Dreaming of the Weekend

This morning I put my Big S on the bus for his first day of first grade!  Little S has been wandering around the house since he left.  She sat on his bed and played with his cars for a bit.  Then she watched some TV (happily holding the remote which she nevers gets!).  I was able [...]

Dreaming of Movie and TV Locations

I am going to spill one of my travel secrets. 
I love to find television and film locations when we travel.  Any film.  Any television show.
 There I said it. 
Not only do I love to find television and film locations when we travel, but I photograph them.
And I film them.
I have stood on the hill in San Francisco where the [...]

Monday Dreaming – Appreciating What I Have in Front of Me

Today I am dreaming about appreciating what I have in front of me in my own hometown.  This post was inspired by a recent post at Dim Sum, Bagels, and Crawfish.  Lucia posted a picture of her holding some of the teeny tiny shells that she found on an Italian beach.  That picture called to [...]

Monday Dreaming of Swimming with the Manatees

Now that my kids are old enough to enjoy swimming but are still young enough to fear nothing (well, just about!), I would like to take a long weekend trip to Homosassa Springs to camp and swim with the manatees.  These gigantic sea cows lumber around the river and it is something that I would [...]

Monday Dreaming – Mobile Bay Jubilee Phenomenom

I have lived on the Gulf Coast for almost fifteen years but didn’t hear about this Gulf Coast phenomenon called the Jubilee until recently.  Once I did a little research on it, it promptly moved up my list of things that I want to see while I live on the Gulf Coast. 
The Jubilee is a [...]

Monday Dreaming of our 2010 Summer Vacation

Today I am dreaming about summer vacation.  My son has NINE days of school left.  Count ‘em with me…Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday…NINE.  Nine days of Kindergarten left.  The first school year will be tucked tightly under his belt and we will have survived having to get into a routine, a daily schedule [...]

Monday Dreaming: Clean Beaches on the Gulf Coast

Poseidon is angry. 

Whenever I see the ocean looking grumpy like this, it always makes me think of my favorite piece of literature, The Odyssey.  In the Odyssey, Odysseus maims Polyphemos, the cyclop and son of Poseidon.  This angers Poseidon and he makes Odysseus’ return home a long and difficult journey.  These waves might not look [...]

Mondays are for Dreaming: Type A Mom Conference – Asheville, NC

Today I am dreaming of the Type-A Mom Conference, a blogging conference where men and women join together to learn more about the business of blogging and all that goes into it.  This will be my first conference and I am very excited to attend.  It is a smaller conference than some of the others [...]

Monday Dreaming: More Photo Cutouts!

As I posted last week, we love photo cutouts.  My family will drop everything and demand to have their picture taken if they see a photo cutout.  By your comments (which I appreciate so much!), I have found that we are not the only family!  I would love for you to share your photo cutouts with me!  [...]

Dreaming of New Orleans

If you visit this blog regularly, you will know that I have dreams of New Orleans often!  My husband and I honeymooned for a week in New Orleans and we love to return any chance we get both without and with the kids!  It is just a few hours away so it makes for a [...]
