Who can resist snuggling up to a sweetheart like this? She looks so innocent ... that is until she destroys only one of my favorite high heels. (thank goodness she grew out of that stage!)

I just love this picture. She reminds me of Dumbo with her big floppy ears.

Just thought I would share some of my favorite pictures of my most spoiled baby in the house. I encourage you to comment back and show pics of your spoiled rotten babies too!

A great place to visit in Central Calvert County is Battle Creek Cypress Swamp.

There is a boardwalk path to walk through the protected watershed area. Also, an interesting indoor center for learning about the local animals in the area. Upstairs in the loft even has real snakes and spiders for those not too afraid to get close. It is a peaceful place to enjoy the history of the location as well as the unspoiled beauty. If you are ever passing through our little county I highly recommend this stop!

Directions: On Route 4 just south of Prince Frederick, turn on Sixes Road. From Sixes Road, turn left on Grays Road for 1/10 mile to Cypress Swamp on the right.

Questions? Information? Call 410-535-5327. Nature Center hours are 8:30-4:30.

I have been pretty busy lately with work and am excited to treat the family to a fun getaway to Hershey Park. All week long, even with difficult meetings, negotiations, contracts, counters, migraines - I have been excited to go.

Thinking about this made me want to remind all of my friends here on AR to take time to enjoy yourselves.

Besides, in my own experience, being out of town for a quick getaway is the best way to drum up even more business. Everyone seems to want you when you are away! So take a cue from me and let's all go on mini-vacations.

p.s. Post pics and comments for me after to tell me about your success stories!

This month I was looking for something to do with the kids and stumbled across one of the most fun and free nights the kids and I have ever spent together. The Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons, MD offer the first Friday of every month from 5-8pm free admission. This includes the museum, kids discovery room with new touch tank and fossil hunting, lighthouse tours, and boat rides on the Wm B. Tennison around Solomons Island.

I will have pictures posted soon to show what a great time we had and the fun things you can do. The next date will be on September 5th from 5-8pm. We are looking forward to going back again to have some more fun!

There is always something fun going on in Southern MD, especially for families. If you are coming to the area just call or e-mail me and I would be happy to give you lots of suggestions for areas to visit. Beautiful beaches, parks, museums, restaurants, shops and local events are always close by to enjoy.

Have a great day and enjoy the last weeks of summer!

***My husband is a teacher at Calvert Career Center in Calvert County MD and he is organizing this fundraiser for his school. I am posting this to share this info with all of my friends here on AR as well as an event on Localism. Thanks in advance for any help and I hope to see some of you there! Any questions just call or e-mail me.***
