Fun in Key West

Hey Reader, I hope you had a fun wrap-up to the summer season! We certainly did... although ours involved a county fair, country music, corn dogs, and blackberry cobbler. 😂 We drove about an hour to see Emily Ann Roberts perform. Now, I have to admit... I really didn't know who she was. Kevin, on the other hand? Big fan. He follows Emily Ann and her husband on Instagram and really wanted to see her perform, so off to the county fair we went! And you know what made this even more fun? Usually,...

Hey Reader, It's Throwback Tuesday, and I have officially decided something... Summer isn't over until we say it's over. 😄🍹 Yes, September is here. Yes, pumpkin spice is probably lurking around every corner. But my backyard tiki bar is NOT ready to surrender just yet. So today, we're pulling out the blender and making one of my favorite warm-weather treats: Homemade Strawberry Daiquiris. 🍓🌴 👉 Check out my homemade Strawberry Daiquiri Mix here:https://funinkeywest.com/strawberry-daiquiri-mix/...

Hey Reader, What a fun week! We had a pretty big first at our house... our youngest grandson stayed overnight with us for the first time! ❤️ There were snacks. There were playgrounds. There was lots of activity. And then there was Mr. Coffee. 😂🐾 He is SUPER protective of the little guy, so apparently he decided it was his personal responsibility to keep watch over everything happening all weekend. Let's just say Mr. Coffee is now sleeping off all the excitement. He may sleep for a few days. 😴...

Hey Reader, I have something exciting to share... We're going to have a standing date every single week! 🌴🥳 Starting now, I'll be going live every Thursday at 8 PM Eastern to chat about... well... who knows what in the world I'll be chatting about. 😂 Key West history.

But the important part is: 📅 Thursday⏰ 8 PM Eastern🌴 Fun in Key...

Hey Reader, What. A. Week. Honestly... I'm a little overwhelmed. Not in the "there's too much laundry" kind of way. 😄 In the "I can't believe how many of you joined the Fun in Key West Insider Club" kind of way. Thank you. Seriously. Putting together the monthly digital magazines has been one of the most fun projects I've ever worked on. Digging into Key West history, discovering hidden gems, creating playlists, pairing cocktails with books... it's like combining all of my favorite things...
