    March 16, 2016 - By

Life is short and you can’t hide away because of something medical that you can’t prevent. Embrace Spring and Summer Fashion Trends with LBL 2016 is your year!

    Managing Your Child’s Kik Account

    March 15, 2016 - By 

    If you have a tween or teen, chances are good their phones have a KIK account. KIK is a third party messaging app, that allows users to send texts and pictures outside of their phone’s native messaging system. One of the many problems with a KIK account is that it’s difficult to track messaging by normal means. It is a private texting app that, in my opinion, is not extremely necessary if messaging and texting via the usual channels. What is a KIK Account KIK is an app that allows texting and photo sharing outside of a phone’s stock messaging apparatus. That…

    March 11, 2016 - By 

    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…

    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…

To be 100 % honest with you lovely readers, I have not worked out where I will be, or what we will be doing. Travel blogger life means plans change often and that can very well be last minute. So I am sort of planning that there will be some staycation bits to March break and some travel bits tossed in there too. My tween and teen are looking forward to time off school. I am…
