I couldn’t visit the Kissimmee/Orlando area without taking a detour to the beach. The pool and water parks are fine but my boys love the beach! If you have small kids, you know what I mean. So, we headed out to New Smyrna Beach, which is about a 90 minute drive from Kissimmee. It is […]
Outsourcing Travel Services: Where Do We Draw the Line?

The other day, hubs and I had a rare opportunity to sit down for an adults-only meal. We had free babysitting for a few hours, courtesy of my youngest’s therapy center (hooray for giving people). Date nights aren’t taken for granted around these parts – they get in where they fit in. It so happened […]
