    March 12, 2016 - By 

    Easter is a special time of year to me. I am sure it is to many of you as well. My Mom was born around Easter and so this time of year reminds me of her. Easter is the time of year we used to get together often. It kind of kicked off the spring season. Birthdays, holidays and just any old reason to get together. Once the snow has melted and the roads are good to drive on again we would get together more than we ever did in the winter. My Mom loved spring as do my kids.…

    Are you looking for some fun family entertainment to kick off your March break? Look no further than Budweiser Gardens and Disney on Ice. Disney on Ice Dare to Dream is on at Budweiser Gardens all weekend. It opened last night. We have had a longstanding tradition here of attending Disney on Ice most years since the kids were small. Many years when they were little we would enter the contests at the local libraries and earn tickets for reading dozens of books and logging them there. But tickets are affordable and you can easily get four tickets for $100…

    March 11, 2016 - By 

    Not so long ago I had the chance to visit The Florida Everglades. I was there for a travel writer tour and conference. After the tour we watched a show inspired by The Gator Boys, one of my kids’s favourite TV shows. Now everybody knows that Florida and alligators just simply go together, but sometimes when you travel you learn the strangest things. I mean did you know that alligator bites are more powerful than the bite of a great white shark? Yikes! These are 11 Alligator Facts I did not know until I took an airboat tour of the Florida…

    Why Chrissy Teigen’s Gender Selection Choice is None of Your Business

    March 9, 2016 - By 

    Chrissy Teigen has been in the news a lot this past week for telling the world she had a girl embryo transferred after her infertility struggle and her in vitro fertilization treatment. Shortly after she made that seemingly off the cuff statement about her gender selection choice, the conversation deteriorated rapidly on line into something that bordered on bullying and was anything but supportive of someone’s infertility journey. That left me feeling a bit sick. Why Do I Care? You are maybe wondering why I should care. I don’t know Chrissy Teigen. I am not her cheering section, her publicist, her BAE,…

    5 Places to Visit in Miami #travel

    March 8, 2016 - By 

    At the end of 2015, we had a chance to stay in Miami briefly before our cruise left the Port of Miami. We had only ever previously passed through and I know one day is not nearly enough, nor is two days to experience Miami, but we vowed to return and see some of the sights some time soon. I didn’t get any pictures of Little Havana which I regret. But we were in a van driving past it and the shots wouldn’t have turned out well out the window as we drove by. So perhaps another time. That gives me…
