Do you watch any shows on YouTube? Since we got rid of cable several years ago, I rarely watch any television. We have Apple TV and Netflix, which allows us to rent movies for family movie nights. But when it comes to spontaneous TV watching, it just doesn’t happen much any more. Until recently, when I started picking up the iPad for some YouTube viewing. I know I’m late to the party (what’s new?), but I have really been enjoying some… Read more »

She blends modern with… Read more »

Up until that point, I was taking classes online in… Read more »
Exploring Downtown Gainesville
I recently spent several days exploring downtown Gainesville while my kids were attending science camp at the Cade Museum of Creativity and Invention. The weeklong day camp lasted from 9am-2pm, so instead of driving back to Ocala, I decided to stay in Gainesville during that time. I am so glad I did because I found several new (to me) spots to share with you today. While Gainesville is only 35 minutes from Ocala, it has such a different vibe. Because it… Read more »
