It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago that I wrote about the house that was used as Buffalo Bill’s home in ‘Silence of the Lambs’ being for sale. Well, someone snatched it off the market and fixed it up and is now renting it out for overnight stays and I really want to …

If there was anything to put on a bucket list it should be visiting states at their peak fall foliage.

We all know about — and LOVE — the Starbucks Secret Menu. I’m sure you have tried at least one of the drinks, and hopefully you LOVED it. But, did you know there are other delicious places that have secret menus? One of my absolute favorite places to go and try secret and new yummies …

There is a secret drink at Epcot in Disney World — one of my favorite places on the planet — and it’s pure magic. Next time you are in the Mexico pavilion — 1st, you have to get yourself an Empanadas con Queso from La Cantina de San Angel — but the real star of …

Maybe you’ve wined and dined in a bubble dome during the cooler months, but have you ever had a full night’s sleep in one?

I saw an albino alligator once at the Dallas Zoo in Texas. It was hella cool! These pigment-less gators are so rare that you are lucky if you set your eyes on even one during your lifetime. People in Kenansville, Florida are lucky times two (five, actually, but I’ll get to that in a minute)!! …

Did you hear the news? Disney World is bringing back FastPasses! Woo-hoo!! Wait. Before you get too excited. They are going to be changing in a big way. A big, unpopular way. There was a seemingly useful app that was introduced to Disney Parks this fall. It wasn’t a fast pass, but it told you …

You can get a Tinker Bell treehouse, and I’m not too big for one, right? When I was little, I ALWAYS wanted a treehouse. But, way back then, nobody had even imagined a treehouse this cool! The first treehouse I fell in love with as an adult was this Maurice’s Workshop Treehouse. Can’t you just …

Starbucks Baristas are saying they are getting tired of making complex special orders that have tons of modifications. I totally see where they are coming from. It would be so much easier if they could just come in, make the drinks that are on the menu, and then go home. Especially since most Starbucks locations …

As if we needed more of a reason to take a vacay to Cabo San Lucas, this resort has 24-hour tacos and tamales. Trust me, the Grand Solmar at Rancho San Lucas resort has way more to offer, but they had me at tacos. *Heart Eyes Emoji* This resort is a whopping 834 acres in size, …

There is a NEW Monopoly game about to hit the shelves, and it happens to be a Target version. That’s right. They just combined my two favorite things: family game night and shopping at the best store in town — Target!! My family has a bit of a Monopoly obsession. We own far too many …

Hawaii is one state that seems to have gotten some control over the coronavirus. Why? It probably has something to do with the fact that they are isolated and basically all to themselves way over there in the west. While this can be a good thing, COVID also has the potential to run rampant throughout …

A lagoon that changes color is quickly turning into a tourist hotspot. The must see destination is named the Hutt Lagoon and this pretty lake isn’t your normal blueish color.

Now, I’m not usually a fan of bats. When I was growing up in the mountains of southern California, for some reason, I kept getting bats in my room — and I wasn’t all too happy about it. And, then I grew up, and learned there were things in Australia called Flying Foxes. Nope. Nope. …

I’ve found another thing to add to my growing bucket list. I thought I had it completed when I found the reindeer playing under the Aurora Borealis. I was wrong, I need to add seeing bioluminescent water in person to my list! Maybe I am late to this discovery, I mean I knew it existed. …

Gone are the days when we could just walk into a shopping mall, and take our kids to sit on Santa’s lap — at least for now. Luckily there is still a way to communicate with Santa Claus, and it’s easier than you might think. You can have your kid patch in straight to the …

I just got back from Walt Disney World for a quick anniversary trip. It was, of course, AWESOME. There are, however, some rookie things that we should have known, that we weren’t aware of.

Yesterday, I told you what arriving at Disney World was like. From the face masks, to the online ordering, and even to the sanitized rooms. It was all a bit different. But, yesterday’s hotel experience pales in comparison to the weirdness that was today’s adventure at Disney Springs (formerly Downtown Disney). So, usually at Disney …

I can’t remember the last time that I went anywhere or took a vacation. I could really use one and I’m sure you could too… it’s been a crazy year. What if there was a way to take a vacation and also escape all of the weirdness of the world right now? Sounds pretty good …

I just drove 10 hours to get to Disney World. I had to see what was going on with all the COVID changes, and y’all, it’s pretty different. We decided to come here for our 20th anniversary (without the kids!!). Really, I would have used ANY excuse to come down here, but this is as …

I’m getting ready to take my first road trip since the coronavirus debacle, and I’m a little freaked out. I’m jumpy, but it’s probably not for the reasons you are thinking.
