So I’m a new mom, so the bent of this blog is officially baby central now. It’s taken me almost 6 months to start blogging about it. I’ve been meaning to for awhile. That illustrates one of things I’ve come to find out about parenting – you intend to do a lot of things that […]
No violence, no gas shortages, no ferry strikes, no problems. Don’t believe the media and go on vacation. Let me explain. We all know the power of the news media.

We spent the last two nights before our flight back to Maine in Cancun at the JW Marriott. It was a very nice resort, but wished I was back in Tulum the whole time we were there. The partial view of the ocean, the screaming children in the pool, the AC, and chain restaurants (yes […]
AmyinMaine recently got out of dodge to visit Tulum, Mexico. It’s about an hour and half south of Cancun by car, away from the mega resorts of Cancun and Playa del Carmen. Now unless you are partial to tropical camping trips, you probably haven’t heard of this place. Some friends introduced us to it about […]
