I’ve known Alan Mothner, the CEO of Spruill Center for the Arts, since our kids played Little League baseball at Murphey Candler park and I’ve lived in Dunwoody since 2002 but I’ve never taken an art class at Spruill! Well, until last week that is….
Alan invited Peggy, Lauren, their daughters, and me to a jewelry making class taught by Amy Gresens. … Read More »

I can not really pinpoint why, but I haven’t been reading much lately. However, I think I’m getting a message from above to pick up my Kindle or even a real book. I’m seeing so many emails, Facebook posts, app alerts and magazine articles about books to read. … Read More »

I have been so very fortunate to have been given several opportunities lately to visit local businesses and participate in fun programs that are still “social-distance friendly”. Last week was no exception. This time, Peggy and I decided to take my hubby with us! We laughed, learned, laughed more, chopped, laughed, sauteed, sneaked bites of Manchego cheese, laughed, cooked, ate and laughed even more!… Read More »
Note from Audra:
Dunwoody Baptist Church was purposely built on a busy corner and they have been working hard for over a year to “plant a tree for future generations to sit in the shade”. Many Dunwoodians attend church at DBC but even more play ball there, take music lessons there, attend preschool there etc. But EVEN MORE ride by DBC every day and have probably been wondering what’s going on with the construction!… Read More »

Do y’all remember the charming boutique Cutie Pies that used to be in Dunwoody Village? They carried the most adorable children’s clothing. Who could forget when they offered Easter Portraits with baby ducklings?! Sadly Cutie Pies closed in the summer of 2014 so the owners could focus on their family.… Read More »

My ties to Karen Cannon Realtors run deep. Foodie Patty and Karen were Branches neighborhood girlfriends. I believe I actually first met Karen at Patty’s 40th birthday party. Patty would have been 54 this year. Polly Frederick is one of Karen’s top agents and has been one of my best friends since we were pregnant with our now almost twenty-year-olds! … Read More »

I’ve been helping a lot of ELIGIBLE friends and family members sign up for their Covid Vaccines in both Alabama and Georgia. Through this process I’ve learned that signing up through Walmart is the EASIEST way I’ve been able to get appointments for my people.
So…I thought I’d share my knowledge with everyone…

Visiting so many businesses lately has reminded me of my days in International Sales for AT&T. I had forgotten how much I love learning about small businesses and their owners/entrepreneurs. I will admit though that it is a little more fun knowing I do not have to close a sale to meet my quota at the end of these friendly AHA meetings!… Read More »

Update: I just realized I failed to mention the amazing Liz Green. She was so wonderful to me and my family when I had preschoolers at DBP and her daughter Candace even taught my youngest in the 4 year old class! Liz was out of the office on the date of my tour but she was the person who spear headed the science lab and carefully chose the animals and everything to include in it.… Read More »

I will admit that ice-cream is not one of my weaknesses. I like it but I can easily do without it. However, my hubby is ADDICTED to ice-cream. So my oldest and I were getting ready to leave TGM and he decided to see if he could find a new ice-cream place to grab some ice-cream for Dad. … Read More »

When I suggested we try the new location of The General Muir (TGM), he was immediately all in. Both of us have been to the Emory location and to their West Egg Cafe in Westside and love their food. … Read More »

If you are looking for an uplifting movie to watch with your family I’d like to recommend GREATER. It’s a four year old movie that I’ve never heard of and stumbled upon via Netflix. My hubby and I watched it Monday and have talked about it every day since!… Read More »

This past summer my husband and I were walking off our Hobnob lunch by causally window shopping in the Perimeter Place development. The skies unexpectedly opened and POURED rain, so we dashed into Jewelry Artisans for cover. Neither of us had ever been there. I am typically a more costume jewelry kind of gal, but I happened to be in the market for a new wedding ring. … Read More »
