Tis the Season

Lots of seasonal fun happening over here the last few weeks - boat rides, visits to see Santa, birthday celebrations, Sprinkles the Elf has returned, a visit to a fluid art studio, baking, and of course all things Christmas prep. This season goes by WAY too fast!The day after Thanksgiving, we were treated to an afternoon aboard a dolphin catamaran sail with Cocoa Beach Catamaran. It was so relaxing, we saw tons of dolphins, and then we enjoyed lunch in the cruise port. (Full recap reel of our boat...

It's all in the stuffers

Am I the only one who gets super excited about Christmas stockings? I love the mini goodies, and of course am always happy for some hot cocoa bombs or a mini bottle of bubbles. Some of my favorite stuffers are every day things like a good hand cream in the dryness of winter, fun makeup palettes, nail polish, eye masks, a new toothbrush, and coffee mugs (can never have too many).This year I'd love to see a waterproof pouch for my phone to take on water slides or fun excursions while traveling,...

Hello November

We are almost halfway into November, and Thanksgiving will be here before we know it. I never came back for an update on how everything went with Hurricane Milton. Thankfully, we had minimal damage on our screen enclosure around the pool and lost power for 2 days. We were extremely lucky to say the least. Before the storm we finally indulged in the fall coffee flights at a local coffee shop, and checked out a new-to-us local brewery that has a DELISH food truck on-site. I don't typically order...
