San Diego

I spent some quality time in San Diego with my family, and we had a blast hanging out together.  Although this was the first Mother's Day without my beautiful mom, it wasn't a sad day at all.  I just thanked God for the family He has given me, cherished...

Back Porch Destin

We took the kids to the beach for fall break. The beach always translates to good local seafood restaurants. You don't eat cheeseburgers at the beach. You eat seafood. A family friend told me about The Back Porch, a Seafood and Oyster House in Destin. We arrived just...

A Romantic Getaway

For our anniversary, my husband planned a romantic getaway to the Ritz-Carlton at Dove Mountain and we had a blast!  Anyone who knows me knows that I love the Ritz-Carlton.  They offer the best service, and although I know there are other hotels that have...

Happy Birthday to Me!

I am one year younger and I am so thankful for the years God has given me.  I stand on Psalm 91:16, "God will give me long life and show me His salvation."  For my special day, I hung out with my husband.  We watched Jumping the Broom, which was an...
