I’d love to take credit for discovering this local gem but all credit goes to my husband, Nelson! I am typically the planner for all things- dinners, trips, weekend activities…. you name it, I planned out most every detail. But…
I hold traditions near and dear to my heart! I have old traditions from my childhood that I still continue, I have traditions that we started with the birth of our daughter and some new ones we have added since….
Miami, a city truly unlike any other! It is our home away from home as my husband was born and raised there and his family still lives in Miami. We don’t go longer than a couple months without a visit….
Spring Break 2021 looked much different for us! This year, there were no event tickets purchased, reservations made or luggage packed. And that was okay. Without those things, we were determined to still pack in a ton of fun and…
We are lucky to live only a few hours from Disney World! Currently, there are some reasonably priced tickets to the parks for Florida Residents. We were in need of a little weekend trip so we scooped up the tickets…
I live for vacations as do most people! I enjoy the anticipation leading up to the trip almost as much as the trip itself. And again like many others, we had a few already booked vacations that were cancelled due…
I am a true Floridian! I was born, raised and continue to live in the same town that I was born. Even though I have been here for 43 years, I had never visited Homosassa or been diving for scallops….
We are almost at the 2 month mark as to when we started to change our way of life. Sometimes, it seems so much longer than that! As someone who prefers to be at home, I embraced our quarantine time…
Growing up, I had visited the dog tracks in Bonita Springs a few times but I had never been to a horse racing event. Lucky for me, Tampa Downs is only 90 minutes away. So when I saw they were…
We spent our Saturday at Rockabillaque! It took place at The Seminole Casino and Hotel in Immokalee. It’s a little over an hour drive from where we live. This was our first time attending it. But we had such an…
As our daughter has gotten older, instead of the usual birthday parties, we let her pick a friend and a place to take a little trip to…… well within reason, of course! For her 14th birthday she chose Universal Studios…
Basketball season is in full swing and nothing delights our family more! The Miami Heat had a Saturday home game in November so why not head the 3 hours to root on our team! The thing is that November is…
We decided to have a responsible adult Saturday morning where we got work accomplished around the house. It was exactly as much fun as it sounded! Which is no fun! After all that adulting, I was in desperate need of…
Ya’all know how we love our Miami Heat! Our excitement builds as preseason approaches. We felt like we hit the lotto when the preseason schedule was released and Miami had one of their five home games on a Friday night!…
One thing you’ve got to know about us, is that we are a basketball family! More specifically, a Miami Heat family! But we have an all around love for the sport! We are extremely lucky that we have amazing family…
I see weekends as an invitation to go exploring for fun with my family. This usually entails driving at least an hour in any direction from our house. But after a few busy weekends, I decided that we should try…
Ybor City, Tampa! Many think of Ybor as a place you head to when you want to party and get a little wild! It’s an accepting area when it comes to having a good time at night! Yet Ybor is…
After recently visiting a nearby brewery called Peace River Beer Company, we decided to head out a bit farther. So we took the 90 minute drive to Ybor City which is in Tampa, Florida. We spent the day wandering around…
Beer! Not my first choice when choosing an adult beverage. Normally, I go in the direction of wine or vodka. But so much has changed in the world of beer. I started to research a bit in regards to craft…
Lexington, Kentucky has a few claims to fame! They are the horse capital of the world, there are nine bourbon distilleries located there AND our daughter’s very best friend moved there less than 2 years ago. Because of that last…
Here we are at our second full day in Bluff City. One of my favorite google searches I use wherever we travel is ‘unique things to do in (insert the town)’. Let me tell you that the search did not…
Graceland, a mecca for Elvis fans! A place where we are all connected by our love for the one and only Elvis Presley! We are quite the Elvis fans, we have even renewed our vows by Elvis while my husband…
