May 24, 2015 by Karen Dawkins 25 Comments

Today’s post comes from my friend, Julia, who happens to be a food editor for Paula Deen Magazine. I figure, if we’re going to talk food, why not go to someone who eats her work and then writes about it every day! Here’s Julia… I love good food, and there’s nothing I love more than […]

August 25, 2014 by Karen Dawkins 16 Comments

When our family went to Paris back in 2012, we wanted to shop like the locals at the street markets: fresh fruit, breads, meats and flowers. I had a romantic notion of this Parisian experience, and I was not disappointed! Ever since, I have found exploring farmers’ markets to be one of the best ways to […]

Louisiana: More than beads and beignets

August 14, 2014 by Karen Dawkins 18 Comments

I confess I never visited before, because… well, I stereotyped! I took New Orleans, with the French Quarter and bawdy Mardi Gras celebrations, and kind of  (well, totally) […]

Chandler, AZ Itinerary for Families

February 25, 2014 by Karen Dawkins 5 Comments

My daughter and I visited Chandler, AZ earlier this month — our first trip to Arizona. It won’t be our last. We were instantly captivated by the desert landscape, friendly people and the lifestyle. With 330 days of sun and average daytime temperatures of 85*, it should come as no surprise that activities here focus […]

Christmas in Grapevine, Texas

December 9, 2013 by Karen Dawkins 26 Comments

Everything’s bigger in Texas, including ice storms and Christmas celebrations! I had the opportunity to visit Grapevine, the Christmas Capital of Texas, to see first-hand how they celebrate Christmas Texas-style. As an added bonus, I survived “Ice-maggedon” too! As of this writing, the greater Dallas area is still recovering from the ice storm…. but Texans are […]

Virginia is home to many great vacation destinations from Williamsburg to Washington, from Virginia Beach to Shenandoah National Park.

February 8, 2013 by Karen Dawkins 5 Comments

As long as I can remember, my husband and I have enjoyed exploring neighborhoods wherever we travel. In our early years, we spent a lot of time in Pittsburgh, exploring Squirrel Hill, Mount Washington and the Golden Triangle. Today, we share our love of exploration with our kids, most recently in Tampa, Florida. We enjoyed […]
