Little Shop of Stories in Decatur is one of my favorite book stores. How could it not be? Its staff manages to persuade some of my kids’ (and my) favorite authors to come to the area. At the Decatur Book Festival, those authors included Kate DiCamillo (Because of Winn Dixie & Tale of Despereaux), Jon [...]

I can’t wait to see this one: From November 15-21, Unity North Atlanta Church in Marietta will host Tibetan monks. Monks, in general, fascinate me because of their ability to be still & quiet. I have neither the patience nor the temperament for either.

I mentioned this when I posted about the free summer music mix that Stanford University is giving away on its iTunes U page, but it bears repeating: I’m a geek, and this is one of the coolest freebies around.
On iTunes U, you can download all sorts of free materials—lectures, PBS shows, music…the possibilities are endless. [...]

The Atlanta Botanical Garden is located at 1345 Piedmont [...]

UPDATE–Not enough people RSVP’d for the event, so it was canceled.
My life can best be described as organized chaos. I know when & where everything is, but if someone else needs to find it, good luck. Despite (or maybe because?) of my obvious deficiencies, I adore all things related to organizing, from storage cubes to [...]
