Breaking away from the day to day
It’s Back to School season. Let’s be honest, stores like Target have been showing school supplies since May! Although my kids may not be ready, it’s time to get out there and get those back to school must-haves in order for them to be “successful.” (Not sure that uniforms make them successful, but they are a…
This post is sponsored in partnership with Nationwide’s Make Safe Happen Program. All opinions are my own. Living in South Florida, we are surrounded by water. Forget the fact that the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico surround us, but in most neighborhoods, there are pools, lakes, canals or even ponds. Open water safety…
Summer adds a whole new challenge to my “to-do” list personality. Life is in a bit of a disarray in the summer since we kind of just “fly by the seat of our pants” without the rigorous schedule of school life. How do I try and stay organized? With a Summertime Planner of course! I know…
Spring has got to be my favorite season of the year. The warm sun mixed with the cool breezes. The pastel colors everywhere. There’s just something so lively about the spring. For many people, springtime is the first time they can actually get outside and start “defrosting” from their winter hibernation. Obviously, here in Miami,…
The flu is back in town! Flu season can always be troublesome for families, as we begin missing days of work and school due to the sickness that spreads like wildfire. Let me tell you, this exhausted mom is not a fan of anyone missing days from school or work! Typically, the cold and flu…

When I say that Little Ricky is a HUGE fan of science and math, it’s an understatement. He loves anything that has him working with numbers, equations, riddles, and building things. He says that he likes “when the answer is right there and it takes some time to figure it out.” My boys were recently invited…
A cruise is a great way to see different places around the world without having to find hotels or pack and unpack a million times. My husband and I have been on tons of cruises together, but were leery the first time we took the kids. Would there be anything for them to do? Will…
Hi. I’m Alexis and I’m a shopaholic. I’ll admit it. My husband will tell anyone who will listen. I’m not looking to go into a program to correct it anytime soon. The act of purchasing something, anything, brings me such joy…. Once I learned that I was pregnant for the second time and we found out the…
Ah….back to school! It really IS the MOST WONDERFUL time of the year! A time when we are back to schedules, order and routine. I’m hopelessly in love with new school supplies! I love the smell of new No. 2 pencils and the clean binders with fresh paper full of promise. Give me sticky notes,…
