When you combine perfect weather, friends, entertainment and literally fried everything, how could you not have a good time? This was my experience at the Florida State Fair. Greeted by colorful attractions and the most amazing smells of sweet and salty, I knew it was going to be a memorable day. As a Florida State Fair newbie, here are some of my recommendations for getting the most out of your day at the fair. First of all, arrive early. I left…
Let’s face it, the holidays are here. I’ve come to terms with the fact that it is impossible to prepare for their sudden arrival, so instead of stressing over it, I am just going to go with the flow and enjoy it. Starting with this fun holiday recipe I found on Corks + Cheers blog. Your holiday guests will be so impressed when you hand them a cold glass of wine in an Apple Wine Glass. How to make your…

Happy New Year, everyone! The holidays sure did fly by this year; I think because in general, we are just getting busier and busier. I think that’s why I enjoy TopGolf so much, and the fact that I’m actually pretty good at it.

Now when I say dirty, I mean dirty. Covered in mud, dust, sweat, sunscreen, bug spray and a wonderful fragrance of rotten eggs. Does that begin to paint a lovely picture for you? While this might sound horrible, it was actually a pretty exciting day. During our recent trip to Cozumel, Mexico aboard Royal Caribbean’s Empress of the Seas, we booked an ATV Excursion to Jade Caverns. It was a whole new side of Mexico I had not seen before. We sped…
Between birthday celebrations, anniversaries, a wedding and just some good old R&R, I feel like I’ve been on the go more this summer and any summer prior. And I'm definitely not complaining about that. Travel is my passion. One of a unique places I visited this summer—Paris, Texas. It's a small town in Northeast Texas, about 2 hours from Dallas. …
Lately, I’ve been on the go a lot. Between weddings, anniversaries, family visits, it’s been awhile since I’ve had a quiet weekend at home. It was nice to not have any sort of plans or schedule this weekend and just play it by ear, exploring our own back yard. First up, Greenwood Urban Wetland Park. This beautiful oasis is plop in the middle of Downtown Orlando, but surprisingly quiet and peaceful. Thanks to the recent drought, water levels were surprisingly…
