We’re in the throes of the dog days of summer here in Atlanta. It’s so unbearably hot that even Elsa Belle lies around lethargic, pausing her relentless mission to chase down every squirrel, chipmunk and lizard in the yard. While she absolutely loves Frosty Paws, they don’t frequently make it into the shopping buggy. When… Read More

I do have a few other subscriptions (thanks to American Airlines expiring miles to mags), but they pile up before I ever find time to read them. I still love Southern Living’s articles, gardening tips, decor and featured… Read More
