Create your own or order “bad call” bricks, foam bricks to throw at the television whenever a bad call is made
If your guests are rooting for different teams, make a line with tape to divide the room! It can divide the couch too
Pick up snacks (or have your guests bring some) along with a huge sub sandwich to cut up for everyone!
Keep a large cooler in the television room with different kinds of beer. No one likes running to the fridge mid-game.

Atlanta and Roswell Are the Best for Dinner and a Movie!

Jennifer Brancaccio — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:31:56 +0000

It’s finally feeling like winter here in Roswell and around Willeo Creek Apartments. Why stay cooped up inside the house slaving in the kitchen? Call your friends or gather your family to head out for a movie and dinner in the area!

Capital Grille, in Atlanta, is a great place for a date or nice dinner with the girls. They have spectacular food and the prices are reasonable. After your lunch or dinner there, head out to a local theater like AMC Barrett Commons 24 for a new release like War Horse.

Bathroom Curtain Decor here in Roswell

Jennifer Brancaccio — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 18:59:00 +0000

The bathroom is an important room in your apartment here at Willeo Creek Apartments. Guests, family, and friends need the restroom for one reason or another so why not decorate it with class and color? One question that was on the minds of writers at Re-Nest, the apartment dwellers green living blog, was how long should your shower curtains drape? Another post on the blog dealt with which were better, cloth or plastic curtains?

Both kinds of curtains come in a variety of patterns and colors but what hangs around your tub could make or break your bathroom set-up. This blog is a great way to chime in on matters like this and others. Recommend green products or ways to save money too!

Shower Curtains: Long or Short?

A while back I blogged about fabric vs. plastic shower curtain liners. Maybe I am over thinking the bathroom, but recently a related subject came up while chatting with a friend– how long is a shower curtain supposed to hang?

Ring in the Chinese New Year here in Roswell!

Jennifer Brancaccio — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:38:06 +0000

Usher in the year of the dragon!

There are 12 animals in the Chinese Zodiac. each year ushers in a new animal and 2012 is the year of the dragon! The Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, is a time to celebrate the coming of prosperity, good health, and wealth for family and friends. Here in Roswell near Willeo Creek Apartments, we encourage our residents to celebrate and with their family and friends good luck during the new year.

Those born in the year of the dragon are said to be self-assured, lucky, filled with enthusiasm and vigor. They may also be stubborn or thrifty with their resources and money. In a mate, dragons should seek a more mellow person who will counteract and balance their flamboyancy.

No matter what year you were born in or what animal represents you, take the time to celebrate the Chinese New Year by visiting an Asian restaurant for dinner like Rasa Sayang Restaurant, off of Market Boulevard.
