There’s No Place Like Home

Home is truly where my heart is.  I miss being away from my family, but I am so grateful that we have been able to see each other twice within the past three months.  My parents were in Atlanta during Memorial Day weekend, so I visited them and other family...

French Quarter

There is no place like New Orleans.  I get excited all over again every time I go.  We were just here during the Thanksgiving holidays with family and friends, but of course, I can never get enough of the N.O. You know I always have to stop here.  Cafe...

Fish by Jose Andres

On our first night in the Bahamas, we ate at Fish by Jose Andres. This restaurant was in The Cove, the hotel we reserved for our entire visit. I love the decor, the food, and the service in this restaurant. I also loved the convenience of it being in the hotel....

Lovin’ New Orleans

We always visit New Orleans during the holidays.  I love this city.  Many people think of partying when they think of New Orleans, but New Orleans has so much more to offer --- meeting wonderful people, eating delicious Cajun cuisine, shopping, art, and...

Loving Los Angeles, Part I

My husband and I love to get away at least every 3-4 months.  This month, we flew to Los Angeles and had a blast. Great eating and great times were nonstop during this trip.  I think it is always important to take time to spend with the ones...

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,...

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,...
