There is something so wonderful about walking into a grocery store that has been designed with its customers in mind. This is why I absolutely love the new Giant Food in Olney, Maryland. This is a sponsored post. This has in no way impacted my opinion. All opinions expressed are my own. Yesterday, I was able to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony of Giant Food in Olney, Maryland.

#ParentingPlaylist
My 12-year-old daughter is the kindest teenager you will ever meet. She steers clear of drama and gossip and prefers to read books at home rather than going out with friends. If I had to pick our current parenting playlist it would be a classical duet. However, I know all this may change once she starts middle school next year. I want to keep the peace and harmony in our home so I am always on Keep Reading >>

When I was a kid I had several favorites that had me reading into the wee hours of the night with a flashlight under my covers. I loved to read and still do as an adult!

48 Hours on Oahu
It's true what they say about Oahu, it really is the gathering place. Most people stop off on Oahu on their way to other islands. What to do if you've only got a day or two? Of course there are the beaches, so many beaches. But there is so much more. We had only 48 hours on Oahu before joining the rest of the family on Kauai. My husband and I had lived on Oahu for the first two years of our Keep Reading >>
A Guide to Hawaiian Wildlife
No trip to Hawaii - regardless of the island - is without a few encounters with local wildlife. Some of the animals run rampant, some are protected, some are even endangered.

In fact, they've made the invasive species list. Keep Reading >>
