Miraval Resort & Spa, Part II

I participated in some activities (other than the spa) while at Miraval. We went hiking if you can believe that.  If you come to Miraval and you are not a local, you need to go hiking or do some of the other outdoor activities.  Matt has always wanted to go...

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...

Lagniappe Restaurant at Amelia Island

Today was a great day with the family. My oldest and I hung out at the beach and then we hopped in the truck and drove over to Kingsley Plantation, which we'll talk more about later. Kingsley was a plantation owner who went to Africa, brought back an African princess,...

Marina Village at Atlantis

During our stay at Atlantis, we spent a lot of time at Marina Village. Marina Village has beautiful shops, local artists, and great restaurants. They also have Ben & Jerry's, which my kids loved. This is the most expensive Ben & Jerry's I have ever visited....

Beale Street Blues

I have had an amazing week.  I traveled to Memphis, Tennessee where I had a blast with my childhood best friend.  I also traveled to Mississippi to visit my family and I did not want the week to end. I arrived at the airport as my flight was boarding, which...

Bayou Classic XXXVIII – New Orleans

Attending the Bayou Classic is a tradition for my husband's family.  All of us are Southern University graduates, so we share the same love for our alma mater.  This year, we attended the Bayou Classic in New Orleans at the Superdome together.  Although...

Quarter View Restaurant

My family and I just got back from New Orleans and Mississippi.  I thank God for family and friends who make life so sweet even in the midst of hardship.  I especially enjoyed this trip because of the good food and the good times.  I was rather nervous...

VRBO at Amelia Island

Friends, you already know where I love to rest my head when I leave town. Yes, I love the Ritz Carlton, but this time, it was just not the best option for me and my family. We were going to be visiting the island for 5 days. Five days in a confined space with two kids...

SUMMIT One Vanderbilt

When I was in New York years ago, the Empire State Building was the attraction of tourists. There are still many tourists who want to experience the Empire State Building, but SUMMIT is the best thing, in my opinion, for kids. The Empire State Building does have a lot...
