EAT.STAY.SHOP.PLAY. Mint Julep 2353 Peachtree Road NE 404.814.9155 EAT My favorite category! H&F Bottle Shop 2357 Peachtree Road NE 404.841.4070 PLAY With three boys who play baseball, our favorite pastime is obviously… BASEBALL! We spend the majority of our weekends at Frankie Allen Park, home to Buckhead Baseball, our local recreation baseball league. We also enjoy cheering on the Atlanta Braves during MLB home games at Turner Field. Karen Sheldon is a North Carolina transplant who moved to Atlanta (Buckhead) 20 years ago. She and her husband, Stuart, are parents to three boys: Will (17), Jack (almost 15) and Drew (nearly 14). Karen was a stay-at-home mom until 2004, when she opened Sprong Children’s Shoes, which still operates at 375 Pharr Road in Buckhead. For the past three years, she has taught preschool at Northside Methodist Preschool to have more time for her teenagers’ ever-changing schedules and to get her “little kid fix” without having any more of her own! 1820 Peachtree Road NW 404.382.8088 Photo: Saltyard My family also enjoys playing tennis. Atlanta is home to the largest city tennis league in the world—the Atlanta Lawn Tennis Association (ALTA). My “escape” is playing on an ALTA tennis team out of the Buckhead YMCA. Karen Sheldon Saltyard Saltyard is one of my new faves! Tapas plates to die for and fantastic service too. You have to get the deviled farm eggs, fig bruschetta with blue cheese and honey (real sliced figs—delish!) and the pièce de résistance— brussels leaves! They are only available while supplies last every night, so order early! There are also plenty of great proteins and of course, desserts (Chocolate Nemesis is our favorite). OCTOBER NOVEMBER 2014 83
