This time of the year is sheer madness. Any parent will tell you that the last month of school is full of a million things that need to get done: concerts volunteering awards ceremonies adjusted bell schedules carpool changes Not to mention any of the things you need to get done to actually …
In Orange County, Florida you don’t find many native Floridians. We are a hospitality hot spot, which means people are transplanted here from, literally, all over the world. People hear “Orange County” or “Orlando” and they think of major theme parks and tourist traps. But there’s a lot more to Central Florida. Out of my …
Last month, I did something I’ve wanted to do for a while…I took a daytrip on the Brightline! A childhood friend (who was more like my little sister for many years) was having a baby shower in Boynton Beach and a group of us (the self proclaimed “Party Train to Jenelle’s Baby Shower”) decided that …
We have long discussed making a trip across the pond to visit London. I have an English degree with a concentration in British Literature (yeah, I don’t know what I was thinking either), and I’ve never been to London.

Sometimes they are sitting on the counter, ready to use. And sometimes, those “babies” are sitting in the microwave, heating up, getting bubbly, and smelling oh-so-good! …
S: I already wiped the counters. Me: You think they are clean, but they are not. Bend down to eye level. S: That’s disgusting! Me: Yes. Yes, you are. Raising teenagers is not all fun and games with blissful vacations. Teenagers (and their tweenage counterparts) can be absolutely awful! I can’t tell you what I …
Okay. Let me preface this review by saying I am not usually an historical fiction fan. “The Alice Network” ended up in my possession because my friend brought it to me with another book. It’s been sitting on my bookshelf for months. But O. M. G. Like, seriously. OMG! Why did I wait so long?! Kate Quinn …
The holidays have arrived at Walt Disney World for the 2023 season! And we are here for it! Last Sunday we took a last minute trip to Magic Kingdom. There wasn’t really anything specific on the agenda other than a cup of holiday cheer on Main Street, USA and a stroll around the perimeter of the …
