    A Freelancer Taking a Java Journey

    May 26, 2017

    Working from home each day can be difficult. Nagging household chores are begging you for attention. The television is only one click away from a huge distraction, especially if you have writers block. When I decided (actually my husband encouraged it) to launch my freelance writing career, I created my own planner and set out to create a weekly schedule, allowing me to stay focused on my blog AND my freelance writing. However, I under estimated the significance of my work environment. Living and working in a two room apartment, while our home is being constructed has proven to be very claustrophobic. Don’t get me wrong, I love working from…

    Comfort and Style at The Green Room

    October 14, 2016

    The Green Room Restaurant and Bar was host to my first Greenville Blog Society Meet Up.  It was great meeting fellow bloggers, who upon receiving their first course for the night’s dinner,  pulled out their phones to take pictures.  I always feel awkward doing this when I dine with my husband. Being a blogger, I am the stereotypical introvert.  Getting out of my routine work environment (home) and talking to complete strangers about my blog was a huge step for me.  I did enjoy the fellowship and conversing with Johnathan Anderson – author of Yeah That Greenville Guide, Tiffany Anderson and Tiffany Paraskevas, blogger at Macarons and Coffee Ambience of…

    Elegance at Rick Erwin’s Clemson

    September 30, 2016

    Need a romantic, elegant dinner spot for a special night, Rick Erwin’s Clemson location fits the bill.  Opened in October 2014, the Patrick Square location is an upscale dining option for the nearby residents,  a casual pizzeria is across the street.  Plenty of free parking is available.  Surrounded by single family homes, town homes and upscale business offices, the restaurant is a good option for after work drinks or a quiet anniversary dinner for two. Upon entering the foyer, the bar is to the left and the dining room is to the right.  Rick Erwin’s offers a beautiful, modern bar area with over 300 wine selections.  The perfect spot to…

    Kool Local Bar at Dive N Boar

    September 2, 2016

    This restaurant has closed since this post was published. Located in the Cherrydale community of Greenville, sits an inconspicuous joint called the Dive-N-Boar.  Sitting in a strip center, off a busy Hwy 291, you would not suspect that great things happen inside this place, like good food and great music!  Locals probably realize the appeal with Happy Hour from 4 pm – 7 pm with drink specials and $5.00 appetizers, this place is a great location to meet friends and unwind. Friday and Saturday nights are JAM NIGHT with local musicians belting out their tunes and entertaining a full dining crowd. Although currently undergoing a massive kitchen renovation, the vibe…

    Sizzling Steaks at Appalachian Grill

    August 26, 2016

    This photo of Appalachian Grill is courtesy of TripAdvisor Appalachian Grill in Cartersville, Georgia Located just 30 minutes northeast of Dallas, Cartersville can lay claim to one of the most quaint, romantic steak house restaurants in this area. The Appalachian Grill offers all standard cuts of beef (rib-eye, strip, filet, and sirloin) prepared in their own special way, with signature flavor and spices. Also on the menu are various fish and pasta entrees, with a small kids menu available. However, the steaks are what most patrons come for. The rustic, mountainous charm presented in this small, cozy restaurant nestled in downtown Cartersville is an unsuspecting delight in suburbia. The lighting…
