I’ve always been a fan of a great at-home bar. I strongly believe it’s a must-learn life skill to mix up classic cocktails, and as an avid host, it’s important to provide an array...
Looking back on Easter as a child, I remember how excited I was to dig through my Easter basket. Full of chocolate bunnies, malt ball Easter eggs, Peeps, golden coins, and my favorite Cadbury...
Lets be honest, salads can be boring. So I’m always trying to think outside of the box to come up with salad recipes that I’ll thoroughly enjoy, but are beyond easy to make. Enter...

To say the WOM team is looking forward to spring and summer is a major understatement. With warmer temps also comes a few wonderful events on our calendar, in particular The Southern C Summit. Held by The Southern Coterie in downtown Charleston, this three-day event encourages attendees to connect, collaborate and create in a niche environment with like-minded creatives. Along with engaging educational sessions and panel discussions with branding, marketing and social media leaders, the summit offers evening events and informal gatherings to truly encourage meaningful conversations in a fun and intimate setting.
This year I couldn’t be more thrilled and honored to be among a killerlineup of presenters. I’ll be sharing my insights on social media, and joining some major heavy hitters such as Robert Lelux from Domino Magazine, Eddie Ross from Better Homes and Gardens, and Tori Mellott from Traditional Home, just to name a few.
If you’re a passionate business owner, maker or doer, we’d love to see you there! Truly, MKR
Just an hour outside of Atlanta lies a city that feels a whole world away, Athens. Best known as the home of the University of Georgia Bull Dawgs, but as I was about to quickly find out Athens is not just about Saturday football games. Athens is a community, a tightly knit one at that. Athens is a community filled with local proprietors that have been open for generations, food that rivals that of any metro market, emerging artists in every shape and form, and families where parents do the daily commute to Atlanta just to raise their children in a place they feel is home. This I all knew from hearing friends speak passionately about the town, but I was excited to experience it for myself and see the things to do in Athens, Georgia.
First stop (per everyone’s suggestions on Instagram), Last Resort. A restaurant that has been serving locals for decades. The food was fantastic and better yet cheap. I noshed on a southwestern salad and the best grilled okra I’d had since being down south, Kathryn the grilled vegetable pasta a staple from her days as a Dawg. We washed it all down with some rose of course and cake which was worth the hype. A quick walk up the street we met Cheri and friends at Heery’s Closet to do a little shopping and attend the Empire State Finery trunk show. From Tibi (a local Athens girl herself) to Tory, Joie and Theodosia I quickly understood why Heery’s was your best bet when it came to shopping local. I snagged another ESF piece for my collection and even though the temperatures were in the 90’s I couldn’t resist this perfect Vince cashmere for fall.
