Did everyone have a good 4th of July? My kids are still pretty little so they were zonked out by the time the fireworks went. BUT it was our first ‘suburban’ holiday and they had SUCH a great time. There was a parade, games, popsicles – it reminded me of my childhood (and reminded me […]
Well, it’s back to reality for us. We just spent a great vacation in the Bahamas with the family. I received some questions asking about the hotel, why we went there and if I could give my honest thoughts and I thought I’d share everything here along with a photo diary (all photos taken […]
