I recall loving the ocean when I was little. Except for the salty taste on my lips after I went swimming. And all the sand in our car. Maybe I did not like it as much as I thought I did. I mean, I liked it, but I didn’t really appreciate it. My parents enjoyed going…
Faces and Places of Mom 2.0 & Some BIG News!
Florida is a magical place. The Ritz Carlton is even more magical. The most magic though, is found in my friends. Writers, influencers, go-getters, travelers, drivers, down-right passionate people. The last session I attended at Mom 2.0 2017 was small and intimate, and those of us in the room dug a little deep, while…
Beach Babes
Walking along the beach this morning my friends and I saw so many little sand dollars. I hope this is a good omen. We brought some upstairs to our friends, who did not go walking with us, so they could bring them to their kids. We also left some of them there on the sand, for…
Be Jealous
I’m going here this weekend so I am going to skip #NaBloPoMo for the weekend. It’s time to relax a little. Y’all can read the other stuff I have already written this month, while I am gone. I am sure you have some catching up to do… (I don’t even know who I…
New Roads
Last weekend I took a little trip to a fairly familiar place; a city I’ve visited to a few times before. This place is known for its culture and a famous hurricane in 2005 . It’s known for the food (and drink) and these delicious things called beignets. It backs up to the great Mississippi River and it’s…
Twelve Hundred Miles
I put over 1200 miles on my mom van last week. The purpose of the first leg of the trip was to pick up the oldest at camp. The rest of the trip was full of friends and family. And water. LOTS of water. Road trips are second nature for me now. I’ve been driving…
Redefining at Mom 2.0
“I have what I call ‘moments of great gumption’”. – Meredith Sinclair “All I have to be is me.” – Allison Slater Tate “Allow your schedule to be altered.” – Danielle Walker “For tweets – it should be something you would say to your friend.” – Kj Dell’Antonia These are not my words. They are…
Ocean = Life
When we went to Moody Gardens (this is NOT an ad post, I already did that, I’m just telling a story…) we saw a documentary on the IMAX screen there about life at the very deepest depths of the ocean. It was done by Jacques Cousteau’s son and it was some of the…
Back at the Beach
My kids are spoiled. I don’t mean it like they are spoiled brats, I just mean that I had it a tad rougher when we visited the beach when I was a kid. Instead of just trekking it down the elevator and over the boardwalk to get to the beach, we had to drag our things…
What Was Your Favorite Part?
This was the question we kept asking each other while on our family vacation to Universal and Orlando last week. Each day, we would review what our favorite ride or moment of the day was. By the time we were driving away from the waterpark on Saturday evening, all six of us (my MIL joined…
