On Wednesday morning, we loaded up the car with the boys and left my parents’ house. My mom and I were heading to the Mart in Atlanta to shop for a couple of projects. I’m looking for Holiday Market decorations for December and my mom is a decorator, so she’s always shopping for clients.
We stopped over in Chattanooga for the night and the boys ran wild in the hotel room. (This is when I recorded the fun interview with Melissa, Kelly, and Beth Anne.) On Thursday morning we got up early and drove to Atlanta. We met my mom’s best friends at the Scott Antique Market, which is one of life’s great experiences!
It’s not the best experience with a double stroller, so my mom and I went and got checked in to our hotel in Atlanta. And then Hudson and Hayes just ran around the hotel room and burned off some energy.
A few hours later, Todd met us at the hotel. It was so so so great to see him after two weeks apart. And Hudson was so excited to see his daddy. And Todd was even more excited that Hudson is now potty trained!
Todd actually drove the boys back home so they don’t all have to endure a weekend of market in Atlanta. I’m already excited to get home to them on Sunday!
My dear friend Nina met us here in Atlanta. I’m so excited to have a few days to hang out with her and catch up. We hit the ground running on Friday morning and our feet are paying for it!
We had a super fun lunch with some of the other blog and Twitter girls. I only have iPhone pictures from lunch.

Tonight we met my dear friends Lyndsey, Callie, and Sarah for supper at JCT Kitchen. Lyndsey and Callie are both so very special to me because we experienced pregnancies together and raising children together. Sarah is such a great, genuine friend and I’m so excited I got to see her on this trip.
Tomorrow and Sunday we’ll just be crossing things off our lists at Market. But, I’m not going to lie, I’m missing my boys. (Yet I’m also enjoying some quiet time in a hotel room.)
Looks like you are having so much fun! Can’t wait to see what you come up with this year for the Holiday Market!
Markeg is so fun, but truly exhausting to the bone. Hope you enjoy it!
I’m super impressed you were able to film that video in the hotel room with the boys around! Have so much fun in Atlanta lady!!
You are a busy girl these days!! All fun things though 🙂 Have a great last day in ATL and drive home safely tomorrow 🙂
It was SO wonderful to see all of you last night! I had an absolute blast and am so glad we were able to squeeze in some catch-up time! xoxoxoxoxo
you’ve had a busy but, fun few days!!!! :o)
Enjoy ATL!!!
Oh it looks like you are having a blast! It’s funny how one minute you are so ready for some “adult time” and the very next when you have it you miss your sweet babies. It’s so great to re-energize with girl friends though so you come home ready to be the best mama. Have fun!
Yum I love JCT! I was in ATL too- first night away from Dell Harper for one of my best friend’s engagement parties. I would have cracked up if we had ran into each other! And HURRAH for HUDSON!
I don’t know what to say about that picture. Most unflattering picture ever of me 🙂 I mean HELLO BOOBIES! Wow! So so so good to see you and catch up and laugh! Miss you friend!
