Bacardi Rum Factory Bob is a rum collector --- not sure if he is connoisseur status yet but he does have quite the number of bottles in our bar. So while during our trip to Puerto Rico a rum tour was an absolute must! Of the tours on the island but we decided to go with the oldest, the Bacardi Rum Factory aka Casa Bacardi. Bacardi Rum Factory Have you ever looked at a bottle of Bacardi rum ... Read More Here...

Click here to get your Poise liner free sample and they can have your back too. :-) In May I had some lovely kidney stones visit me again... and again... and again.

Living in the northwest area of Las Vegas often gets an eyebrow raised as most people prefer to live in Henderson or the Summerlin area. Not me! I want to be near the mountains, above the The Strip for awesome views, and large lots for homes. Yes, it's a bit more "rural" than other parts of town but that is A-OK with this family as we enjoy the amenities that come along with living here. One ... Read More Here...
Bob makes some amazing black beans and after looking at their website, looks like they took his recipe! LOL This black bean recipe is great wrapped inside a tortilla, as a side dish, or on a salad. This is another recipe I used for our Chipotle Burrito Bowl copycat recipe for dinner the other night - use these ingredients for your family to choose from to build your own Chipotle Burrito ...

Thank you P.F. Chang’s for sponsoring today’s discussion and for my "mommy and me" lunch with my son! My goal was to take this opportunity to catch up with some girlfriends for dinner and cocktails but that didn't work out as most of them are on their awesome vacations or couldn't get a sitter. I can't do cocktails as I just started one of those dang prescriptions drugs that don't mix well ... Read More Here...
I have two articles that have been sitting in the hopper for over two months, one is a bucket list for countries in the world to visit and the other is about beaches in the world to visit. On the list for beaches of the world I was excited to see Flamenco Beach on the island of Culebra within Puerto Rico. Seeing this made me even more excited to visit Puerto Rico as it was 1) a new place to ... Read More Here...
I want to preface this article with a few notes: My apologies for the photos --- they were taken with my phone as I didn't take my big girl camera with me and unfortunately these are not as clear as they could have been. The photos of the left overs are taken at home and they turned out a little better. I am gracious for the opportunities to dine at some of the finest restaurants in the ... Read More Here...

When we lived in Virginia my garden had many a tomatillo plants. Here in Las Vegas we don't have the room to grow them as they love to grow wide and I never tried to cage them so not sure if it would work. Also, you cannot have just one tomatillo plant since they need to be with others to pollinate. Bob uses tomatillos often in his cooking, which they play the main character in mostly Mexican ...

Thanks to Cottonelle for keeping my bum on the beach clean during vacation. Cottonelle Wipes Imagine this... you are basking in the sun on a remote Caribbean beach and the urge to tinkle happens. Panic sets in because if you are like me when you need to go... you need to go. You have a few options, Look for a public restroom and who knows where it is or if it will have bath tissue ...
