I did more than just stalk celebrities on a recent trip to Washington, D.C. There will be more to come, but I’m so exhausted. However, I did want to share with you some of the beauty of the weekend. First, a night trip to visit Thomas Jefferson. It was about midnight and we were the…
The Book Warehouse is a little independent bookstore in Oviedo that is sadly closing. Tomorrow (Thursday) is their LAST DAY and right now all books are $1. ALL BOOKS ARE $1. It’s crazy, because there are some great books! My kids aren’t big readers. But I tell you, tell them they can have anything in…
We got a chance to check out the new Kings Bowl in Orlando today…and you have a chance to go…for free!!! I’m running my first ever blog giveaway!! The winner will get four free bowling passes to the new Kings Bowl! But before I get to giveaway details…let me tell you a little about this…
ACTUAL CONVERSATION: Random student: “It’s so great you came back! What year did you graduate?” Me: “1994” Random student: “Oh…1994 is the year I was born! Cool!” Me: DYING….. Now – repeat this conversation about 300 times and that was my Friday night back at my high school. While I felt like an old lady…
Up until I met my husband, I never knew what a “Speak Easy” was. I never even heard of it. He, on the other hand, uses that word for all of his user names…even on twitter!! It’s always been his thing. He’s been talking about opening his own forever. Well, someone finally got smart and…
Based on a press release sent to me early this morning, the answer may be yes. Listen, I’m all about the bacon. When cooked properly, it’s the most magical thing ever. Exhibit A– BaconOff. However, the latest bacon-inspired products may be a bit disturbed. I give you…Bacon Condoms. The press release actually says, “Make Your…
I don’t know if it’s the crappy weather outside, but this morning’s bike ride was quite the adventure! It’s nice and overcast, and there were a few sprinkles along the way. But nothing too bad…although the wind is getting pretty fierce out there! I’ve mentioned it before, but the area behind my house is some…
I had to stay at home today with a sick kid. I don’t know how some of you moms do it. It’s 4:30p and I’m still in my pj’s. So I’m waiting for my B to come home from shook on the bus. He normally doesn’t take the bus, but stays for extended day. I…
It’s been quite a year in my house with various illnesses. I would say this is rare. However, there is not one winter/spring time in my life where I don’t remember being healthy. In between my asthma/allergies, October-March really just means sick. Thankfully, none of that has seemed to spread to my family. The worst…
It has been a marathon weekend! Aside from Christmas, St. Patrick’s Day is hands down the family favorite. There are many reasons why we go all out for the holiday. But the main reason is due to my grandparents. My Grandfather went by the nickname “Irish.” It wasn’t until I was about 12 or so…
