I’m so glad you stopped by! Tropical Life, Food and Fun is for all of us who want to enjoy the fun in each day! Many years ago, I commented one too many times to my dad that something was “fun” when he exploded with I Don’t Know Why In The Hell You Think Everything Should Be Fun!!”. In addition to being a joke between us, it became my mantra. Shouldn’t Life Be Fun?

Please stay a while and check out the blog posts. I hope they make you laugh or maybe tug at your heartstrings. Maybe you’ll find a recipe that you can’t wait to try! If you’d like to get an email with blog posts as they post, please sign up on the subscribe button. I am a contributing writer to  Grown and Flown  , The Today Show , For Every Mom, Her View From Home and Women Who Live On Rocks so you may see my articles on those sites. There are more frequent posts (and some really funny stuff!) on the Facebook page (Tropical Life, Food and Fun) so be sure to LIKE the page to get in on that. I’m also on Instagram (@TropicalLifeFoodandFun).

My home is in Islamorada and I feel beyond lucky to live in such a beautiful tropical paradise so I like to share it.  I’m not into drama. You won’t see political issues here. There’s not a place for negative stuff here. I don’t see the value and it’s usually not fun. Who needs it? I adore my family so you will read about them – joys, struggles and the stuff we go through when we’re raising children, living, working and finally – retiring. And there will be some really great recipes.  I’ll admit something. . . my food photos won’t do justice to the  recipe’s “delicious-ness”. I won’t tell you that I’m a fabulous cook, but I do have fabulous recipes. Trust me on that.

Ultimately, I hope you can relate to this page. We love our tropical paradise. I hope you enjoy seeing our life in it. You like to laugh, I like to laugh. You love your family – me, too. You like good food, well, ‘nuff said.

Life’s short. Enjoy it! And thanks for enjoying a bit of it with me!
