Fun in Key West

Hey Reader, It's Throwback Tuesday, and today we're talking about my favorite meal of the day... BREAKFAST. ☕🥞🍳 I love food in general, but when I'm traveling? Breakfast just hits differently. And Key Largo has some pretty fantastic ways to start the day. 👉 Check out my guide to the Best Breakfast Restaurants in Key Largo here:https://funinkeywest.com/best-breakfast-in-key-largo/ I Have a Vacation Breakfast Philosophy At home, breakfast might be quick. But on vacation? I want the good stuff....

Hey Reader, Have you ever started one little home project... And somehow it turned into SIX home projects? 😂 That's where we are right now. We found a great deal on a gazebo for the back patio. The plan was pretty simple: finally give Kevin a little home for the grill and pizza oven. Easy, right? Nope. Before we could put up the gazebo, we decided we should probably fix the patio. So now we're pulling up pavers, leveling everything, and pouring a concrete slab. And since we're doing THAT......

Hey Reader, It's Throwback Tuesday, and today we're heading north from Key West to Key Largo. You've snorkeled. You've been out on the water. You've spent some quality time by the pool. You've watched another gorgeous Florida Keys sunset. Now what? 🌅😎 Key Largo may be famous for everything you can do on, in and under the water, but your day definitely doesn't have to end when the sun goes down. 👉 Check out my guide to Things to Do in Key Largo at Night...

Hey Reader, It was a BUSY week around here. But it was one of those really satisfying weeks where you finally stop, look around, and think... "Wow. I actually got a lot done!" Now, some of you may not consider this a major accomplishment, but I cleaned and organized my kitchen cabinets AND bought new storage containers for all of my baking stuff. In my house? That's big. 😂 Of course, once everything was beautifully organized, I promptly made lemon bars AND English muffins. Because apparently...

Hey Reader, It's Throwback Tuesday, and today's question is for all my fellow dog people... When you head to the Florida Keys, does the dog come too? 🐶🌴 This whole post actually started because I was dog-sitting Mr. Coffee and started wondering... If we packed him into the car and headed down the Keys, where could we actually take him? Naturally, that sent me down a rabbit hole. Or maybe a dog hole? 😂 👉 Check out my guide to dog-friendly beaches and activities in the Florida Keys...

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, It's Throwback Tuesday, and today we're taking a little detour from Key West... ...because some recipes are simply too good not to share. 😄 This is one of those recipes. 👉 Check out the full recipe here:https://funinkeywest.com/copycat-subway-raspberry-cheesecake-cookie-recipe/ It Started With One Batch... I originally made these because I LOVE those Raspberry Cheesecake Cookies at Subway. You know the ones... Soft. Chewy. White chocolate. Little bursts of raspberry. Basically...
