You're Invited: Charcuterie with Coton Colors Atlanta


 What is your charcuterie style? Do you have favorite cheeses you always use? Go to accoutrements? Dips that are always a huge hit? Or do you have no clue and just throw things together? 

I tend to belong in the latter category. 

I love a good charcuterie board, but often just "wing it". I know how to make it pretty, but when it comes to the perfect pairings, or the best cheese combos...I'm lost. 

That's why I am so excited to attend Coton Colors Charcuterie Event later this week at their Atlanta Flagship store! And I want to see some familiar faces, so hopefully a few of you can join me too! 



YOU'RE INVITED!!

When: Thursday, October 14th, 2021

COTON COLORS CHARCUTERIE BOARDS, ACCESSORIES & MORE! 

A few weeks ago, Carrie Beth and I did a little shopping at the Coton Colors Atlanta Flagship store and met the owner and her wonderful staff. We swooned over all the amazing home decor and gift items they have in stock, and were blown away by their customer service. They strive to make sure you leave their store feeling like you got the best experience ever! 


And their charcuterie board section is not to be ignored! We shared the amazing selection they have in stock - so many board sizes, patterns, and coordinating accessory options! So whether you are a charcuterie pro - or rookie - they know how to help you make it look good!


Seriously, they have the most adorable accessories. No one will care if you meats and cheeses don't coordinate. They'll be too busy giving all the heart eyes to this adorable Hedge Hog Tooth Pick Holder. 


One of our favorite things about the store was that it also carried local and artisan accoutrements to help inspire you to create the perfect charcuterie board. We love when you can help support local businesses while one stop shopping - it's a win for everyone! 


Stay tuned! We are looking forward to sharing what we learn at the event, what tips we can bring home with us with the upcoming holiday seas, and a few behind the scenes peeks at what we experience during the event. 

Hope to see you there!

Super Bowl Weekend in Atlanta

I think almost a full week later I have finally recovered from Super Bowl Weekend here in Atlanta.  We were lucky enough to get to attend the big game and loved the entire weekend.


It started off on Friday afternoon when we made our way downtown to check into our hotel.  Even though it was in our home city, I was really happy that we had a place to stay.  Traffic was crazy getting in and out of the city and just around in general.  We were at The American Hotel and it was right downtown so we could walk to everything! 


We went to a delicious dinner at Morton's Steakhouse and then got to see Imagine Dragons at the Tabernacle.  It was such a great venue for a concert and so small and intimate. It was nice to be able to see everything up close and they put on a great show!



Friday night I wore my favorite leggings and this awesome faux fur vest that I have shared before. 


On Saturday we went to came home to do some stuff with the kids and then went back downtown Saturday night for the Cardi B and Bruno Mars concert.  


We were in the Atlanta Social area and it was super nice VIP section. 


There was quite a bit of excitement before the concert began when we sat down with some friends of ours and they pointed over to who they thought was Lady Gaga.  I about lost my mind. I'm a huge Lady Gaga fan!  When I saw her thought I just wasn't sure. I asked all of our Instagram followers on our story and the majority of them thought it was her, too. She was in a separate section, had security with her and everything. 


So then when she got up to go to the bathroom I saw her face to face and realized that it wasn't her, but we knew the guy she was with did have to be someone famous.  The security and body guards were actually with him!  


I texted the pic to a few friends and put it on our story and sure enough, within a few minutes we had an answer. It was recording artist named Maluma. Never heard of him myself, but still fun entertainment before the concert began for us to fan over. 


Cardi B played first and then next up was Bruno Mars. He was amazing and put on such a great show. Lots of dancing, which I loved!


We slept in on Sunday morning and then had brunch to fuel us for the rest of the day.


My foot had really been bothering me all weekend so I decided to dress for comfort. I knew that we would be walking quite a distance from the hotel to the stadium and be on our feet a lot of the day.


We had a pre-party tailgate to attend and got to see the Patriot's cheerleaders.  I wasn't really cheering for the Patriots, but I love all cheerleaders so got a picture with them and an autographed poster for my daughter that cheers.  


Walking through downtown to the stadium was exciting, scary, crazy and full of excitement.  There were people EVERYWHERE.  People just hanging out and wanting to be a part of the action. 



Once we got in the stadium and found our seats I looked up and was amazed!  I had been in Mercedes Benz Stadium a lot of times and never seen the roof open!  


They had it open so that we could see the fly over during the national anthem.  


It was such a quick moment, but so very cool to see. 


I sort of wish they had left the roof open, but as soon as it was over I looked up and it was closed.  


The first half of the game was Boring with a capital B.  But when it was time for the half-time show we were pretty pumped! 


I heard a lot of criticism on the radio and social media the next day.  However, in person it was a great show and very entertaining.  


Overall it was a great night and we were so thankful that we got to attend.  I always have to stop myself and just take it all in because it is a surreal experience.

Super Bowl Weekend Is HERE

This post is sponsored by Moroch Partners. All thoughts and opinions are our own! 

Super Bowl weekend is here!!!  We are so excited to be able to take part in a lot of the fun Super Bowl festivities this weekend and having it all in our backyard makes it that much better!  



I was lucky enough to go to my first Super Bowl a few years ago in San Fransisco and then again in Houston.  There is something special about being in the heart of these cities and being surrounded by all of the excitement.  Seeing the city we love and the one we call home be able to host the big event is something I'm thrilled to be able to be a part of.  


Buildings are wrapped, hotels are packed and Centennial Olympic Park has been transformed into Super Bowl Live.



There are people everywhere and it is completely free to enter!  It is filled with different exhibits, performers, athletes and and sculptures. 



We checked out the Deion Sanders sculpture by New York artist, Michael Murphy. He was commissioned to design the piece that represents the amazing Deion Sanders from two different perspectives.  Depending on how you look at it you can see the football player from one angle and the baseball player from another angle.  


I grew up cheering for the Braves and the Falcons and watching athletes like Deion Sanders.  I find his story of playing both sports professionally  so impressive.  ESPN has introduced their new 30 for 30 film, “Deion’s Double Play.” The film takes viewers back to October of 1992 when Sanders attempted to play a pro football game and a baseball game in the same day. In different cities.  I mean, I am in charge of transportation of athletes in our household and I know how tricky those logistics can be.  Can you even imagine getting someone from one city to a completely different one for professional sports?!? You can learn more about the film HERE. 

Be sure to check back next week and I’ll be sharing all about the Super Bowl fun!
