The ice cream featured in this post was provided for me for FREE. I mean, who can turn down free ice cream! I was not paid for this post, and opinions are my own. Again, I love ice cream. So when approached to blog about some new ice cream products, why say no?! Turns out,…
My favorite place to eat at Walt Disney World has gotten even better. It’s a small, tucked-away spot that most people glance over, but it’s a hidden gem of delicious goodness.

The sound of bagpipes, the smell of beer and men in kilts – it’s the 38th annual Central Florida Scottish Highland Games! The games were held his past weekend in Central Winds Park in Winter Springs. I’m really sad that it has taken me over 16 years of living in Florida to attend!!! Why have…
I hope you are all having a fabulous 2015! My new year started off on an amazing note. I hope that means this year has nothing but great things ahead! Typically, our New Year’s consists of my husband working and me at my in-laws watching their neighbors blow up anything they can find. But that’s…

An event where I can swear a flannel shirt and jeans? Yes please! Last night I was lucky enough to attend the annual Cows ‘n Cabs event, benefiting the Community Food & Outreach Center and Elevate Orlando. So I borrowed some fancy cowboy boots and hit the town to get-down at Winter Park’s West Meadow. …
I will write a more in-depth post later about what a great, amazing family vacation we had to Washington, DC. But as I’m sitting in the airport, looking at our list of things we’ve done, I thought, damn, that’s impressive. So, here’s the raw list of everything we managed to accomplish: WEDNESDAY: Flew in to…
I really don’t know when it all happened. There was a time, not that long ago, where my children would be mildly interested in sports and sport news, but would rather play with toys. Suddenly, my oldest, who is now 11 and in the 6th grade, has become sports obsessed. It’s kind of awesome, and…
