Blue is one of those dogs that you can’t help but love but if she belonged to anyone else you would be thinking the owner should call the dog whisperer.  Blue is a weimeriener and the breed is known for being high strung, but we rescued Blue from the pound and she is “special”.   [...]

We have traveled the route to Texas a million times and yet Joe still insists on using his archaic GPS that always gives us the wrong directions. Seriously people – do you remember the first generation cell phones that were like carrying a brick? Well this GPS is it’s first cousin. I recently sucummbed to [...]

It was too beautiful to stay in the house this weekend, so we scooped up the children and headed to the beach.  We loaded up with towels, sunscreen, water, snacks, beach toys, football and volleyball… and hoped the children would be satisfied.  Going to the beach with children can be absolutely exhausting!  Today, the sun [...]

It has been an unbelievably busy month for us at the Mayer household – lots of travel for business, the kids have us running in circles and we are just so grateful.  So many of our dear friends and colleagues have recently lost their jobs.  All of them were very diligent, hard working individuals.  It was [...]

Our house is so small that as our businesses grow, we are completely devestated by the mass disaster caused by opening one or two boxes.  Now imagine, we’re opening five or six boxes, doing laundry, rearranging furniture and have all of our tax season stuff spread out all over the kitchen table.  Yes – absolute chaos [...]

The cold weather is back again and we’ve switched our shorts for heavy jeans, sweaters, socks and scarfs. This year has had some extremely odd weather – one day hot, next day freezing, then cool, then hot, then freezing, then warm. So hard to dress in the morning! Our closets are too small to deal [...]

Baytown at Sandestin is a great escape from the realities of every day – it’s like walking around an amusement park filled with great restaurants and unique gift shops.  Now that they have added the ice skating rink and the ropes course – it’s really got something for everyone.  My father was in town visiting from [...]

I believe that photography is the echo of life’s reflections – a captured moment, a story with no words, a poem with no ending, a silent song.  Joseph is the quiet type – or so I am told.  I do not really notice how little he actually speaks until someones makes a comment about it.  [...]
