On January 29, we had 40 moms come together to participate in an educational evening held at the locally-owned Alexander’s Highland Market. It was a great night to meet other, local moms, chat about meal-planning, eat and drink, enter some incredible giveaways, and take home an awesome SWAG bag!

Courtney began the tour in the produce section of the store where Hanley’s Foods...

Yes! There are! Great ones, actually. I quickly got my google on, mapped out our route, and ventured out to find the best cupcake in Baton...
