We got a chance to meet some of our resident pets here at Willeo Creek in our cutest pet contest, and I must say there was some adorable entries. All of the pets looked so innocent,cute, young and full of life and I though to myself how can we keep our pets this way. Then it hit me! Light-bulb, exercise! We as humans exercise to keep our bodies young, fit and... [Read more...]
Any Willeo Creek residents want to get their pedal on?
As most Willeo Creek residents know, Roswell is great for bicycling. There are many bike events and races throughout the year, but did you know there's a local mountain biking group?

One of the great things about living at Willeo Creek is the natural beauty that surrounds the apartment community and our close proximity to Chattahoochee Nature Preserve.

I went and got a facial this weekend and the esthetician was less than kind. She grilled me about a my sunscreen habits and I apparently came up lacking. I told her I wear a SPF 15 moisturizer everyday and SPF 45 sunscreen when I am outdoors all day. Well she tsked me (kinda severe for a facialist wouldn't you say?) and then informed me in no uncertain terms... [Read more...]
I love my god-daughter. She is funny and creative and has a huge sense of adventure; she's also three. You know what's interesting about three year-olds? Their food choices.

Everyone's felt it and the advice is always the same; it takes time, fill up your days with things you love and ride it out.... [Read more...]

Well here's a thought to get me back in the gym, swimsuit season is almost here. I'll take a moment and let you digest this...yep, after spring comes summer and that means... [Read more...]
I remember being little and never wanting to take a nap. It was like an endless battle. I would bring home a frowney face on my daily report card from kindergarten every day for my behavior during naptime. I don't know what I was thinking! I must have been insane! Now as an adult I love naps. I can't get enough of them. I have even been known to get a... [Read more...]
