One of the biggest perks of living in Tampa is living in a city where there is so much to do. Coming from a smaller city that didn’t have professional sports, events, beaches, and endless things to do we are absolutely loving that our weekends are always packed with things to do.

One of the things I was most excited about when moving to Tampa was being within driving distance to Disney World. To me, Disney is one of the happiest places and being there always fills me with joy! Of course, while living in a pandemic we wanted to wait until we felt safe and comfortable […]

As evidenced in my past blog posts we’ve spent a few weekends exploring St. Petersburg! St. Petersburg has so much artistic charm I’m inclined to describe it as eclectic. There are endless bars, restaurants, parks, museums, and painted murals on sides of buildings that it’s going to take us many weekends to even scratch the […]

February has been another busy reading month for me! One of the favorite parts of my day is sitting out on my balcony with a good book. There’s a large tree in front of our house that has leaves that rustle in the breeze. Birds like to fly in and sit on the branches chirping […]
