Located smack dab in the middle of Brookhaven, you are guaranteed to find a warm welcome full of Southern hospitality and good food at Dixie Q in Atlanta, Georgia. Living in the South, it is pretty easy to find good BBQ, but Dixie Q sets the bar high. In fact, from our one-time experience at Dixie Q, both Ian and I agreed that they definitely have some of the best BBQ in Atlanta. It's no wonder that Atlanta Magazine named it as one of the top ten BBQ joints in Atlanta! According to their ...
6 Ways To Show Your Dog Love
This post was created in partnership with Espree® Oral Care Gel. I received complimentary products and compensation to facilitate my review, but all opinions within are my own. Keep reading to find out 6 ways to show your dog love! Before we adopted Payton and Dakota, I never really understood that you could have such a strong bond with a dog.

Pesce e Riso: A San Francisco Gem
Sitting right by China Town in San Francisco's North Beach neighborhood, Pesce e Riso was a gem just waiting to be found. Chef Lin, originally a sushi chef, fell in love with Italian cuisine while training with a chef in Tuscany.

Alcatraz Tours in San Francisco

After our long flight, we had about 2.5 hours to get from the airport to a hotel to drop off our luggage for the day, to lunch (we ate at Hog Island and it was amazing!), and then to the dock to head out to Alcatraz.

If you are looking for a memorable and educational way to spend a day in San Francisco, I highly ...
Keto-Friendly Crispy Beef Over Cauliflower Rice
As you all know, I'm not a huge fan of the keto diet. It does not work for everyone (definitely not for me!), but we do eat quite a few Keto-friendly dinner recipes around these woods because Ian has been following the diet for some time now...and it works for him! In fact, he has lost over 30 pounds since April, while also gaining muscle. I saw an Asian-inspired beef recipe on Pinterest a while back and decided to use it as inspiration to create my own recipe that fit Ian's diet needs, so that ...
A Couples Spa Day in Calistoga
A couples spa day in Calistoga isn’t complete without a rejuvenating mud and mineral bath at Baths at Roman Spa, located downtown. Famed for its "truly authentic spa experience in the beautiful Napa Valley," I knew that Baths at Roman Spa was the ideal place to visit during my trip to Calistoga with my husband, Ian. This local tradition is supposed to remove toxins, promote relaxation, and bring relief to your joints and muscles, so it was the perfect finish to our wine country ...
