Treehouses in Georgia: 5 Places to Sleep in the Trees

Jan Schroder — Wed, 22 May 2019 14:40:26 +0000

Maybe it’s primal thing, our love and fascination for sleeping in treehouses. Or maybe it’s the nostalgia factor as many of us have fond childhood memories of playing in treehouses. I grew up on a cul de sac, where we spent hours in the Kellys’ treehouse nestled in the woods near a creek. Or perhaps [...]

That Delicious Masters Pimento Cheese Recipe [As Close As You Can Get]

Jan Schroder — Mon, 25 Mar 2019 16:23:44 +0000

My dad had tickets for The Masters decades and loved making the trek to Augusta National every year. When my mom was still alive, he would sometimes take her although her interest was mainly in how pretty the azaleas were. So I grew up hearing about the delicious pimento cheese at the Masters Golf Tournament. [...]

Highlights of Munich, Germany

Although it is a well-known fact that Munich is the home of the annual Oktoberfest, there is so much more to the city than one of the world’s most beloved festivals. The capital of Bavaria is home to a host of historic buildings from Gothic churches to modern towers, museums and art galleries, lovely parks. [...]

Mardi Gras Memories: A Parrot, A Parade and a Porch at the Pontalba

Jan Schroder — Mon, 11 Feb 2019 13:06:18 +0000

When a friend of ours told us that she’d hopped in a car and headed for the yearly drunkfest that is known as Mardi Gras, stripped off her shirt and painted her breasts with gold paint, I asked, “How did you get the letters straight?” That’s me, kind of the pragmatist among the partiers. Which [...]

Handbag Heaven in Amsterdam

Jan Schroder — Wed, 02 Jan 2019 12:39:11 +0000

I first spotted it while we were cruising the canals in Amsterdam. Right there, alongside the other elegant 17th-century red brick homes was the sign Tassen Museum, a museum for handbags. As a lover of all things purse and totebag-related, I immediately began scheming how I could make it back there. We were only in [...]

Gorgeous Bathrooms: Groom with a View

Jan Schroder — Wed, 19 Sep 2018 08:15:05 +0000

I grew up sharing a bathroom with two brothers. My first year of college I shared one with nine other women, who surprisingly, are still some of my closest friends. Until a few years ago, the shower portion of my bathroom at home was barely bigger than the shower. I felt like I had to [...]

5 reasons to visit Oxford, Mississippi

Jan Schroder — Tue, 21 Aug 2018 20:19:06 +0000

Oh, the hours I spent agonizing over that man in college. His words were incomprehensible to me, his motives unfathomable. What did he mean by that? I asked myself that question over and over, crouched in a near-fetal position in a cubicle, on my couch, at the pub. On a recent trip we had a [...]

5 tips for staying in a treehouse

Jan Schroder — Tue, 07 Aug 2018 21:45:00 +0000

Staying in a treehouse isn’t like other accommodations. It’s not like camping out, where you bring everything in to the camp site and then take everything out with you. It’s not like a hotel, with room service and restaurants close by. It’s more of a hybrid situation – you’re in the woods with some amenities, [...]
