stone mountain, from a new perspective.

Posted on June 14, 2025July 12, 2025by sarah

in an effort to meet some local outdoorsy folk, and maybe learn about some cool local-ish hikes, i recently joined a local hiking group. it took a minute for my schedule to allow me to register for a group hike, but i was finally able to join them on a trip to stone mountain. as […]

a very simple last minute lego cake.

Posted on June 13, 2025July 12, 2025by sarah

once a year, my pal kelley texts me at the last minute, asking if there’s any way i can make a cake for her tiniest offspring, davis. it’s usually prefaced with a bunch of acknowledgements that it’s asking a lot, that she knows it’s short notice, and that she fully expects there’s no way i […]

the end of elementary….

Posted on May 22, 2025June 17, 2025by sarah

the last lidkid, hazelnut, is done with elementary school. our k-5 years were pretty non-traditional… a few years of public school at two different elementary schools for ike, followed by several years of road school and home school for all three kiddos. but, the final three years of elementary school for hazel were spent at […]

impromptu hike with hp

Posted on May 20, 2025July 12, 2025by sarah

when your one and only local hike friend asks if you can go on a spontaneous-ish hiking trip, you make it happen. (it wasn’t that hard, actually, i don’t have that much going on). heather and i had been to elk knob a year or so ago, but it was in the winter and super […]

Posted on May 8, 2025July 12, 2025by sarah
