Sweet Summertime

Can you believe we're halfway through August already?? Summer flew by. I know that's one of those things you say every year, but.. seriously! The thought of fall weather and sweaters and boots makes me cringe right now. Ask me again in a week and I may have changed my mind, but right now I'm grasping onto sweet summertime as tightly as I can.

Activities include, but are not limited to:

Wearing sundress
Catching up on my reading list by the pool
Spending time at the park
Eating my favorite popsicles
Fresh fruit and berries
Sunshine.. lots and lots of sunshine
Music and beer festivals
Baseball games

What do you think? Am I crazy for preferring a 90 degree day over a balmy 75 degrees? Are you holding onto the last few weeks of summertime, or are you ready to start pulling fall clothes out of the closet?

Here's to the Old Try

Old Try is a print shop, run by two Southerners relocated to Boston, who make exquisite prints that speak to the heart. 

Like they say, you can take a person out of the South, but you can't take the South out of a person. 

"When we are lost and astray, thunder rolls and the south wind blows guiding us back home."

"There exist two Souths below the Mason-Dixon. One is the place of history, of the county and the proud families and the exploited slaves. The other is a place of the future, of the city and tomorrow, of the growing minority prominence and the exportation of culture to the rest of America. Two Souths, both right and wrong in their own ways, but both in existence since the Civil War, and in my belief, both will live always. It’s our legacy and our tormented soul, and it’s what we run from and run towards with equal conviction."

"Here's to taking a change and seeing where it takes us. Here's to the Old Try."

I highly recommend checking out their online store!

Come Run, Come All

Monday, July 4th, 2011

Today is the 41st consecutive annual Peachtree Road Race, the largest 10k in the world...

with a total of 60,000 runners and 150,000 spectators, right in the heart of Buckhead...

This will be my first time running, my brother's 2nd, and my dad's 15th...

Collectively, the runners will burn 34 million calories, and drink 120,000 gallons of water...

Get outside, enjoy the time with your friends and family, and celebrate today! 

Happy Fourth :)

That Sweet, Sweet Southern Moon..

Georgia clay, Georgia peaches.. whatever comes to mind when you think of the capital of the south, you can't deny that there is something special about this place.

Home Sweet Georgia on my mind!

P.S. - That Georgia On My Mind print can be purchased here - I ordered mine last week, can't wait to get it!!

I am going to start playing the lottery every day for the sole purpose of winning this apartment in Paris..

 Oh my goodness, I die. Just die.

And while I'm at it, winning millions of dollars, I'll also take this house in Buckhead (which just so happens to be about a mile from where I live)..
