HOTlanta in pictures

I forgot my camera and didn't get to snap many pictures on our mini weekend getaway...
I did have my phone and snapped some on my stepmom's phone. We had a amazing time and can't wait for them to visit.

Here's what I snapped.

I looked back at one point in the trip and this is what I saw. So serious and my poor Roman complained of crickets (a crook) in his neck...


Swimming in the grand's pool (I was sipping a glass of wine and catching up with dear old dad)

Picture with PaPa Art  and G'ma Dot before we went bowling!


 Sure beats playing it on the Wii!! 

G'Ma Dot knows how much I love farmer's markets! She brought me to this one and boy I ran into things I have never seen before.

Sweet avocados?



and of course a little shopping...


On the way home we stopped at this cute little store. I had to get some Georgia peaches, raw peanuts, praline pecans  and peach cider.

We had such an amazing time. We relaxed and ate to our hearts content. The best part we spent quality time with my dad and stepmom.

HAPPY Tuesday

Back to School: Boys Fall Fashion













Suspenders, check. Grandpa sweater, check. Slim jeans, check.

What eye candy.
My big boy starts his first day of Kindergarten next Thursday.
I have gotten most of Tre's back to school shopping done. These pictures are such inspiration!
I still need to get him a  hip scarf and a dapper coat.

What key pieces are you purchasing for the Fall/Back to School?
