Christmas in Santa Claus, Indiana!

*Disclaimer:  I was provided with complimentary lodging and tickets.  No other compensation was provided.*

A few weekends ago the girls and I took a little road trip from Nashville to Santa Claus, Indiana.  It’s a perfect drive because takes less than 3 hours to get there.  I’m all about road trips that are under 4 hours!

Now if you’re anything like my friend Natasha of Houseful of Nicholes then this is definitely the place for you. The town is spreads holiday joy 365 days a year.  A fun fact about the name of the town is that they were originally going to be named Santa Fe but there was already a town by that name in Indiana. 

 Spencer County Visitor’s Bureau was gracious enough to reach out again and took charge by planning a great weekend of fun for my daughters, mom and me.  We hung out in the city for 3 days 2 nights and were hosted by Santa’s Lodge.  The front part of the hotel used to be a barn and the rest of the hotel was added on.  The hotel has a restaurant, Santa’s Toy Shop, a gift shop and indoor pool.  Everything you need is almost within walking distance but this time of year its a bit chilly so its better to hop in the car.

When Was The Last Time Someone Asked “Are you ok?”

by 1 Comment

One of my friends shared this interview on her instagram account and it truly struck a nerve.  Here’s a woman, a Duchess, that from the outside you would think that life has got to be pretty good for her.  I mean she’s the Duchess of Sussex!  But then I realize that she’s still a woman and new mother.  So many of us have been right where she is but luckily for us we weren’t under the scrutiny of media and an entire country watching our every move.

Last week, ITV news released a clip of an upcoming documentary Meghan, Duchess of Sussex and after such a simple question of “are you doing ok” you could see in her eyes that she was not.  She even answered the interviewer by saying “not many people have asked if I’m ok”.  Wow! 

Our society always put so much emphasis on woman looking and acting a certain way even during pregnancy.  People go out of there way to point out when celebrities aren’t looking their best, have put on too much weight or have expressed how being pregnant was one of the most stressful experiences.  And then once you’ve become a new mom everything is so focused on the snapback and how quickly you lost the baby weight.

The Comfy® Helps Keep You Cozy and Fight Breast Cancer

by 3 Comments

Lo One of the best perks of working from home is that I get to wear anything I want. One of the cons is that since I work overnights, during the colder months I swear my office decides it wants no parts of the central heat. I was so happy when I learned about The Comfy®! This would mean I didn’t have to pull out my little space heater and waste electricity trying to keep myself warm.

The Comfy® & Barbara Corcoran to Donate 50K to Susan G. Komen® in its Fight to End Breast Cancer.  

The #ComfyCares initiative is partnering with Susan G. Komen® in launching their new Comfy and Comfy Feet.

The Comfy‘s NEW Susan G. Komen limited edition Comfy! One part oversized sweatshirt and one part super snuggly blanket. This is perfect for any chilly weather walk/runs, a gift for a survivor or loved one of a survivor or as a way to give back! My mother was diagnosed with breast cancer 4 years ago and I’m always amazed by her strength and her fighting spirit. I’m even happier to say that she’s been cancer free since getting her double mastectomy. She is definitely my hero.

The Comfy® turns every situation into a cozy one. With the addition of Comfy Feet, wearers can enjoy head to toe warmth while finding comfort in giving back.

My favorite time of year is fall.  The intense heat and humidity are a thing of the past, the leaves are changing colors and there are so many fun outdoor activities to enjoy!  Last year I took the girls to a corn maze and we had a blast.  This year I wanted to switch it up a bit and I’ve been hearing about Lucky Ladd Farms for years.  Located minutes south of Nashville, Tennessee, Lucky Ladd Farms is 60 acres of fun owned by Jason and Amy Ladd.  Today the Ladd Family is excited to provide a wholesome source of family entertainment for thousands of visitors each year.
