Cupcake Bakeries in Atlanta.. yum!

Atlanta Moms Edition, , , ,

Atlanta Cupcake Bakery

Did you know that there are lots of Cupcake Bakeries in and around Atlanta?  I didn’t until I started adding them to a new guide on AtlantaMoms.com titled none other than.. Cupcake Bakeries.

I get emails from moms all of the time asking where the best place to have a child’s birthday party is, who the best magician in Atlanta is, and where they should by a birthday cake.  While I can’t vouch for every birthday party place or magician in Atlanta I have no problem buying cupcakes from Cupcake Bakeries in Atlanta to try them out.. over time of course.

Check out the new AtlantaMoms.com Cupcake Bakeries guide featuring the likes of Lenox Cupcakes and The Atlanta Cupcake Factory.

Update: Even more Cupcake Bakeries added to our list!

Madelyn’s swimming like a fish in the lake!

Atlanta Moms Edition, Orlando Edition, , ,

I am so relieved that Madelyn is actually swimming now.  She’s 4 years old and has been taking swim lessons at Aqua Tots in Woodstock, GA for about a year now.  You can tell now that she’s very confident in the water. I used to be very nervous when we would swim in the lake when we vacation in Florida (no alligators!), but now I’m more relaxed knowing that Madelyn can come back to the surface if she goes under and she can swim a good distance if needed… and just for fun.
I used to not let her more than 2 feet away from me and it was very hard for me to let her go in the lake or pool without ‘swimmies’ on but at Aqua Tots they don’t allow the kids to use ‘swimmies’ so they learn not to rely on them I guess. Anyway.. check out this video of Madelyn, my little fishy.
