    Best Things To Do & See In Colorado!

    08/23 / No Comments

    Colorado, one of the greatest vacation destinations in the world! We had the pleasure of living there for four years and we loved every minute of it! We moved back to the East Coast last year so our little one could grow up with family but will definitely take him back to his birthplace and let him enjoy some of the great things we did while there. So there are the typical things that are a must do, but there is so much that is overlooked if you aren’t a local. This list combines the local spots as well as the touristy but in my mind are amazing and totally…

    08/16 / 1 Comment

    Hey y’all, Tanya with The Mama Life! Welcome to Georgia! Georgia is our home now and I absolutely love it here. We moved here from North Carolina, which is home, a few years back.

We are centrally located to the mountains and the beach and conveniently have the worlds largest airport too! It is a perfect vacation destination as there is something for everyone. So let’s get to the fun stuff!   Georgia,…

    Summer Series: Must Do’s In My State, California Pt 2!

    07/26 / No Comments

    Sacramento, the capital of California, is not a common vacation spot. When people think of California, they imagine Los Angeles, San Francisco or Napa Valley. Growing up in the Sacramento suburbs I never thought of my hometown as a travel destination. Why would someone want to visit this area? However, as the saying goes, distance makes the heart grow founder. Now that I’ve moved out of the area I can see why Sacramento is a great place for a vacation. Here’s my top reasons to visit Sac Town. By Kristen Kehl of Hello Minder Food. Sacramento is known as America’s Farm to Fork Capitol. Hundreds of acres of farm land…

    Summer Series: Must Do’s In My State, Alabama!

    06/28 / No Comments

    Hey y’all, I’m Beth from Alabama and I’m here to tell you…it’s not what you think.  Go ahead. Think about every stereotype you’ve ever heard or assumed about Alabamians. We talk slow, love sweet tea, say funny things like “y’all” and  “bless your heart.” You might even assume a few of us are what you call “rednecks” down here. Guess what? You’re right about everything! But…give us a chance. There’s more going on down here than you think!
