We drive through super funky Normaltown almost every single day that we are in town. It is, hands down, our favorite neighborhood in Athens, Georgia. Ike & Jane Café and Bakery has been on our to-do list since we moved in. Today was the day! And it was an extra fun time to go because they were in the midst of celebrating their Tenth Anniversary, and I never say no to a Birthday Cake Latte! Trillian had a Raspberry Mocha, and Grandma kept it simple with her Hazelnut Mocha. Our drinks were great, but we all agree, the heart of…

If you are looking for sweet and/or savory crepes in a festive atmosphere to satisfy your cravings, Pauley’s Original Crepe Bar in Athens, Georgia is AMAZING! To hit the savory spot, we ordered a Buffalo Chicken and a Chicken Club. And for our sweet spot, Bananas Foster, Strawberry & Nutella, and S’mores! With great quality ingredients, cooked to perfection, and then artfully plated just for you, Pauley’s crepe creations are an Athens Must-Eat!

We took a day away from the grind to hang out with our friends at Nuci’s Space; and then we grabbed a cup of Better-Late-Than-Never Valentine’s-Inspired Jittery Joe’s Goodness! We relaxed on the patio; enjoying the beautiful Georgia weather, people-watching the hustle and bustle on Broad, and sipping away on our Red Velvet Lattes! Happy Late Valentine’s Day to US!

We LOVE coffee and chocolate of ALL kinds, don’t get me wrong. But, we are constantly honing our skills to that of professional level connoisseurs. When we say something is good, and that you should check it out, we mean it! And we want you to trust us! With that being said, Trillian and I experienced our first Brew School as hosted by 1000 Faces Coffee in Athens, Georgia. We were blown away with the absolute professionalism and astounding knowledge of our fabulous Brew School Host, Julie. Julie isn’t just a barista pulling extra hours, and smiling big for the…

We are definitely a family of Baseball Lovers! It is our ultimate goal to get to a home game for every MLB team and fully experience each team’s home ballpark; but we also really enjoy checking out a variety of college teams as well. Today, we caught the University of Georgia Bulldogs taking on the University of Massachusetts Lowell River Hawks. We have a house rule that wherever we are, we root for the Home Team. But, we do have a soft spot for Lowell, Massachusetts, and, of course, anything with the word “River” in it’s name is going to…

The best part of having Athens, Georgia as a home base is all our fabulous neighbors! It’s always a pleasure to work with area non-profit, Nuci’s Space, to help further their mission of making mental health resources, as well as medical resources, more readily available for area artists and musicians that may otherwise find themselves without proper access to such services. Throughout the year, Nuci’s Space holds many fundraising events, dinners, auctions, concerts, and more. We always do our best to support their efforts. And our favorite annual event is the Drive-By Truckers HeAthens Homecoming Pre-Party and Auction. It’s always…

Happy Valentine’s Dinner to Me! I did get to the hotel a little later than anticipated tonight, so I had to get my dinner as a to-go order. It might not be plated as it would be in a dine-in experience, but I thought it was still pretty! And it was definitely delicious! Short of getting soy sauce on the sheets, sushi and Big Bang Theory is an excellent combination for a Mother’s Night Out!
