Friday. Edition 21. I can't believe that I've already been back from the beach for a week! Time flies when you're a mama to three teens and new puppy! Time for my weekly round-up of faves! Surfboard Carrier. One of the items that my hubby found made his and Miss Sunshine's trip across the [...]

Oh My! We’ve Grown…
Oh My! We've Grown... No. I don't mean that I've grown from all the sweets and cocktails that I had while at the beach. Actually... paired with all the lounging around that I did, I might have. I'm still playing catch up on emails...so thanks for bearing with my slow responses! But the truth is... [...]
Quiet Reflections from the Beach
Quiet Reflections From The Beach. Carolina Beach, North Carolina. Today is Day 4 of our vacation at the beach. We are in Carolina Beach, North Carolina Sand dunes...sea oats...and salt marshes.

Chasing Sunset
I love a good sunset. But then again, who doesn’t? I grew up in Naples, Florida, a place famed for its sunsets on the beach. I also love to be behind the camera. When I am behind the camera, I am completely in the moment, not thinking about the future or the past, just in [...]
Random musings on a snowy day
Winter storm Jonas has descended upon us here in Virginia. Being the Florida transplants that we are, my daughter decided to turn the old soft top surfboard (which has rotated out of use) into a sled. Friday was a snow day and my kids fully embraced that. I, however, was fully awake at 6:30 A.M. [...]
