Alfred B. Maclay Gardens – Tallahassee, Florida

A few weeks ago, I took my two children on a short solo road trip to Jacksonville, Florida.  Tallahassee is the perfect spot for a bathroom and stretch break.  It is about half way to Jacksonville and there are plenty of gas stations and places to eat.  Unfortunately, whenever we make this drive we always make [...]

Dreaming of Beignets at the Cafe Du Monde – New Orleans, Louisiana

Hot. Powder sugary. Doughy. Fried. Goodness.

Why do I feel like the girl left standing all by her lonesome in the middle of the basketball court because no one wanted to pick her?  Or the girl that just found out that all of her friends went out for drinks last night but failed to invite her along?  Because.

One of the Oldest Churches in Florida – Late Photo Friday post!

I know, I know…it is Saturday!  Somehow, Friday came and left and I forgot to post my Photo Friday over at Delicious Baby. 
I learned something new about my hometown today.  While reading an announcement about Pensacola’s upcoming 450th Anniversary Bash on VisitPensacola, I learned that one of my favorite buildings, Old Christ Church, just happens [...]

Photo Friday-Shipwreck Island through my children’s eyes!

In the past couple of weeks, I have read some great blog posts about mamas giving their kids the camera.  We often let our kids take pictures on our trips, but I have never posted any of them.  When we went to Shipwreck Island in Panama City this weekend, we gave our kids the disposable waterproof [...]
