Recently I had the pleasure of going on a trip to Florida to explore the Emerald Coast and Pensacola areas. I had a few days at each location to explore and enjoy the sights, food and amazing people. I've written about my Emerald Coast adventure which you can see by clicking the link above and today I'm happy to share with you my impressions of Pensacola and why I'm eager to bring my family with me on a return trip.

Florida’s Emerald Coast – aka Heaven
Living in Ontario, there are many of us who are avid travellers and it's quite common to head for the warm sun in Florida. I've been travelling to Florida since I was a child and had NO idea that I'd been missing out on a bit of paradise in Florida's Emerald Coast!

I’ve been a customer ...

Fern Resort – Connecting With My Tweens
My daughters are now 10 and 12 years old and I have officially entered the Tween zone! This is an area I wasn't prepared for...I thought I knew what to expect at each stage of parenting but this Tween-dom has me perplexed. Gone are the days when I was interesting; no longer do I get gazes of rapture as I instruct them...now I am firmly into the bored glances as I talk to them and dismissive waves. These days my girls have their own schedules and getting them to take time out to bond with me can ...
