Purrfect Holiday Shopping

Good Mews, as many of my Marietta friends know, is local no-kill animal shelter that provides a variety of services for our furry friends and works hard every day to find forever homes for cats ages 3 months to, well, it's impolite to ask. Regardless of age, the friendly felines at Good Mews have a good home while they're in the shelter and they ordinarily thrive when they go home with their new family.


Because Good Mews services so many cats in so many ways they need to constantly fundraise. Of course, Good Mews is always ready to take a direct DONATION. But, if you're looking to get some holiday gifts and decor while supporting Good Mews you have two excellent sites to shop this week.

Remaining Dates Open December 9-10, 15-17

Good Mews' Holiday Décor Market has returned and only has 2 weekends left! Local donators offered up gently used holiday items to sell and help our worthy cause. I went this past weekend for a half hour and the place was packed! I took photos of some items. The inventory is constantly changing. Stop in and see what cute holiday items you can find - and buy. Donations are also being accepted at the register.

Artist Profile - Andy Goldsworthy

Are you an avid hiker, naturalist or just like to sit out on in the fresh air? Or do you simply enjoy beautiful sights? Of course, beauty can be found just about anywhere. Because I am lucky to live in a wooded community I am treated to a daily concert of sights and sounds and no day is the same. The Artist Andy Goldsworthy Source: Kidzworld.com As someone who has always enjoyed nature and art I was thrilled to discover the art of Andy Goldsworthy. Although I've known his work since the mid-nineties he never ceases to enchant me. If you don't know who he is, prepare to be amazed. Goldsworthy is a man who enjoys the colors and textures of nature and presents them in a way you likely have never seen before. And, you don't have to be a nature-lover to appreciate his art.

Delicious Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins

The school year is a good month in if you live in Cobb County, GA. Can you believe it? August has passed so quickly. This also means a month of making lunches and snacks for the kiddos. Store bought items are OK but after awhile they end up tasting the same. For me, they taste like either sugar or salt and maybe a little something else. When I have the time I prefer to do homemade snacks. Something that tastes like real food because it is - real flavor, real texture, really yummy. Muffins are my go-to homemade snack and can often make a great breakfast, too. They bake quickly and it's so easy to include healthy ingredients. I'm not the type to hide them. My son is not the best eater but I make sure he knows all the goodness that he does eat. The muffins will take you about 10 minutes to make and then 25 to bake. The ingredients are pantry staples. You may be able to make them today! Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Muffins Makes 12 Muffins Ingredients 1 1/...

Crafty Garden Ideas

I am a so-so gardener. I love the results but often don't want to put in the work. So, I am always looking for easy garden projects that will give me a lot of visual impact. But, I don't want them to break the bank or take up the whole weekend. An afternoon now and again is fine and, quite honestly, it does feel really good to play in the dirt. Photo Source: Empress of Dirt Crafty In Cobb is on Pinterest and I've made a board of Garden Ideas that could be really enjoyable to do. Hope you like!
