3 Reasons to Give Cooking a Break & Enjoy Bonefish Grill’s Summer Menu

Thank you to Bonefish Grill for inviting us out to check out the new summer menu. 

Bonefish Grill Summer Menu

It’s no secret that I love Bonefish Grill. Whether we’re celebrating a special family milestone, a birthday or heck a night I just don’t feel like cooking, when it comes time to pick a place to eat at, my first response is usually Bonefish Grill. It’s that good y’all. With summer in full swing over here, I find myself having less and less time to cook. Wait a minute, let me be honest here. I find myself wanting to cook less and less. It’s not that I don’t have the time, it’s that I just don’t feel like it. So when my local Bonefish Grill in Marlton, New Jersey invited me out to see the new remodel and try out the Bonefish Grill summer menu, I said: “heck yeah, I’ll be right over!” [Read more…] about 3 Reasons to Give Cooking a Break & Enjoy Bonefish Grill’s Summer Menu

Race into Quaker Steak & Lube for Their New Blues & Rock Menu

Quaker Steak and Lube #BluesandRockMenu

A few months ago, we were driving in North Jersey and drove by this cool restaurant called Quaker Steak & Lube. From the outside, it looked like a auto garage. Somewhere you’d take your car to get worked on with several garage bays and some old fashioned gas pumps. Being the car lovers we are, my husband and I looked at each other and said at the same time “we need to eat here”. Fast forward to yesterday. We were invited out to check out this same restaurant and their new #BluesAndRockMenu. [Read more…] about Race into Quaker Steak & Lube for Their New Blues & Rock Menu

Eating Our Way Through Hershey, PA

This post is in partnership with Hershey, PA. All opinions are my own. Thank you Hershey for hosting my family.

Dining In Hershey, PA

One of my favorite things about our visit to Hershey, PA was all the delicious food we had a chance to try out.  It’s no secret I love trying out new places to eat and Hershey did not disappoint. I try to encourage myself to step out of my comfort zone to try something new or something I wouldn’t ordinarily try, each time we visit a new restaurant. This trip gave me plenty of opportunities to do just that. The food was amazing and there wasn’t one thing we didn’t love, the kids included. While there is no shortage of places to eat in the area, on this trip we dined at Trevi and Harvest at The Hotel Hershey and for lunch we headed over to Houlihan’s on our way to The Hershey Museum.

Exploring Fall Tastes at Bonefish Grill

dine-discover-menu

We try to schedule a night out to eat at least once or twice a month. School, work and everything else seem to get in the way more often than not so it’s nice to be able to get out together with just my husband or together as a family. Since my husband and I both love seafood, it’s not uncommon for us visit Bonefish Grill on those nights out. I mean who can really resist their Bang Bang Shrimp? That seriously may be my favorite appetizer ever. Last week we were invited out toe our local Bonefish Grill in Marlton, New Jersey to taste some of their new menu items for October.

A Taste of Bahama Breeze’s Reggae Fest Menu

Bahama Breeze Reggae Fest

We try to go out to eat at least once a month and when I say out to eat, I mean actually go to a restaurant and sit down for a meal. I’m not talking a quick trip through drive-thru but a more family friendly night out. We all take turns picking out our favorite restaurant or what type of food we’re in the mood for and we’ll plan a family date. One restaurant that constantly makes all of our lists is Bahama Breeze. There is something for everyone in my family on the menu and they’re always changing things up with seasonal menu offerings that can’t be missed. So when we were invited out to check out their latest  – Reggae Fest, I knew we had to go.  [Read more…] about A Taste of Bahama Breeze’s Reggae Fest Menu

Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a Must Do While in Baltimore

bubba-gumpWhile in Baltimore last week we had a chance to eat at some of the location restaurants that we don’t have here in New Jersey. When we were planning out our trip, I wanted to make sure we tried some new foods and restaurants while we were in the area. Since my husband and I love seafood, I knew one restaurant we just had to eat at was Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. Yes, the Bubba Gump from the movie Forrest Gump. We’ve never eaten here before but I’ve heard great things about it and their menu so we were thrilled to be invited out to check out their menu and some of their delicious dinner options.   [Read more…] about Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. is a Must Do While in Baltimore

  • Spending a little more on high quality, every day essentials is something I can totally get behind. Especially for necessities like bath tissue. @KhiLuxury bath tissue has a cloth-like softness, is practically lint free and feels so luxurious compared to other brands. But my favorite part? The 100% plastic free packing. We’re drastically cutting back on the amount of plastic that we use and consume and this is just another way to continue that lifestyle. Plus the cute box coordinates with my new bathroom and looks perfect displayed right on my latest DIY project, these. bathroom shelves! #khiluxury #ad • • • • • • bathroomgoals #bathroomremodel #bathroommakeover #bathroomdecor #bathroomdesign #luxury #bathtissue #DIY #DIYShelves #industrialpipedecor #industrialpipeshelves #industrialpipe #njblogger #nj #powderroom #halfbath #powderroomdesign #plasticfree #diyprojects

  • Last week I loaded the kids in the car for a trip to iFly in King of Prussia to try out the indoor skydiving experience! SCROLL THROUGH TO SEE ALL THE PICS! • It was our first time here and we LOVED it! We can’t wait to go back! We all took turns, even Evie! • The entire iFLY experience lasts about an hour and a half to two hours and is equivalent to 1.5 skydives! • There’s even a virtual reality experience based on How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. For this one, you wear a virtual reality helmet and fly with your favorite dragons right from the movie. • Overall it was an AMAZING experience and I can’t wait to do it again! • Have you been indoor skydiving at iFLY before? • • • • • #ad #ifly #iflyindoorskydiving #skydiving #skydive #kop #kingofprussia #familyfun #virtualreality
