With only one weekend to explore, can you get to all the hot spots and make some memories to last a lifetime? Yes you can. With a good map, some… View Post
Yesterday I cleaned the house. Dragged out the rest of the holiday decorations. Had my hair done. Chatted with a girlfriend. Went to a volleyball game. Bought some groceries. Helped with homework. Squeezed in a date with the Hubby. Did a little work. Played with the dog. Um, pretty much anything I could to avoid…..Christmas shopping! It’s not that I… View Post
Challenge accepted? Every once in a while life presents you with an opportunity you can either face head on, or run away screaming from. A chance to spread your wings and go for it, or curl into a ball and read a rock like a baby. Huh? Yup. These were the kind of whack a do thoughts that were running… View Post
Sometimes you just have to listen to your heart, pack that bag, and run away with the man you love for a romantic weekend. And what better place to do this than New York City! Time together exploring, laughing, adventuring? There may be no better time together. I’m thankful for every new site we saw. Every wrong turn we took…. View Post

From parties to host, decorating to do,… View Post
Dodged a bullet….errr an alligator and lived to tell the tale! I’ve recently retuned form a whirlwind tour of Kissimmee Florida where I ate my way around the world (literally) at the World Food Championships and squeezed in as much adventure as humanely possible in four sunshiney days. A spent a day meandering though the glorious Epcot in the enchanting… View Post
The Holiday season is a lot of things. It’s twinkling lights, and late night cocktail parties. Trimming the trees and shopping sprees. Running dozens of errands and eating too many cookies. Christmas concerts, turkey dinners, and endless to-do lists. In the middle of the madness, do you remember to take care of you? I for one am quite guilty of… View Post
We caught one of the very last flights into New York City that night. The planes arriving after us? Diverted to other airports or grounded due to the wild winds and unsafe conditions. The pilot must have white knuckled that landing and he was rewarded by uproarious applause as we cruised safely into Laguardia Airport. As we emerged from the… View Post
