such as Florence, New Orleans, San Francisco, Amsterdam, Sonoma County, and so many other places around the world and I have written many articles on the best places to eat in those cities.

In this Atlanta Dining Guide, we will focus on the best restaurants in Atlanta ...
4 Ways To Prevent House Fires

So, today, I want to come at you all with a post on essential items ...
Ian’s Surprise Birthday Trip To New Orleans
I like to go big or go home when it comes to birthdays: I believe that they deserve to be celebrated, and I go out of my way to celebrate them with the people I love. So, when Ian and I got back from our trip to San Francisco, Carmel-by-the-Sea, Sonoma County, and Calistoga this past April, I immediately started to plan Ian's surprise birthday trip to New Orleans! I visited New Orleans two years ago on a bachelorette trip and I was so excited to get to go back again and actually do the things ...
