They request food and do not eat it. I buy them clothes and they do not wear them. And sometimes it is annoying when people speakContinue reading “Kids”
Universal Guide 🎡🎢
A few years back, pre COVID (since that is how we measure things nowadays), I brought my kids to Universal. It was one of the first trips I’d brought them on as a single mom and it felt big. But I ended up with my first ever huge migraine, out of nowhere, and was soContinue reading “Universal Guide 🎡🎢”
TreeUmph Review
Today my family visited TreeUmph in Bradenton, Florida for the first time. It is an ingenious collection of ropes courses set among the trees in rural inland Florida.
