I’m Back!

I’m officially back from Florida!

I had a lot of fun checking out the museums and beaches and participating in local activities. Here are a few pictures of my adventures if you’re interested.

Also the pile above is what ten days of absence looks like in this house 🙂 I’m still sorting through them all as we speak so the reviews of this month’s boxes will be a bit delayed this time.

The lovely area we stayed at called Little Harbor.

Not sure what this lovely lady stole to build her nest but it’s clearly man-made 🙂

I don’t own telescopic lens, this pelican really let me get that close!
And it didn’t seem to be bothered by my presence at all.

      Thank you! Ipsy is the first one up and will go live later today, and after that I’ll try to write at least one review a day until I catch up 🙂

    Beautiful pictures! I can’t wait for spring and summer.

      Thank you! Coming back to this snowed in house made me realize just how much I miss the warm weather. The spring can’t come soon enough 🙂

      Thank you! The packages are a mix of my regular mail, free samples, a couple sweepstakes prizes and subscription boxes 🙂

      Thank you! I love animals and plants and always seem to take more pictures of them than anything else 🙂

    Great pics! I remember heading south to Florida and visiting Lowry Park Zoo when I was younger – such a cool place! Now go open all your fun packages 🙂

      Thanks Jess!
      The zoo was so much fun and the animals looked happy, relaxed and well-fed 🙂 The packages are now all open and I’m trying to figure out the order in which I will be reviewing them. So hard to set the priorities when you’re excited about everything!
