This Friday from 5:30-9:30 p.m. it's date night for you and your someone special. No babysitters, no problem!
Let’s take a second and review the “Great Escapes” we have covered for the month of March. The first one was for you and your girlfriends, hanging out and showing your artistic side at Magnolia’s in Lawrenceville. The second was a great family day geocaching, no pressures from everyday life while you are searching for treasures in the great outdoors. Then last week I gave you a suggestion on how to escape for 15 minutes all by yourself with no real planning. So what is for this week you may be asking - it’s easy too. How about a night with that someone special or, if you’d rather, a night all to yourself? No babysitters planned, no problem, you don’t need it this week. The “Great Escape” for this week is from 5:30 until 9:00 p.m. on…

Here are some recipes for a traditional southern New Year's dinner.
If you knew my husband, he would surely tell you a recent "Momma Said" story. A "Momma Said" story is about something my mother tells me (usually something she doesn't intend for me to repeat) and then I repeat it over and over saying, "Well, Momma said ..." These stories typically lead to lots of squirming on my part, but here is one I don't think she would mind me repeating: Momma said that if you eat the right dishes on New Year's Day you will prosper financially in the New Year. Now I don't know about everyone else, but, with the economy in its current state and after my most recent expenditures at the Toys R Us, I plan on doing exactly what Momma says. If you would like lots of dollars and cents in the New Year, take a look at …
