Last weekend I surprised Lily and 7 of her friends with a little staycation at the Opryland Hotel and Soundwaves waterpark. It was her 15th birthday and I feel like that sweet kid has had the same birthday “party” for the past 10 years. It’s always been at our house, in the pool…well because […]

If you’ve been following along, then you know a few weeks ago, Steve and I snuck off to Utah for a little getaway while our kids were on their own trips. One in Minnesota to stay with a family friend and the other on a class trip to Florida. Let me tell you, it was […]

As I type this you’re probably sleeping and I’m 30,000 ft. somewhere over Geneva (I only know that because the screen on my Delta monitor says so) So please excuse my typos it’s 2 in the morning somewhere.

So, after one of my amazing followers, MaryJo of Port2Palm (check […]

Well, better late than never. I was really hoping to get this post up long before now, but hey such is life right now… C R A Z Y.  Thanks for being patient, because I am beyond excited to share with you one of my best birthdays yet! It’s filled with a few snip-it’s about […]

If there is one thing my husband has learned over the years, it’s that I love birthdays AND surprises. Even better if the two coincide. And an extra cherry on top if there is a white sandy beach with beautiful clear water involved. Last year for my 40th Steve surprised me and our closest friends with […]

Well, I’m back. Back to reality, back to waking up to an alarm and making my own coffee. Ha! I mean seriously, we went from one vacation (adult trip to Cabo for my 40th) to another (St. Lucia with the kiddos). I’m not gonna lie.. reentry after being wined and dined for 3 weeks was […]

I’m going to put something out there, and it might sound over the top, but if you’ve been following for a while you know how important my marriage is to me, and to us. It is a worthwhile investment: Steve and I get away, together. Alone. Once a month. And let me tell you, it’s […]
