Nothing says the beginning of summer like berry stained fingers and lips. So now that school is coming to an end, head down South to McDonough for a fun-filled afternoon of strawberry picking at Southern Belle Farm. My Little Foodies took delight in roaming the fields eating their weight in strawberries that u-pick for $12 … Continue reading
Tis the season, and my Facebook feed is chock full of kiddos decked in their cutest plaids, apples in hand. October is the perfect month for apple picking, and where better to apple pick than in North Georgia. While Ellijay has the most apple orchards, Blue Ridge is home to the largest orchard in Georgia. … Continue reading
There’s no doubt that little ones love to play in their imaginary worlds. For my son, Little A, that means pretending to be a little chef in his cherry-red, pint-sized kitchen. A ninja or warrior adventure gets my daughter, Big A’s creative juices flowing. And parents caught up in the exhausting chaos of work, end-of-the-year … Continue reading
am not a homebody, and admit that I suffer from a bit of shpilkes on the weekends. I find myself constantly running around town trying to engage My Little Foodies with different activities. I thought My Little Foodies—particularly Big A—would be entertained by a behind the scenes tour of their (and almost every kid’s) most beloved treat! Continue reading

Well, unless you are the consummate planner … Continue reading

For a while now, I’ve kept her from nagging me about when dinner will be ready by tasking her with an age-appropriate activity in the kitchen, and it certainly beats simply turning on the TV to keep her occupied. As a bonus, such activities serve as fun, quality time … Continue reading
Let’s face it, road trips with kids are an entirely different experience than the fun-filled adventures I remember from college through pre-kid marriage. Blasting Bon Jovi has been replaced with whimsical remixes of nursery rhymes on repeat play, and incessant requests for a potty stop (usually 10 minutes after the previous one). Deep philosophical conversations … Continue reading
If the very mention of chocolate makes your child grin as wide as mine does, than consider organizing an outing with friends, or even a birthday party, at Chamberlain’s Chocolate Factory. Big A and her friends were truly kids in a candy store (ha..couldn’t help myself) on our afternoon play date. While creating and indulging … Continue reading
Led by a professional chef and the cooking school’s assistants, the kids were outfitted in little aprons and dish towels like they were on the line at some Michelin 3-star restaurant for this “Dad and Me: In the Kitchen” class. The kitchen is every person’s dream, whether you cook or not: massive work spaces with gorgeous finishes, multiple top-of-the line ovens, and every kitchen tool you have pinned on “Dream Kitchen” for your Pinterest page.
