My family is on the edge of their seats waiting for the opening of the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Orlando. The opening is set as “Spring 2010″, which is pretty vague. That could be anytime in the next month to as far out as early May. The Wizarding World [...]

Family-Friendly Quebec City

admin — Thu, 04 Feb 2010 04:54:36 +0000

My first full day in Quebec City did not disappoint. I traveled in and around the city and visited some of the most popular family-friendly attractions. Two of the attractions were Parc de la Chute-Montmorency and Aquarium du Quebec. Both are suitable for children of all ages and were even budget friendly. While Quebec may seem [...]

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 20:53:13 +0000

I LOVE my Lug Shuttle Bus Weekender Travel Bag. I made a little video to show off my new bag, but really if you are looking for something to travel with on short weekend trips, this is it. In the video I refer to it as the “Weekender” but it is actually the “Shuttle Bus” Weekender [...]

Ville de Québec c’est Magnifique!

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 00:28:11 +0000

Quebec City is magnificent! I really cannot even begin to describe my whirlwind experience in Quebec City. It was everything I could have possibly imagined, and still better than expected. If you are new to my blog, I am a Florida native who had never seen snow until this past weekend when I visited Quebec City for [...]

Oh Canada! I’ve Arrived.

After a long day of flying I finally made it to Quebec City, Canada. The city is more beautiful than I ever imagined. It’s so French. I love it! Tonight I touched snow for the first time. It was sparkly, light, fluffy and magical! Totally worth the wait. Hopefully tomorrow I will get to play in [...]

Goodwill Nonsense AKA Leigh has bad taste when it comes to shopping Goodwill stores

admin — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 05:44:40 +0000

This post is for Leigh Caldwell, who convinced me to check out the Goodwill on Tamiami Trail because it was so awesome. I admit I’m not a Goodwill shopper. In fact, before today I can’t remember the last time I stepped foot in one. There is nothing wrong with Goodwill, it just isn’t on my mind [...]

First of all, do you know how hard it is to take pictues of a cat? I ran around the house for 30 minutes just to get a few fuzzy shots. Hopefully you get the idea, our cat is suddenly missing a ton of fur around her body. She is an indoor cat only, has never been [...]

Your Shape Challenge – Week 2

I didn’t lose any weight during the first week of the Your Shape Challenge. I am 100% sure it’s because I haven’t changed my diet. My Your Shape workouts are doing great. I am not bored and they have been challenging enough. I really like how the whole game is set up and each of my [...]

Mama’s Got a New…Passport!

admin — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 20:56:28 +0000

Just 7 days until my trip to Quebec City and I have it in hand! It was quite a process to get this baby in such a short time. I would not recommend waiting until the last minute as I did. However, if you need a passport quickly and are traveling within 14 days you can [...]
