Those few hours between work and bedtime that we must cram an entire day's worth of quality family time...in between dinner, baths, bedtime stories... it's a mad dash for sure! Here's where I curate flashes of inspiration for food, productivity, creative expression and entertainment. Because if I don't write it down some where - I'll forget!

Tomato heiress makes good...tarts

Calling all Do-Gooders! Want a super easy way to help others, that you can literally do from your phone? Like…right now? Pop over to www.landahandoff.org to help us raise supplies for students heading back to school. One backpack with supplies for an elementary student can cost upwards of $75. With your help, we can assemble enough elements to donate 8 complete backpacks, and every little bit helps. Give what you can, keep the good vibes. We’ll take care of the rest. #landahandoff #northfultoncommunitycharities #bethechange #nfcc

We did it! The #handofftohandsonatl Book Drive has wrapped. Going well beyond our target of 250, the total hand off was 1,353 books. 😳That’s one thousand, three hundred and fifty three books that are already being distributed by way of Hands On Atlanta. Just in time for summer. This is amazing! We appreciate every like, every share, every encouraging word and, of course, every donation! Support came in from all over the country: from Washington state, to Connecticut, Miami, my hometown Gainesville, FL and right here across the Greater Atlanta area. Way to go! We thank you.
