Yes…I’m one of THOSE people. I’m sitting on a beautiful beach, the waves the only sound for miles, under a cabana, with my laptop out and updating my blog. Sorry folks, that’s how I roll these days. Life has been busy. Good busy. Lots of change, lots of big life decisions. I never thought I…
Yes, this is another view of a John Rivers restaurant. No, I don’t get paid for any portion of these things. Having a review in a title for this blog post isn’t even fair. I’m pretty confident that at this point in life, John Rivers could fry just about anything up and I would eat…
Give Kids the World is one of my favorite non-profit organizations in Central Florida. They are located close to the theme parks and give children with life-threatening illnesses and their families dream vacations. Today, Tuesday, they are doing something great. And you can help without even opening your wallet (although I encourage you to also…
I had an experience today that I found so disturbing and upsetting, I really am unsure of what to do next. So I’m blogging about it. Advice please. So my 8-year-old son is in an Little League. I haven’t been in love with the league this entire season. It’s unorganized from the top down. There’s…

I spent the weekend in Tampa on what I thought was a fun belated birthday celebration away with my husband (more on that trip in a later blog!). I really thought that he wanted to just take a fun trip out of two to some fun restaurants and visit some friends I haven’t seen in…
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. …
