Glazed and Fired Collage_May 2013

We ate delicious food courtesy of  Mia’s Pizza & Eats, Creations Bakery & Donut Depot.

Mia's _May 2013

I absolutely LOVED this salad presentation from Mia’s – it’s their Greek salad but jazzed up with delicious ham & turkey and homemade bread sticks on the side – SO GOOD!!  If you have an upcoming catering need – be sure to check out Mia’s.  Yes, they make great pizza but they make great everything!!

Stay Tuned for More Fun …

We may be taking a summer break but don’t worry, we’ll be ready to resume again in September.  I have already seen a couple of the fall paintings – you’re going to LOVE them!!

Don’t forget you can always book your own PRIVATE Canvas party with Glazed & Fired.  Simply grab a group of 8 adults (or 5 children) and for $35 per person, you can select a painting and a date.  It’s a great way to get a group of girls together for a fun night.

Be sure to check out their Mommy & Me sessions (every other Tuesday during the summer) and their Summer Camps for Kids also.  There’s always something fun going on at Glazed & Fired!!

We look forward to seeing YOU at our September Girl’s Night Out!!

School's out_Things to do in Cumming Forsyth County

We’ve got a four day weekend ahead of us.   Forsyth County Schools will be closed Friday through Monday!   Hopefully that means a combination of later nights AND later mornings in our house!  I’m a very stick to the routine kind of gal, but when school’s out for a long weekend I like for everyone to have a good time!

We’re highlighting some fun events and things to do in Cumming & Forsyth County GA or click here for our full Calendar of Events.

Special Movie Event at Hampton Park Library

Friday, February 15th:  10:15am.  Special showing of Lady & the Tramp.  If you’ve never been to the Hampton Park movie screenings, it’s a fun way to spend the morning.  Usually very laid back.  Fun for the kids and free!!

Happy Birthday to Monkey Joe’s

Monday, February 19th:  Monkey Joe’s is celebrating their birthday with a party!  I’ve contacted our Cumming Monkey Joe’s and here’s the scoop:  The Post Road location is celebrating by providing a free slice of pizza to the first one hundred customers who come in Monday, February 19th along with a free goodie bag to the first seventy-five kids.  Regular Weekend / Holiday Admission Pricing will apply.
