Happy Thursday friends,

I am so glad the weekend is approaching. I need some good rest and also some deep cleaning of the house. As much as I say that, we may also be heading back to NJ so who knows when the cleaning will happen haha. My foot has had a rough week. We went to the doctor and I tore two of the main ligaments on my foot which is why I am feeling so much pain. My whole foot is so swollen and purple. I seriously can’t wait to get back to normal. I miss the gym so much.

I am now in the process of planning the rest of 2021 and we have so many changes coming up. First major change is that my husband and I aren’t renewing our lease in October. Which is insane because we have two months until we have to move out and have no plan. I am kind of excited to move closer to the downtown area and have less of a commute to work. I am also excited to just be closer to all the great towns in the perimeter part of Atlanta. So wish us luck trying to find a new home or possibly new adventure?

I am back to share another local ATL business. Ever wonder how plaques or business lettering is made? East point foundry is here to help with all your custom needs.

I love supporting and blogging about local businesses. It’s important to shop local and small businesses. Supporting a small business supports a local family that is trying to live their dream of owning their business. What are some local businesses you have shopped at lately?
