Hey Mom, Hey Dad A kid muses on what life would be like if he was calling the shots

M

y Mom and Dad said that Mother’s Day is May 8 and Father’s day is June 19!

Dad said Mother’s Day means we should tell Mom we love her and give her a day at Spa Sentio. Mom said that Father’s Day is when Dad gets to play bocce and drink beer at Ormsby’s. Parents are weird. If I was a Mommy or Daddy, I’d eat like 14 scoops of ice cream or maybe give my kids huge water blasters and let them TRY to drench me. But I guess I don’t mind too much if we celebrate Mother’s and Father’s day at Westside Provisions District.

Rachel from Seed Factory always lets me color, and Chef Patric from West Egg makes the best cupcakes in the world. A day at WSPD almost makes the idea of growing up seem pretty cool.

Heather Heron Collection Mother’s Day is in the bag with these essential pouches, throws, blankets and weekenders from Environment Furniture

I

n honor of Mother’s Day, Environment Furniture is excited to offer 20% off their entire Heather Heron Collection.

The Green Scene

Atlanta celebrated Earth Day with events all over the city this past April 22. Kolo Collection co-owner Greg Martin got into the spirit and dished about some of his favorite eco-friendly outdoor product lines in this guest feature

S

ustainable décor isn’t limited to homes constructed from recycled PET bottles or lowimpact woodland shelters dug into hillsides. Ecofriendly décor spans the gamut from high design to family friendly. Kolo Collection carries two lines of furniture that fit into the “green” scene. Loll Designs (lolldesigns.com) from Minnesota features durable furniture and cool designs made from 100% post consumer HDPE - milk jugs. Jensen Leisure (jensenleisurefurniture.com) creates durable and stylish furniture from 100% FSC certified Ipé wood (pronounced e-pay). The wood is harvested from a 2.5 million acre forest on a 25 year rotation that in essence creates an infinite supply of timber.
