Have you ever thought about what would happen if you let your child run freely through the supermarket stocking his or her cart with whatever piqued their interest and taste buds? I have experimented with this on a couple of occasions. The most recent trip was through a big box grocer to shop for a … Continue reading
Restaurants need to be held to a higher standard of food quality for both children and their parents. I believe True Food Kitchen, which recently opened at Lenox Mall in Buckhead, is setting a very high bar. Hopefully, more will follow in its footsteps. Continue reading
It is slightly disconcerting as a mother to hear your 2-year-old son exclaim he “loves buns,” but I have to concur after visiting the recently opened Yum Bunz in West Midtown. And while dim sum is nothing new (it dates back over 2,000 years), I am confident that Yum Bunz will bring dim sum to more of the masses. 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

After my first child, FuegoMundo quickly became my go-to. Although close proximity to home was certainly a factor, the high … 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
I’m willing to bet most normal families plan their activities, and then once done with the fun (or misery, depending on whether your kids are well-rested, or if it is 100 degrees outside, or if they’re coming down with something, etc.) pick a restaurant at which to re-fuel based almost exclusively on convenience.
