All three of my children have taken ISR swim lessons. ISR stands for Infant Swim Resource, and is a self-rescue swim method that teaches your child to literally save themselves should they ever fall into the water.

Florida Gift Ideas
As you know, Florida is near and dear to my heart. I thought it only appropriate to make a list of Florida themed gifts for the holdiays- or it could be for a birthday or anniversary, too! I promise to not show cheesy souvenirs! The gift ideas are organized by category. Date Your State is an Amazon Associate. I may earn from qualifying purchases. Disney Gifts Loungefly Minibackpacks! These are on trend at the moment, and can be found in every giftshop at the parks, but also here on Amazon. This Snow White one is my current fave! Mickey Mouse

This post is sponsored by Faux Brickwork They say a picture is worth 1,000 words. Having colorful pictures with nobody photobombing them is worth even more words! Florida has so many Instagram worthy walls! I can’t possibly show all of them (though I am on a mission to find as many as possible), but here are some of our favorites.

Must Do’s In Jacksonville, Florida
They say Jacksonville is where Florida begins, but what you may not know is Jacksonville is the largest city by area in the contiguous United States! Go Jax! It is home to 7 sports teams, most notably the Jacksonville Jaguars. The PGA Tour is also based here, and Jacksonville is home to the Florida-Georgia college football game every year. In addition to sports, there are many museums and parks with trails for kids to run and play, delicious restaurants, and of course, our beautiful beaches! My family and I spend most weekend mornings at the beach. It doesn’t cost anything;

Congaree and Penn Visit the Farm Day
Yee haw!!! On Saturday we had the pleasure of spending time at an amazing location right in our own backyard here in Jacksonville. I had heard a lot about Congaree and Penn, so I just had to take the family and check it out! As stated on their website, “Congaree and Penn is a Florida farm dedicated to agriculture and culinary endeavors, and gathering the community to enjoy both.” I will admit I was expecting a jam packed event with bright colors and loud music, and I found the opposite. Congaree and Penn is a serene, calming oasis with 350

Ya’ll! Move over, there’s a new BBQ joint in town, and man is it delicious! ABBQ recently moved in to the Atlantic Beach neighborhood here in Jacksonville, and guys, they serve meat by the pound! It’s Texas style, and the meat just melts.in.your.mouth. The set up and how they move you through is slightly different than most restaurants, but once we got the hang of it, it was smooth sailing!
