One of the great things about moving to a new area is getting to explore. If you’re a long time follower of this blog, you already know I make weekends an adventure even if we don’t leave our own city. Here are a few photos from a fun place we found in Cape Carteret, North Carolina called “MacDaddys.” MacDaddy’s –…

Our Home Sweet North Carolina Home
The boxes have arrived and the house is a great big mess but I thought I’d take a moment to share some of the beauty we have going on outside our home. I’ll work on sharing some of the inside photos in an upcoming post if I can get things together enough to make that happen. I can’t make any…

Outdoor Living in Coastal North Carolina
Hello, North Carolina! It’s been a whirlwind since arriving, but we are loving the weather here on the east coast of North Carolina, better known as the Crystal Coast.

We’re Moving But Apparently Not Today

We’re moving to North Carolina today” posts, except we’re apparently not moving today thanks to a huge screw up at U-Haul and another no-so-shocking bad customer service experience at Enterprise Rent-a-Car, Hialeah.

Things I See In My First Grade Classroom
This was Bella’s first real paragraph from First Grade. I’m so proud of my 6-year-old. I can’t believe she’ll be in Second Grade in August. Where does the time go?

How Your Local Business Can Use Social Media
I had the pleasure of attending two panels as a part of Social Media Week in Miami. Miami has a flavor like no other city and those in attendance for “Locally Social with Republica World” were as diverse as the city itself. “Locally Social with Republica World” panelists (Arlene Linares, Patricia Guarch, Josie Llado, Susset Cabrera, Danny Rivero), moderated by Will Freyre discussed how a…
