✨ I had the absolute honor and privilege of spending time with some amazing ladies from Brookdale Peachtree in celebration of National Assisted Living Week! 💜

We got creative with some tie-dye fun — T-shirts, socks, and pouches were all on the table, and let me just say… these ladies nailed it! 🎨🧦👕

Each piece turned out so vibrant and unique — just like the wonderful women who made them. We wrapped it all up with some sweet treats, enjoying cookies and fruit as we admired our colorful creations. 🍪🍓

A huge thank you to Miss Heather for welcoming me in and letting me be part of such a joyful afternoon. Can’t wait to come back! 💕
