Fun in Key West

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, 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.

The answer might surprise you. 😄 👉 Check out the full post here Here's What I've Learned... I think a lot of us imagine that locals have a secret island hidden somewhere. A secret beach.
