Breaking away from the day to day
Living in Miami, we are a “stone’s throw” away from Orlando: the mecca for family entertainment. Since we are so close, it’s an easy way for my family to travel on a weekend getaway. With the summer months being so HOT, it’s fun to visit a waterpark in order to get the thrills of rides,…
Orlando, Florida is home to over a dozen amusement parks. Since Orlando is only a quick 4 drive from Miami, my guys love heading to Universal Studios for a quick and exciting getaway. Universal Orlando has several on-site resorts that are steps to the entrance to the parks. One of the most beautiful is the…
Orlando is a quick road trip from Miami, that’s why we tend to head north when going on a quick getaway. Not to mention, Orlando seems to be the kids’ mecca with Disney World and Universal Studios located there and we are sure to have family fun every time we go. As an exhausted mom,…

Taking a trip for a birthday is WAY cheaper (and less stressful) than throwing a party for 10-20 kids and their parents, all the while having to be the…
Harry Potter fans rejoice! Universal Studios Orlando is adding on to their famed Wizarding World of Harry Potter attraction area. When the resort unveiled Hogsmeade and Hogwarts Castle in Universal’s Islands of Adventure in 2010, millions flocked to be emerged in Harry’s world by roaming the streets and exploring classrooms at Hogwarts, as well as…
**Disclaimer: This post is sponsored. Although I was treated to dinner, all opinions are completely my own.** So the other night, after a very HOT yoga class, some local bloggers worked up an appetite. We went to dinner at this cozy little restaurant, d.b.a/cafe located in the Union Planters Plaza in Ft. Lauderdale. My…
Since my husband is the Exhausted Dad, one of the ways he likes to relax is by deep sea fishing with his friends. When we first started dating, he would go every weekend. Lately, it hasn’t been as frequent as it once was, but he still goes every chance he gets. His family tells stories…
