Hurricane Safety Kit

It's Hurricane season and we always have to be prepared living in Florida. A tropical storm can turn into a category 4 hurricane overnight or fizzle into just some heavy rain. You never really know the exact outcome and strength of the storm until it hits your particular city/zip-code/neighborhood. The hit can be that precise so better safe that sorry.

Hello June: Life Lately

May came and went pretty quickly (like the rest of the year it seems) so I wanted to share some happenings from May and a few tidbits from the weekend.

The Weekend When I lost 24 Hours of My Life

The 3-day weekend was a nice break, albeit I was in bed sick for a good portion of it. We had our friend from Boston visiting Thursday through Saturday so the guys golfed while I was at work on Friday and then we had a fun pool day on Saturday.

Sunny Weekend & Wedding Vibes

The last few weekends have been very low key so it was nice to head over to Florida's west coast for a beautiful wedding, fun with friends, and lots of sunshine.

Easter Weekend in SW Florida

It was nice having Good Friday off of work so we could head south towards my in-laws and enjoy a long weekend with Lola in tote. I took very little photos but I think we accomplished a lot on this quick trip visiting friends and family along with new babies and new homeowners.

Things I'm Looking Forward to in April

Oh hey April Fool's Day! You could have fooled me that it's already April but I'm looking forward to Spring Things and some of the simple pleasures in life this month...

Pints n' Paws Craft Beer Festival

We've been trying to go to the Pints n' Paws Craft Beer Festival every year but we're either out of town or already have plans. This weekend we finally made it to the 8th Annual event.

Sunny Weekends + Celebrations

Another fun weekend for the books. I did some self-care on Saturday morning aka a very long overdue mani and pedi. K and I then headed over to Boxi Park which just opened up in Orlando.

January Happenings

February crept on us quickly but I'm not complaining. Since I can't seem to blog as consistently as I'd like, I wanted to round up all things that happened in January.

Celebrations
We hosted a NYE party so technically that was the beginning of January. It was a blast ringing in 2019 with champagne, fireworks, and friends.

Florida Living - Rain or Shine

It was a dreary weekend here in Central Florida with lots of rain. 

On Friday night we ordered pizza and attempted to watch Life of The Party with Melissa McCarthy however I fell dead asleep 15 minutes into the movie. This is what most Friday nights seem to look like recently.

2018 Year Recap: January - April

At the end of every year I love to recap and remember all the highlights and adventures that happened during the year. A life document and travel diary of sorts.

Thanksgiving Long Weekend

I loved every minute of the 4-day weekend and managed to take zero photos of the Thanksgiving spread except for some desserts which my SIL's dog ended up getting into.

Fall Corn Maze Adventures

Super fun Saturday with friends and their kiddos getting lost in a corn maze. It only took me 34 years to finally experience this fun Fall tradition, and we had a blast navigating through the maze mostly with little Max leading the way.

Life Lately + Giveaway

Since the weekend was pretty uneventful (which I'm not complaining about), I thought I'd check in with a life lately update.

September Happenings

A new week and a new month start today. I welcome October but it feels like September flew by in a blink of the eye. Looking back at everything that happened the last few weeks, it's evident time truly flies when you're having fun.

This weekend was a quiet one so I'm sharing all the things that happened in September including some tidbits from the weekend.

Neighborhood Pool Bash + Birthday Brunching

Before all the kids start school this week, our neighborhood organized a community pool party with a DJ, Food Truck, and Ice Cream Truck to all get together on Saturday.

Water Sports and Sunshine

I'm looking like a lobster today but it was worth all the fun we had yesterday boating and wake boarding/wake surfing with friends. I shared some videos on SnapChat (emilyalisonb).

4th of July + Weekend Vibes

With the 4th of July falling on a Wednesday this year, going back to work on Thursday felt like Monday 2.0 but the saving grace was that Friday was just a day away.

Weekend Recap

If getting lots of rest and sleeping in on the weekend is your idea of fun then I had a blast! It was relaxing all around with some ventures out to a new restaurant/bar in our area on Saturday and then lounging by the pool of Sunday.

Long Weekend Rain and Some Shine

Since our return from the Cuba cruise on Wednesday last week, we were in need of a low key weekend to relax and get stuff done around the house. Plus with the weather forecasted to be rainy all weekend, we kept our plans at minimum.
