Leave a Legacy

A couple of weeks ago, I chartered a yacht and cruised down the Tennessee River with some amazing women who always inspire me to be the best.  I know it has been a while since I sat at this computer and wrote a blog, but I've been doing some...

Amelia Island Board Rentals

I found Amelia Island Board Rentals when I Googled fun things to do on Amelia Island. This was the highlight for my kids. The entire family skateboarded on the beach, and we had a blast. Hugh, the owner, took beautiful pictures of us as we skateboarded on the beach....

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made

My kids love the skating rink. My oldest is done after about 45 minutes, but my youngest can skate all day. I usually go with the family and sit and watch everyone skate, but my little sister has gotten into skating. I decided to join the skating crew. Here I am...

Friday’s Favorite Finds

I have some fabulous finds that I wanted to share.  I have always been a fan of Circle E candles, but I haven't been able to find them in Arizona.  I guess it's a Southern thing.  However, my friend Regina introduced me to VoluSpa candles, which are oh...
