We love staying out at Disney’s Vero Beach Resort. (More to come on that in a later blog…) We have been there a number of times and it’s just about the perfect vacation spot. It’s about a two hour drive from Orlando, close enough but not too close. This time, I figured I would bring…
Washington, D.C. to me is all about history, monuments, lots of walking and hanging with friends. It has rarely been about food. Typically when I visit, we are grabbing food on-the-go or stumbling to the next bar. But this time, I was determined to dig deeper into the DC food scene. While I wanted to…
My little man is obsessed with penguins. He has been ever since I can remember. We have penguins in all shapes and sizes. Including full on flannel penguin bed sheets, pajamas, necklaces, cups, plates….you name it, we’ve got it. When he grows up, he…surprise, surprise…wants to work with penguins. And be a BMX biker. He’s…
It took us awhile to get moving after a crazy long day 1 in Washington, D.C. This is a rare sight to me…but was much needed: We went on what seemed like the longest trip ever. Started on the Metro train, was detoured to a Metro bus….and then had to walk forever, just to…
A whirlwind weekend in D.C. really is worth blogging about…but honestly, I think I’m still recovering 😉 I already told you about the amazingness that was the White House Correspondents Dinner. When I first arrived late on Thursday, we visited some monuments…at midnight – at it was awesome. After some sleep we hit the ground…
May is bike month. Did you know that? It’s also one of the few months in Florida where the weather can be PERFECT for bike riding. For years I’ve debated biking to work. But as a working mom, there are many factors to consider: Do I need to pick up kids from school? Most days…
OK guys….House of Cards…I’m obsessed! If you don’t know about it – you may be living under a rock…or I don’t have a life…either way. WOW. If you like a good political drama, this is the show for you. What you need to know…Kevin Spacey kicks some ass….Robin Wright is scary good…and there’s a great…
I used to have crazy, crazy dreams. So much so that I bought one of those dream books in high school…”What do your dreams mean?” I wish I knew where that book was, although I don’t think it my dream last night would be in the book. So picture this….big fancy dinner party. I’m wearing…
The company I work for is very generous. Once a year, they organize a Family Fun Night, where they buy out a theme park just for park employees. This year, it was Universal Islands of Adventure. We love the park, and my kids are finally both at the age where they can ride almost everything.…
Overall, April was a great workout month. Despite two different out-of-town trips, I got a lot of workouts in. PLUS, a lot of walking in Chicago and Washington, D.C. So happy that this is now just habit…now I need to kick it up a notch and do more of something different because I’m still not…
