Beaches Close To Atlanta
My family is definitely more beach life than snow and ski now and we are always looking at beaches under a six hour drive from the Atlanta area. Hilton Head is our go to as the convenience is tough to beat. We visited over Memorial Day and have more details and updates from my last post.

In Folly Field our adorable one bedroom with bunk beds in the hallway was perfect for the three…
Renovating Your Home While On Vacation
If you’ve always wanted to get your home renovated, but one of the things stopping you is how much it’s going to uproot your life, you should consider getting away from it while all of the work is being done.

You Wouldn’t Leave Your Cats Unattended, So Why Forget Your Home When You Travel?
As well as focusing on what you’ll get up to on your trip itself, vacation planning should cater to every aspect of your time away, including what happens back home when you aren’t around.

Have Baby, Will Travel
Little man’s first trip was to North Carolina when he was eleven weeks old. Since he was not vaccinated I cleared with my pediatrician prior to traveling. He stated as long as you are not passing him around the plane and no one back home was sick he would be fine. (Note he is a breastfed baby therefore receives passive immunity) To say I was nervous is an understatement! I had never flown with a lil one and I was getting ready to take a crash course. His second flight to California will be this week at now six months old! After researching several airlines, I learned that a seat…
Naples Florida, The Perfect Couples Getaway
We recently visited Naples for a very short weekend for my birthday. While it was not what I was expecting, I did enjoy the area and the food!After a super short flight from ATL we reached our destination RSW airport. As far as airports go this is one of my favorites! It is easy to get in and out of and the car rentals are on site. It took us about 35 minutes to get to our resort and from there the relaxation was on! We stayed at the Bellasera Resort. The lobby is beautiful and the pools are nice, but I am not sure I would consider this a…

Hilton Head Island! Our Go To Beach!
Hilton Head Island is quickly becoming our go to beach. The drive is under five hours from the Atlanta area and our four year old does well. Of course we still get “Are we there yet?” but that is any trip over thirty minutes. The beaches are amazing, the food spectacular and the island offers several shopping and other activities to keep you busy. This is our second time going to HHI and we stayed in the Coligny Area. “The Mama Life is reader-supported.
