Pumpkin Spice Steamed Milk

I usually don't like pumpkin spiced drinks. The ones that I've gotten at coffee shops are always too thick, too syrupy, and leave a weird after-taste in my mouth. So, I have to admit that I wasn't super excited when my daughter, Audrey, asked me to try her pumpkin spice…

Thinking of a Family Road Trip? Just Do It

We had always wanted to take an epic, cross-country, family road trip.  Unfortunately, there was always some reason we didn't plan one.  We had other obligations or some other lame excuse. In the end, I think we were nervous about spending too much time together in an enclosed space. Is…

Swimsuit Season: Our Favorite One Piece Swimsuits

I've always prefered bikinis.  Mainly because it's always been hard for me to find one-pieces that fit properly.  I'm 5'11, so yeah, I'm on the taller side.   Most one piece swimsuits tend to run short.  This makes it especially hard to find one that fits if you have a longer…
