Here in Florida, it’s 5k season. There are a number of run/walks to choose from every weekend and I’ve already signed up for two in May. I have no plans to RUN these races, but I’m walking. And walking for good causes. Below are the two I am doing. I need to do fundraising for…
I haven’t been to the Olive Garden in YEARS. Perhaps about 5 years, and that was for a baby shower. I can’t remember the last time I actually went there to eat. And if I did eat, I’m pretty sure I only ate bread-sticks and salad. So imagine my surprise to learn that they have…
(Sorry for the lateness of this blog. Life gets in the way yo!) I love to read, yet don’t get to read enough. I’m also a pretty picky reader. I think it’s because I work in news and feel like I’m always surrounded by death, destruction, politics, etc. So when I read, I want it…
St. Patrick’s Day is a big-deal holiday in our house. My grandparents would get really into it and I think celebrating now just reminds us of them. It also helps coming from Chicago where the river turns green and the parade is a big event! The day starts with a visit by the Leprechauns. Think…
The foodie scene is exploding in Orlando and I’m just so happy that I’m here to eat all the food that these amazing chefs are dishing out. The 4 Rivers Smokehouse has FINALLY opened out near the University of Central Florida. I say FINALLY because my husband and I have been counting down since the…

I’m finding myself watching a lot of reruns lately. Movies like When Harry Met Sally or Sleepless in Seattle. I’ve re-watched The Newsroom episodes an embarrassing amount of times to admit. I like that I know how the story ends. I’m scared for The Newsroom, Season 3, because I’m afraid it won’t end up the…
Sad family here as the Olympics wrap up. I’ve had my complaints with NBC’s coverage, I really have no other complaints about the games. It’s been great to watch and we, as a family, still can’t get enough. I do, however, wish that I could watch the big Gold Medal hockey games with my family. …
If you’re looking for something fun to bring to a Super Bowl party, or an end-of-the-season kids football party, here’s something easy and fun; Football Cake Pops! I made these for a Super Bowl party – and they were a hit. Overall, it’s pretty easy. Step 1: You will need cake mix and ingredients. Frosting. …
