Today I woke up immediately feeling a little down, off, not myself, etc. I think it comes from the fact that I have to go back to work in less than a week. I know I’m physically reacting to going back to work because for the past two nights, I’ve had very detailed dreams. These … Continue reading »

Day 25: Build-A-Bear, Break Your Wallet
Today we went to the mall to celebrate my youngest’s tooth falling out last night. Actually, we were spending the money the toothfairy left her, $20. I know, I know. I’m saving that for another post. But it wasn’t me…it was my husband! So we decided to go to Build-A-Bear for the first time. Of … Continue reading »
Day 24: Had Bubble Tea for the First Time
I’m not going to spend too much time on today’s post. My family and I went out to see the Zookeeper. But before that, we stopped by and ate lunch at the mall. So thirsty from the heatwave, I decided to try Bubble Tea for the first time. What is it? Bubble Tea is a … Continue reading »

Day 22: I Implore Everyone’s Advice on Starting a Vegetable Garden!
I won’t lie. Today we didn’t do much. Again, the heat wave made it miserable to go out. I think we went out to run a quick errand, but that was it. We stayed inside and hung out. I did however, manage to pluck 2 of tomatoes off of my one tomato plant I’ve been … Continue reading »
Day 21: Memories of Mama & Pastillas de Leche
Today was another heat wave day. We ventured out again prior to lunch to hit up the grocery store. It was already unbearable by then. We were going to watch a movie, but the kids didn’t enjoy stepping foot in the heat. The humidity is so terrible it feels like you can’t breathe! So we … Continue reading »
Day 20: Mini-golf in a Heat Wave
Like most of the country, Satan is on the weather map and the heat index is at ….basically it is at crazy level. In the south the humidity is insane and makes you feel like you can’t breath! Even worse, it makes my naturally wavy hair unbearable and I begin to channel Howard Stern. My kids were … Continue reading »
Day 19: My Determination to Make Wall Art Out of Shells
Whenever we go on vacation somewhere that is not “amusement-parky” (okay, I meant Disney), I have made it a tradition to bring something back home that can be used as an art piece in our house. I started this tradition on our honeymoon in the Caribbean. I mustered up the strength to go up to … Continue reading »
Day 18: Day of Rest…although it was Monday
This was our first day back from vacation. So of course, as a mother with a family, what do you think I was busy doing today? Laundry! I had about 5 loads of it. I had washed a lot of clothes at the resort, but something about traveling makes me want to disinfect everything once … Continue reading »
Day 17: Carriage Ride Through Historic Charleston
Today was our last day of vacation. However, we knew that one thing we had to do before we left was take a carriage ride through historic Charleston. Everyone we know who had been to Charleston said it was a must-do while here. Fortunately when I booked our resort through Expedia, I received a voucher for … Continue reading »
