    The Palms of Destin Review

    January 9, 2014 - By 

    A couple of weeks ago I posted about my first impressions of The Palms of Destin in my post Destin Florida – Day 1. Now that I am back from my vacation I wanted to take some time to write a full review of The Palms of Destin because I want my readers to know about this place. I’ll start by saying we really enjoyed our stay in our condo. The 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom condo had plenty of room for my family of four. Both bedrooms had really comfortable king size beds and plenty of closet and dresser space…

    New Year’s Resolution – Become a Better Runner

    December 27, 2013 - By

I would consider myself an average (well maybe below average if you count my lack of running because of the holidays) runner. I want to become a better runner. I’ve run some 5k’s, but I would love to work myself up to be able to run a 10k or even a half marathon. Talking with my Air Force brother yesterday has me reinspired to reach these goals. He gave me some tips on how to help…

    December 25, 2013 - By

I’m going to let you all know about where we are staying and the places we are seeing and eating at this week. I’ll start by saying it’ absolutely beautiful down here even with the cold weather (yes, it gets cold down here in Florida). So with all the beauty surrounding us it’s hard to write a bad review, but some stuff (or…

    School Christmas Parties on a Budget

    December 20, 2013 - By 

    This is my first year a room parent chair. My first major responsibility of the year happened today, the class Christmas party. I’ve gotta say even though I was stressed about it and worried I wouldn’t have enough for the kids to do it went perfectly. And best of all I managed to have the party with very little money out of my pocket (this is mainly thanks to the extraordinary amount of help from the other parents in the class). I was so busy playing with the kids that I’m sad to say I didn’t get a chance to…

    Touch n Sing App Revew

    December 3, 2013 - By 

    I was recently contacted by an application developer and asked to try out their app, Touch ‘n Sing. This fun app came recommended to ages 2-6. My 3 year old is constantly trying to steal our iPad and Nexus 7 so I figured I would give it a try to see how he liked it. I installed the free app on my Nexus 7. With the free installation you get 3 free songs, The Alphabet Song, Hokey Pokey and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. The apps bright colors immediately held my sons attention. He favorite song by far (and mine as…
