Just a Peek: Engelheim Vineyards
My family loves to go up to Ellijay when it’s a beautiful weekend. There are cute little shops to visit, plenty of orchards, and, of course, wineries. There are wineries in abundance, but I’ve only ever been to one (and for a very good reason): Engelheim. I’m not sure why my parents stopped by the […]

Don’t worry, procrastinators. Mother’s Day isn’t until Sunday (May 13th). If you’re counting, that’s just six days away. I’m here to help with the perfect gift guide for moms.

I feel nothing.
Do I have your attention? Let me clarify. I feel nothing, and it feels GREAT. Still confused? I’ll explain. I’m currently in the process of packing up my apartment and moving to a new place in a new city. When I moved into my current apartment, it was out of necessity. I had just broken […]

A Dream Come True: Rent
Some time in 2005: We were at dance rehearsals. One of my fellow dancers gathered us around and said that we just had to listen to this girl sing this song. It was Idina Menzel as Elphaba singing “No Good Deed” from Wicked. That was the start of my theatre obsession. From there, Idina led me […]
Bingeworthy Favorites
I live by myself, so I like to have “noise” on. In an effort to save some money, I don’t have cable. Me watching television consists of Netflix or any movies I have on hand. Oh, and Amazon Video, though I haven’t tried that too much. I’m a big multitasker while television is on. I’ll […]
Adventure: Ellijay, GA

It’s super adorable for a small town, and I would definitely recommend it. Our first stop was at the Panorama Orchards store. A local […]
