Georgia on My Mind

June 21, 2013 | Travel

Happy Saturday! This weekend we are visiting the Atlanta area with my family. Most of you probably don’t know this, but I lived in the suburbs of Atlanta for nearly seven years as a small child. We came back to do some business and visit with some old friends and are having a great time so far! (Hence why I have been so scarce on social media!)

We did some driving around today, so much has changed since I was here ten years ago. I really enjoyed Suwanee, what a beautiful area!

Tomorrow we have some things planned, and we are looking forward to a great day. I will be back on Sunday and will get back to a normal routine with posting etc. Have a good one!

QOTD: Who all lives in the Atlanta area? Do you like it?

    Hi Heather,

    My sister lives in Atlanta and every time I visit her, she always tour me around to historic and beautiful places. Some places that I already visited are the Atlanta Botanical Garden and Atlanta History Center. It was a great experience. Anyway, Have a nice weekend! 😉

    My dad lived in Roswell for a while and I loved visiting him the week between Christmas and New Years. Unfortunately this Floridian didn’t get to see snow any of those years but I did have fun going to the aquarium and doing other fun touristy things 🙂

    I live about 20 minutes from Suwanee 🙂 I’ve lived in Georgia my whole life and I do love it. Hope you have a nice visit! There’s a cute little local pet shop at the Suwanee town center if you go back…homemade treats and other cute stuff 🙂

    We love in Midtown ATL. It’s awesome! Amazing restaurants and churches! But aside from the traffic 🙁 the hardest part about living in ATL in that you are so far from WDW and the beach, so we are planning a move to Florida ASAP.

    Make sure when you are over there to allocate some time for Trader Joe’s and The Container Store. Two of my favorite places in Atlanta.

    • Heather says

      June 24, 2013 at 6:28 am

      I love the container store! Unfortunately this was just a two day trip with an already jam packed schedule. Next time!

Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponso Snow tubing… indoors… in the Smokies! ❄️⛰️ #sponsored

Pigeon Forge Snow is the perfect family activity no matter the time of year: real snow, comfy temps, and endless winter fun even in the middle of summer. From tubing and snow forts to sweet treats at the candy bar, this is one spot my kid never wants to leave.

Plus, it’s just minutes from Dollywood, the Titanic Museum, and Dolly’s Stampede, so it fits right into any Smoky Mountain trip.

❄️ Save this for your holiday trip to the Smokies, and comment the word Snow and I will send you my exclusive discount code right to your inbox!

So many people I know follow and like posts and st So many people I know follow and like posts and stories from content creators, but when it’s people they know in real life….forget about it. All of the sudden, we just don’t need or deserve the support. We just get lurkers. 💔 

Women, I encourage you in 2026 to find a table where women champion other women. And I encourage all the ladies here to be a girl’s girl. There is room for everyone, and we ALL need a little support, even those that look like they have it all together. 

Let’s commit to helping each other on AND offline. A simple smile, an “I love your dress” or “your kid did great in the school play” or “hang in there, you got this!” Goes a long way. 

I will never understand people going out of their way to intentionally bypass a person online or in real life. People matter. It’s a tough time of year for a lot of people, so let’s all act like the friends we claim to be and be there for each other however we can. ❤️

This one is great for busy folks who want to make a “special” drink without too much fuss. 🎄 

It’s literally just water frozen in the bottom of a glass with some rosemary taped in it. I waited a few hours the poured in some Prosecco and added in edible glitter (you can use multiple colors!) pretty and delicious, and keeps your drink cold! Cheers! 🥂 ❄️
