One day this week my daughter had a Jr. high School softball double header (last games of the season) followed by Continue Reading

What’s Cooking? Enjoy a Virtual Food Crawl #InDestin
I have to admit that one of my favorite parts about traveling is the food. Not only am I excited that I don't have to cook for my loved ones but that I can enjoy local cuisine not available in my own hometown.

The Following is a sponsored post. All opinions are my own & can not be influence in any way. Losing weight is something that I have been working on for several years.
