Room Service Atlanta

I know some pretty awesome people…and I don’t say that in a bragging way because I’m sure your roster is filled with wonderful people but I am happy to say that I keep company with some truly remarkable, selfless, goal driven individuals.

One in particular just makes my heart smile at all that she has accomplished. I have mentioned Erika on my blog before but today I come to sing her praises and her work with Room Service Atlanta. Erika and Dayka are the founders of Room Service Atlanta, an Atlanta based organization that calls on local interior designers and brands to donate their time and resources in redecorating spaces within area locations that assist individuals in transitioning to a better life.

This year’s redesign recipient was United Methodist Children’s Home in Decatur, GA. On Thursday, the babies and I headed down to show our support at Room Service Atlanta’s 2012 wrap party at the very drool worthy Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams showroom in Buckhead.

It was really great mingling with the designers and sponsors who took part in the drastic transformation at the center. This is the kind of awesomeness that went down.

I was blown away by the work that was done. Kudos to all of the wonderful interior designers who took out their time, donated their resources and expertise to provide such amazing spaces to deserving people.

My babies and I had a great time networking and meeting new people. I was reminded of how truly important it is to give back to our communities, and I will be in the trenches next year lending a little elbow grease

I’m a Follower- NaBloPoMo or Bust

I’m normally not one for the bandwagon ride, but  I am once again, for the third time,  throwing my name on the NaBloPoMo list. I will be blogging everyday the month of November. I’m sorry.

NaBloPoMo November 2012

I failed my first time in 2010, I made it through in 2011, and we’ll see what 2012 has in store!! So I suppose there will be some vlogs, some nonsense, recipes, and reviews, however my greatest hope is to bring you some valuable content within the next month. I can’t promise, but I’ll try.

Blogging is such an intense hobby…well it is if you want to do it right. So for those of you who think its as easy as sitting down at a computer and typing out a few thoughts , inserting a couple of photos and voila….Nawllllllll, so much more involved.

I am dedicated to becoming a better blogger, content creator and writer so it is for these reasons that I am doing this.

*sways back and forth real thug like rapping…”They ask me what I do and who I do it for”*

Wish me luck….send tweets, FB likes, comments and Instagram love. I live for the motivation!!

 

Thank y’all for reading!

I’m Not Here For This….

Before I get started I forgot that I never did the last installment of my blog awards recognition. The last person that awarded me an award was Laila over at Only Laila. I love Laila she is no nonsense and tells it like it is. Today I was given an award from Legally Chocolat over at Life after the Verdict. She’s an attorney. Doctors and attorneys are those professions that I look at in awe. You have to love folks who have the dedication to such things. Head over and check these ladies out if you aren’t already.

Now..I’m not here for anything below. Why? This situation hits a little close  to home with the whole blended family thing and my little corner of the interwebs is a little more popular these days and being that its Christmas and I’m on my Kris Kringle I’m keeping my opinions to myself. Ya feel me?

So, I get an email from a reader asking my opinion on the follow situation. I told her I would bring it over here for her to read the responses for herself.

Wanna hear it? Here it go.

Well her significant other has a child from a previous relationship. The man is looking to purchase a pretty costly electronic device for the child for Christmas. Cause you’re nosy and want to know what it is…It has an apple on it. Moving on.

She is not agreeing to such because she thinks the device is more suited for an adult and thinks that the child’s mother will gain more benefit from the gift than the child will. The SO’s argument is it’s his child and he wants to buy it and doesn’t care if the mother uses it and thinks she is being messy and that her concerns are not relevant. Welp, there you have it.

Your thoughts? *vanishes*
