Our south Florida vacation video!
I carved out some time on Sunday to FINALLY finish our south Florida vacation video! It includes scenes from Ft. Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, West Palm Beach and Miami. Palm trees, sunshine, flip flops, the beach… I miss it so much, especially looking outside my window right now at the dreary rain. Putting this video together [...]
Fun In the Sunshine State – Days 10 & 11
Yesterday, when I saw many family members and friends back home lament on Facebook about the SNOW in Rhode Island, I was very grateful for yet another beautiful, sunny, 80-degree vacation day. I know that I’ll be returning to that weather tomorrow, but it reminded me to REALLY ENJOY this weather I while I could. [...]
Fun In the Sunshine State – Days 5, 6, 7, 8 & 9
So… I have been scarce around here, haven’t I? We’ve been enjoying our vacation and have been spending more time outside than online, which, I suppose, is how it should be. The previous five days here have been much like the first four I documented… beautifully warm, sunny and enjoyable. On Thursday Brian and I [...]
Fun In the Sunshine State – Day 4
It’s time for bed… it’s late, Brian is already sleeping and all the lights are off in the condo. It’s not all darkness, though; there’s the light from my laptop, of course, but also the rotating glow from the lighthouse beacon in the near distance. It is quite beautiful and soothing. I love working late [...]
Fun in the Sunshine State – Day 3
OK, so today Brian and I didn’t do much but sit by the pool and enjoy the GORGEOUS weather. However, we did work out early in the morning, so we weren’t totally unproductive. Brian ran 6.5 miles and then I met him at the community aquatic center (which has an incredible Olympic-sized pool) and we [...]
Fun In the Sunshine State – Day 2
I love gaining an extra hour of light in the evenings courtesy of Daylight Savings, but the first day is always tough for me, knowing I’m losing an hour of sleep. I had gone to bed after midnight last night, so when Brian woke me up at 8:45 a.m. this morning I couldn’t get over [...]
Fun In the Sunshine State – Day 1
Brian and I arrived in Florida today for 12 days of fun and sun. I brought my laptop, of course, so I’ll be getting some work done while we’re here, but the main objective of this vacation is to, well, be on vacation. I’ve mentioned before that Brian is one of the hardest working people [...]
What to Wear While Traveling

What to Wear While Traveling. Sometimes it’s not always easy to come up with the “perfect” outfit, especially if you’re flying. I recently just came home from Orlando, FL. It wasn’t too crowded there because it was the week before Holiday break for a lot of kids, but the security lines were still SO LONG. [...]
My weekend as a Mainiac
Years ago, in the late ’80s, after skiing for many winters in Rangeley, Maine, my parents decided to take us kids there for a summer vacation. They loved spending winter weeks and weekends with us in that little town, and had heard that the summertime was equally appealing. I was about 8 years old and [...]
Testing out the Bergan ASPCA Pet Harness
This weekend, thanks to Collective Bias, I was able to try something that I’ve been meaning to try for awhile… a pet harness for the car. With 3 dogs, I hate the thought of them roaming around in the back of the car, especially if I have to stop short. Tansy tried out the Bergan [...]
