I can’t even believe the title of this post…how in the world did that happen?
OK, girls! I am just about to die over this one, but getting into Atlanta magazine’s May issue is truly a dream come true. Not that I ever really sat around thinking about getting in this local magazine in my own hometown, but really….how exciting is this?
Lisa Mowry did a fabulous job covering my blog story and all about how I started blogging, all the personal trials I went through, and how I turned my blog into a business. My sweet daddy is mentioned by name in the article and I’m just so happy and proud for my family to be featured like this.
I posted the scanned article over on my Facebook page and you can click over there and open it up in Fullscreen (look for an arrow in the top right of the picture for Fullscreen mode) and you should be able to read it all.
And the online version from Atlanta Magazine is linked too.
The photographer really did a great job with the photo shoot too and it makes my fixer upper house look pretty fantastic, especially with the Before and After shots.
Ya’ll, I just can’t even believe it. They didn’t put a pic of me in the article, but that’s OK too, just being featured and having my blog being talked about is super exciting stuff. All of you have hung in there with me through this whole entire journey and I can’t thank you enough. Dreams really do come true and I’m totally living in a fun one right now. I can’t even believe all the fun things I get to do. God has blessed me beyond measure, from 2 years ago to now.
Thank you ALL from the bottom of my heart for all your support through the last 6 years. If not for faithful and supportive readers like all of you, I would not be here today.
Smiling for you Rhoda – great stuff!
Congratulations!
We are in the process of buying an older home in the Houston area and I will be using your board and batton tutorial for the dining room and breakfast room. So thankful for running into you.

This is so exciting, Rhoda. I love hearing your blog story and how blogging has been such a blessing for you. Your house is beautiful and I am sure people will love seeing it in Atlanta Magazine. Congratulations!
I am a firm believer that you can reinvent yourself at any age, at any stage, and you are living proof. The way you’ve picked yourself up and forged ahead shows what can be done if you aren’t afraid to try (well, maybe you’re a little afraid, but you try anyway!!!!)
Congrats!
Oh Rhoda, how exciting! I am so happy and proud for you. You are an inspiration to so many of us, in so many ways. It is so nice to see you get the recognition you deserve. Congrats!!!
Congratulations, Rhoda! I’m so, so happy for you!
That’s so amazing Rhoda! Congrats! xo Kristin
Congratulations Rhoda! So very happy for you! Life is good and we are all jumping for joy with you today! No one deserves it more. You bless us everyday and your faith is a beacon for all! This is only a beginning to your wonderful life and great things ahead!!!
How very exciting for you. You and you dad have worked so hard on your home and you deserve the praise.
Congratulations Rhoda!!! You and your dad work so hard. He is such a wonderful man. I love seeing him in your pictures.

I started reading your blog years ago when you were married. I saw the dimise of your marriage and the selling off of your house. The next phase was moving in with your adorable parents and fixing up parts of their house. Phase 3 was fixing up your home and all the trails and tribulations that went with it. It brightens my heart to know that a woman, who wasn’t a 30-something, made it work. I admire you and your father for all the hard work done in transfering a lemon into lemonade. Well done.
You are simply fabulous – no doubt about it! Congratulations on your super successes!!!
I am so happy for you, Rhoda. You deserve all the recognition that is coming your way. Congratulations!
Well deserved! So excited to see your new home showcased like that 😉
Congrats!!! Well deserved, and for your daddy (and mamma) too! What a fun time for you all, enjoy!
