My secret wish is that a taco stand will open right across the street from me one day, but until then, I have found my taco match.

Bar Taco is new to the Atlanta area, but has a few locations across the country. Not only are the soft tacos addictive, savory, and spectacular, but the whole menu is. Gabe and I took the family and ordered the Chef selection small tray and it was plenty of food for the both of us. Whatever you order, make sure the chorizo taco is one your selections;)

The atmosphere seals the deal.
An open garage door walks you into the center bar where you can look up and view the masses of hanging basket light fixtures. A fine selection of large art prints right above the navy striped seating, and each employee dressed in gingham and chucks. A breezy back patio in case you want to enjoy the outdoors, and just the right music selection.

I promise this place will not disappoint! And you may see me there….just indulging in one too many chorizo tacos. 🙂

Diary of a SAHWM

In Honor of Design | Chelsey Heidorn Photography
Photo by Chelsey Heidorn from our Family photo shoot.

Every day that I have been a mother, I have been a stay at home working mother. (SAHWM)
What I would call a mother who is sincerely trying to balance it all, who desperately wishes she had more hours in the day, more organization, more patience, and more coffee. I have had a range of titles, trying to figure out what works best with my family. From a graphic designer, accessory shop owner, blogger, and now creative business consultant, every week of motherhood has been a fight to balance the two worlds for fear one may squash the other. A work hard at night so that I don’t miss to much of their sweet little lives during the day mentality.

“Normal Day, let me be aware
of the treasure you are.
Let me learn from you, love you,
bless you before you depart.
Let me not pass you by in quest
of some rare and perfect tomorrow.”
-M.J. Iron

The Brand Market: Chicago

Chicago Blog Graphic

These last few months have chased me down, and I can hardly believe it is mid September! Before I had a chance to announce the D.C. workshop, it sold out! So I wanted to make sure and post more details about the Chicago workshop on October 11th! We had originally planned for August which was a little too tight of a deadline for all involved….

With every dark pair of denim, I wear out the knees first. They fade over time, and sit in a stack in my closet. Well, I chuckle a little over the destroyed knee denim look taking over, and the amount that you can purchase them for. Really, why dish out a couple hundred when you can upcycle a pair you already own? Sharing my method for successful torn denim on the eHow style blog:) P.S. Had to do some research at Jeni’s ice cream so I willingly obliged to taste testing the Brambleberry crunch…

Outfit One: Slouchy Sweater: Old Navy (ordered two sizes up) // Necklaces: The Giving Keys, Gold and Gray c/o // Denim: Upcycled Madewell (similar) // Nude Pumps ShoeMint c/o (similar)

Outfit Two: Utility Vest: Shop Ruche (similar) // Denim: Upcycled // Flats: similar here or here // Tank: Upcycled lace shirt (similar) // Necklace: The Giving Keys // Tote: Wink & Winn c/o (similar)

As my own family is working on living a simpler lifestyle, I have complete respect for those doing this so well. When I heard about Aurora’s family and the life they have chosen to live in a tiny home on wheels, I asked her to share her story with you. So happy to have her as a guest today…

Hi all! My name is Aurora, I’m a website curator and photographer some days, mama always and wife first! I love and believe in creativity in the small things; in the mundane, in our dwelling spaces, in our words, in all our days.  VIEW FULL POST

24 Hours in Atlanta with Condé Nast Traveler

September 12, 2014

24 Hours in Atlanta www.inhonorofdesign.com

Everytime I say I am done adding things to my plate and simplifying my life, a door opens that beckons I walk through it. When I was asked to be a contributor to Condé Nast Traveler, the door was to irresistible to ignore. Thankful for this opportunity and cannot wait to share all content we have planned!

My first article went up yesterday giving you an hour by hour suggested guide for 24 hrs in Atlanta.
Because anyone who has flown through Atlanta has been stuck here are some point or other, am I right? 😉

Hope you all enjoy it! My dear cousin/kindred spirit is getting married this weekend so I am off to OH at it’s most beautiful time of year! Can’t wait to touch base in my home state and visit with near and dear. Happy weekend!

x, Anna
