The Adventures of Celia Kaye Book & Giveaway

 One adventure that I never thought I would take would be going gluten free with my family. But when it comes to the health of your family you will easily go on any adventure that comes your way. It is easier for children to go on these adventures then adults in my opinion because children haven't had all the years to become so dependent on certain foods.

Nielsen-Massey Vanillas (Brownie Recipe)

 

One thing that I have always loved is baking for my friends and family. I love experimenting with new flavors and recipes. Nielsen Massey Vanillas allow me to do just that with my baking. I love all the different flavors of vanillas and extracts that Nielsen Massey offers. I also have to say that their Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla is delicious one of my favorites. I recently received their Pure Chocolate Extract to try and made gluten free brownies using. (Recipe Below) The brownies came out delicious, moist and perfect.

Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo

 

Recently on our trip to Florida we got to go and visit Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo. I remember going to this zoo as a child and loving it then. It has changed a lot in the 20 years since I have been there but only in a good way. We were hoping that the rain wouldn't hit us while we were there but it did. Which most people would think would cool things off... nope not in Florida. But that's OK the kids loved getting wet and acting silly in the rain.

Florida, Florida, Florida

 

Well since our family vacation for this year is over I have already started to plan our trip for next year. I am sure you can guess where it will be too... This trip not only will be a vacation but also Jake and I's time to scope out some areas of possibly moving to. I grew up in Bradenton, FL and loved it my mom owns a home in Hudson, Fl though she is currently in Ohio with me. I never dreamed that it would be 20 years before I would be able to step foot in Florida again and I must say it has been a long 20 years.

With planning our trip one thing I will be looking into are flights to Tampa. Though we will be staying south of Tampa it is easier to fly into there and drive down the rest of the way. It also gives me an excuse to visit my cousin in Tampa and take the kids to visit some really cool places also. Can you feel my excitement?? I am about ready to just jump in my car and head for the airport I am so ready to be on this trip.

Doesn't that picture look awesome?? Oh how I love Florida and all the fun and sun that goes along with it. This next year will be longest I am sure just because I am so excited about this trip and I hope that it will end up being a trip that can make my dreams come true.

Newly Renovated Hotel Breakers {Sandusky, Ohio}

 

Anyone who knows me knows that I am not a fan of living in Ohio, but there are some perks to living here. One being that we are close to Cedar Point, The Roller Coaster Capital of the World! My husband and oldest son absolutely love roller coasters and are always trying to get me on them. They were thrilled when they found out about Rougarou, a new floorless roller coaster.
