Southern Byways

Okay, you know that I love anything that has chocolate in it… even if I can’t eat it. And this moisturizer is no exception. It has the texture that you can’t help but love, AND it has a hint of berries, which I’m hoping is raspberries. The company even packages it all into a heavy glass jar which will look gorgeous sitting in the bathroom. And in the deep south, your skin needs all the moisture that it can get. At least that’s my excuse!!

Well, I was going to tell you all about how Florida dried out my feet, but then I thought that maybe it would be a better post for Shopaholics Daily, so I posted it over there instead. But if you live in the southern states, (anywhere for that matter), you will probably want to know why I picked this particular topic to write about today. Not pretty, I’m afraid!
But here’s something that might be of more interest to you… did you know, and you probably do, but it just might help explain why I wrote the above post. I spent …read more

I have scheduled a week off just to play, but I’m taking you with me… at least virtually. I will be checking in with you daily to let you know where I’m shopping, what I’m eating and where I’m playing. And yes, I plan on doing a lot of playing while I’m down here. And that will very likely include a trip to Disney World. You simply can’t go to Florida and not go now… can you!!
And the malls… well, I hope that they are ready for me, because I packed extremely… light.

“You don’t want to get caught on the road (or on a plane, train or bus) without the right equipment in the case of an emergency, no matter how small. Why not take along a travel first aid kit as a precaution? We recommend packing the following items in an old lunchbox.”
Family Fun has set up a complete list of items that should go into this lunchbox. Definitely better to be safe than sorry. Here are a few items I specifically picked for that great holiday in the south. Did you notice the Pirate bandages?? That …read more

Lets face it… the last thing kids think about is whether or not they are protected from the sun. And all of those unprotected minutes all add up. This looks like an easy way to do it and I have a feeling that the kids will love coming up with new ways to use it!!

At the moment, I am working my way through the worst cold imaginable. I started feeling just a wee bit lousy last Friday, and each day has been getting worse and worse. Last night I found myself creeping down to the kitchen for another cup of ——- because I couldn’t sleep and I couldn’t breath. Real nice combination going on.
But the point of this post is to try to think of all the supplies you might need if you are on vacation and then find yourself feeling absolutely horrible. And you must know that you are going to feel ten …read more

But that is seldom the case. If anything, that is exactly the time when tempers flare, and suddenly you are exhausted. The problem is usually that you are so busy trying to pack everything into each day, that you are enjoying none of it.
That’s were a good cup of tea and a hand massage comes in very handy… yes, even while on vacation. Now if you can get someone else to do it for you even better, but lots of times I have simply sat looking out the window massaging every finger and joint of my hand. Or I …read more
