Whether you have been following along for a while or this is your first time here, I just wanted to say WELCOME! I’m glad you are here. This week I have been sharing my favorite back to school shopping spots. As I mentioned before, this is the first year I’m sending a kid off […]
This week I am touching on my favorite stops for back to school shopping. I think for most of us, Target is a no brainer. I mean, you can find everything at Target, right?!? Since I’m already there picking up school supplies (and having my weekly sanity run) I might as well take a […]
Facebook is evidence that a lot of you all over the country have already started school, but we still have a couple weeks to cram in some last minute shopping before sending my Lil Hollywood off to Kindergarten. Our life is soooo about to change permanently. Eeek! I have a lot of friends ask […]
I live for nights like this. When the kids are playing in the backyard in bathing suits after dinner. When it’s warm enough to stroll around in a tank and bare feet. It doesn’t happen all that often around here. Just a few months of this heavenly weather and then we’ll go back to […]
I have good intentions of re-posting our Ethiopia travel journals here someday, but that is not what this is. Today is remembering that life-changing moment, three years ago, when I met my daughter.

Following our amazing tour of the Tulum Mayan Ruins, our tour guide drove us 20-30 minutes along the beautiful coastline to a secluded beach resort. There we would have about an hour of time to delve into the amazing buffet they spread out for us and spend some time in the waves before starting […]
Our stop at Cozumel, Mexico was by far my favorite of the entire trip, even though we didn’t have a chance to explore the island of Cozumel at all. AT ALL! We were one of the firsts off the ship that morning, bright and early in order to catch a ferry to the mainland. […]
Our second stop on our anniversary cruise was Georgetown, Grand Cayman. Because of our adventures in Jamaica, we were ready for a day of relaxation. We opted out of an excursion and decided to just see where the day would take us…mainly, the beach. Because who doesn’t want a beach day, right? In case […]
Jamaica is a beautiful country full of beautiful people. We were more than a little excited to see it on our cruise itinerary. From the gorgeous stretches of white sand and turquoise waters to the luscious green landscape, it was a view of paradise, that’s for sure. Our desire for this trip, beyond the […]
My husband and I have dreamed of visiting The Big Easy for quite some time now. We are not exactly the partying type by any means, but we couldn’t resist the draw to the history, architecture, and mysterious qualities that define New Orleans. When we were determining which route we wanted to take on […]
