The Adventure Begins

So I did it!! After 24 years in the restaurant business, I took that leap of faith to come on board full time with Jennifer at The Funky Shack!! It was a long time coming and the decision, though a little scary and a lot out of my comfort zone, felt so right. Jennifer is my sister , my BFF, and we spend the day working, brainstorming, laughing and planning the rest of out lives. It is a perfect situation, but what would make it more perfect is if Tami, our other sister and BFF would come join us!!!

My job title, Studio Manager, sounds very chic. It pretty much includes a little of everything from stopping at Starbuck's to get my "boss" coffee, making lunch for the kids, all the paperwork, packing, painting and everything "computer." I have to say I love every minute of it! I can go to work in my pj's, kick my shoes off and dig in.

The test is going to be this summer trying to work and keep five kids(6yrs. 7yrs, 7yrs, 10yrs, and 13yrs.) busy and productive. We have somewhat come up with a plan now it is time to enact and hold ourselves accountable. It is going to take a lot of organization from two Moms who usually just "wing it."

It is not going to be business as usual this summer. Our plan is to aggressively attack and conquer the world of weddings and party decor. We pretty much have decided that our husbands work too hard running around to make extra money and it is our goal to grow and land at some financial peace.

Check back because I will be starting a seperate blog to share this adventure with you!

Maguires Irish Pub, Senoia Georgia

If you are lucky enough to live in the quaint little town of Senoia GA, you never would have guessed 2 years ago that it would look like it does now.

This small historic town has been restored and transformed into the place it was always meant to be. With all of the beautiful shops and yummy restaurants its like stepping into a different world.

As they say in Senoia, "its 25 miles and 100 years from Atlanta".

Nestled right in the heart of downtown Senoia is the best little Irish Pub in Georgia. Maguires Irish Pub is the true Irish experience. It's a traditional gathering place for family and friends, located at the corner of Main and Seavy Sts. As soon as you walk in the door you'll feel like you stepped into old world Ireland and you will be welcomed to the very best of Ireland on tap. Being surrounded by all of the rich wood and field stone fireplace you'll feel right at home.

The picture above is from a private wedding that was held at the restaurant.
For intimate gatherings you can reserve the private cork room, pictured below. For more information on reservations, please call Chris Fives or Frank Maguire at (770) 727-3020. When calling, please specify if you are interested in reserving the Cork Room for a private or semi-private gathering.

Imagine yourself gathered around the beautiful field stone fireplace with family and friends!
