Reporting LIVE from Key West 🌴🎥 (and a little trivia twist…)


Hey Reader,

Well… we made it. 🌴

We are officially in Key West!
Have you been catching the live videos?? If not, head over to Facebook and check them out — we’ve been walking around, exploring, and showing off Key West in all its slightly chaotic, totally charming glory.

From wandering Duval to stumbling into new spots… we are trying all the things. So stay tuned — I’ll have a full rundown of the trip next week (including what’s worth it, what surprised me, and what I’d do again in a heartbeat).


🎥 Before We Hit the Road…

I did manage to get a little work done before hopping on the plane…

📚 I had a great conversation with Tony Soika, author of Pit Bulls in Paradise.
It’s a fun one — and he’s got some great stories behind the book.

🍪 Something Sweet (Because… Priorities)

I was craving something sweet, so I went digging back into the archives and…

👉 🍪 Updated my Copycat Panera Shortbread recipe — and yes, it’s still as dangerously good as you remember.

And while I was in “update mode”…

👉 🍎🍸 I refreshed my Apple Pie Cocktail post — because one drink is never enough when you’re in a festive mood.


Oh! One more thing I’ve been working on… I just released my new ebook — “25 Must-Do Things in Key West” 🌴📚
It’s basically your go-to guide for making the most of your trip — from can’t-miss spots and hidden gems to food, drinks, and experiences that really give you that island state of mind. Since this is brand new, I’m offering it at 50% off for now because I’d truly love your feedback — what you love, what you want more of, all of it!

🧠 Trivia Time!

Last week’s question threw a few curveballs, but most of you nailed it:

Robert Frost was the poet who spent 16 winters in Key West.
Not bad for a guy known for snowy woods, right? 🌴📖


❓ This Week’s Trivia Question

Alright, here’s a fun one straight out of Key West history:

Which famous inventor spent six months in Key West during World War I, working on underwater weapons?

(And yes… you’ve definitely heard of him.)

Hit reply with your answer to get entered into this month’s Fun in Key West drawing!


Back to island exploring… I’ve got more streets to wander and probably another frozen drink with my name on it. 🍹

Until next time…
