Loving Los Angeles, Part II

The past week in L.A. has been awesome.  I was hosted by Terranea (www.terranea.com), L.A.'s Oceanfront Resort, for my wonderful spa treatment.  I love beautiful places and the Terranea Resort was no disappointment.  Terranea...

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,...

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...

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...

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....

Miraval Resort & Spa, Part I

The hubster and I decided to get away and leave reality behind.  We did just that by going to Miraval Resort & Spa. I have heard so many wonderful things about this resort, so I always wondered, "What's the big deal?" Oprah and Gayle went on a retreat here,...

Shades of Gray

Mandeville, Louisiana is a beautiful little city with cute shops, lake views and good food.  I visited with some friends while in Mandeville and we had a great time.  While I was there, I went to Lake Pontchartrain to take some pictures before heading...

Seafire Steakhouse at Paradise Island

Seafire is one of those restaurants you really need to try and get a reservation for instead of just trying to walk in. We reserved an evening at Seafire and really had a great time. I don't eat beef and pork, but my husband loves steak. My husband chose the New York...
