It’s an event my family has talked about for months…Festival of Bacon! Last year we went to a Bacon Festival in Orlando which was basically bacon cook-off between food trucks. It was pretty awesome.

We had a great day one and planned a pretty busy Saturday. It involved exploring along the Blue Ridge Parkway. We basically had to be at a wedding at 1:30- and it was a good hour plus from our hotel. We decided to take this scenic route and make lots of stops to take a…

Today is a very sad day in the Cook house. We had to make a really tough decision and put an end to the suffering of our little JackJack. He was simply the best cat ever. We got this kitty from my friend Leslie who rescued him on a very cold night in Orlando. He…
I used to work in Celebration, Florida. I realized today that was about 14-15 years ago. How did that happen? I remember going rollerblading a few times while I worked there, but I didn’t have a bike back then. One of my blogger friends Kelly has been blogging a lot lately about biking around Celebration,…

You know I love Peterbrooke Chocolate, I mean, I even had my birthday party there! They invited some bloggers over Friday to test one of their new creations, the Broissant. …
