Last weekend we headed out on a little microadventure to the Kennedy Space Center. Having lived in Florida almost my whole life, I had never been. And if I have, it was so long ago I don’t even remember it. You don’t hear much talk about Kennedy Space Center, so I was not expecting to be blown away. But guess what? We were BLOWN AWAY. The park exceeded our expectations, and we learned a ton about the past, present and… Read more »

After we take down the Christmas decorations every year, I get so overwhelmed thinking of all the home projects that need to be done. Some of these things are simple, and others more involved. At this point, I typically write a long list of all the things we need to do around the house, and resolve to get them done in the coming year.
