LOL, you’re probably wondering about the post title of this one! I never tire of telling this story, and most people that know my husband are kind of surprised when they hear it.

Before we started homeschooling I really wondered if we could do it. It hasn’t always been easy, there have been plenty of days where we all have been ready to throw in the towel. But we’ve persevered through those challenges and we know coming out the other side that this journey has been worth it for our family.

Well summer is over, but that doesn’t mean we have to leave the tastes of summer behind right? I love the flavors of paradise – tropical fruits like mangoes and pineapples and some coconut too!

This might not be low fat, but it sure is delicious. If you close your eyes and sip this Paradise Milkshake, you might imagine you’re lounging beside the pool.

Today marks a day in the United States of memoriam and great sorrow. It’s slightly uncanny that on that day 11 years ago, a film crew was capturing the scene where 90 years earlier nearly 1500 people also lost their lives in a tragic event, the sinking of the Titanic. Over a hundred years later, we can see through the eyes of James Cameron and his friend Bill Paxton (who incidentally played the character of Brock Lovett, a famed treasure hunter that was known for searching for sunken ships for articles of value, in the motion picture Titanic) as they explore what remains of this luxurious ocean liner.
