The last time I posted a Local Guide was last year right after Halloween! I miss sharing fun events and things to do around town. And I miss going to fun events even more!
If you do decide to venture out this weekend, make sure to be safe and wear a mask.
A few weekends ago we were invited to stay at the most beautiful rental home – Antlers Ridge Lodge! It was so wonderful to get away for a little bit and relax. Antlers Ridge Lodge is full of everything we needed for a few days away – like two fully stocked coffee bars, tons of board games and puzzles, huge 4k smart TVs, and beds that felt like sleeping on clouds! It really is the perfect getaway in North Georgia!
And the views! Who wouldn’t want to enjoy their morning coffee and cinnamon rolls while looking at this gorgeous view?!
Happy Friday! I hope you all had a great Halloween. If you’re looking for something fun to do this weekend, you’ve come to the right place. Check out my Local Guide – Things to Check Out Around Atlanta Vol. 8!

In Georgia, more than 20 percent of children are hungry. Beech-Nut is partnering with No Kid Hungry because all kids should have access to real food. Join us at the Fernbank Museum – The Giant Screen Theater on Sunday, November 10th from 7 p.m. to 8:45 p.m. for Beech-Nut’s Million Meals at the Movies – a FREE family movie night fundraiser and storytime, benefitting No Kid Hungry. You’ll also have the opportunity to learn more about food insecurity and how every dollar donated to No Kid Hungry helps hungry children across the United States. Register to reserve your space and to make a tax-deductible donation to No Kid Hungry. You can also donate on No Kid Hungry’s web site by clicking here.
Pictures with Santa should be fun! There is nothing like driving all over Atlanta only to end up standing in a long line surrounded by grumpy toddlers and parents to make you go Grinch. Skip the expensive holiday mini sessions and the trendy Santa photos that all look the same. Instead, visit Santa while enjoying cookies, crafts, coffee, music, merrymaking, and miscellaneous Christmas magic! This year, walk into a Winter Wonderland in historic downtown Tucker and get the kind of holiday photo you really want! Click here to book a session!
Happy Friday! What are your plans for the weekend? It finally feels like fall here in Georgia, and I’m all about the lower temperatures! Yesterday we spent 4.5 hours at the playground.

Ghostly Gatherings at Fernbank
Stone Mountain Park Pumpkin Festival
Pumpkin Patch at Jaemor Farms (Click here to see our visit to Jaemor from last year!)
