Top Ten Simple Ways to Go Green

Check out this awesome resource from Microsoft News Center. This is a great resource to find ways to reduce waste by different avenues of recylcling. One of these links we really do tend to forget about is how to recycle our electronics. Talk about saving some space, let's start recycling these products instead of filling up the landfills with them! This is an awesome resource on helping to recycle more. We use rechargeable batteries as much as possible.

There are several companies such as Energizer that make batteries that will recharge in 15-20 minutes, one kit includes an A/C and car charger! Stay tuned, I have some information on a company that will help you go green while vacationing coming soon!
Remember, Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. It is becoming easier to this every day.

What can you do to help reduce your footprint today!?

Ocean Isle Beach, NC


For Family Friday Fun, make it a fun weekend at the beach. Ocean Isle Beach, NC is our favorite place to go in North Carolina.
We love to stay at Ocean Isle Inn, where the awesome staff just recently earned The Gold Star of Excellence Award from the Myrtle Beach Area Hospitality Assoc. for the third year in a row!
At the end of June, things just got even better. June 28th or so, the Ocean Isle Inn was notified by ResortsandLodges.com that we have been recognized as the #1 Atlantic Coast Vacation Destination!
The biggest reason we love Ocean Isle Beach is there are no chains, it is quiet even in peak season because it is so nicely localized.
Calabash is 15 minutes away, so if you are wanting some incredible seafood not as close, it is there for you.
Check at Ocean Isle Inn today at Ocean Isle Beach, school year's coming!

Until next Family Friday Fun,

Make it a Movie Night!


For your Family Friday Fun, make it a movie night! We have really enjoyed making that a tradition in our home over the last few months! We all have our favorites, and the Tigers have been loving watching the original Star Wars Trilogy. (I am having them watch the way I had to, the last 3 then the first 3!) I am not, however, torturing them for 3 years in between movies the way we all had to!

Red Box, Netflix, Blockbuster...Awesome options for your movie night. Two weeks ago I surprised them with a night out at the theatre and we saw Disney's Oceans. What a great movie! For the most part, we really enjoy just relaxing around the house, and who can forget the Little Caesar's Pizza that has become a great tradition as well!

So how about it? When do you do your movie nights? Make it a fun night anytime!


Until next Family Friday Fun,
