The Breakers Palm Beach offers a wonderful vacation to families (and adults without children).

How do I know?

I am lucky enough to be visiting this absolutely beautiful resort once again, and am delighted to share our wonderful experiences. My oldest child calls The Breakers ‘her very favourite place to vacation’ and spending her birthday here is the ultimate treat. We share her sentiment. 

What’s not to leave you in a state of utter relaxation and awe? Captivating decor and artwork, incredible service, five amazing swimming pools, a gorgeous beach perfect for sandcastle building and wave jumping,  water and golf activities and workshops, a fabulous entertainment centre for children, a playground, a basketball court, a clubhouse, a spa and so much more. 

Beyond description, you can see for yourself on a virtual tour at www.thebreakers.com. Let your fabulous journey begin.

Today I visited a pumpkin patch with my family. It is an annual tradition that we all enjoy.
Here’s why …

- It connects us with the ground. The children are able to see where the vegetables they see on the kitchen table come from.

- Pumpkin patches often offer other fun activities for children to keep them coming back, such as rides, corn mazes, playgrounds, tractor rides and more (call for details).

- The great outdoors and fresh air always feel great.

… In my home, the outing is generally followed by freshly baked chocolate chip cookies to warm up (today’s recipe: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/best-big-fat-chewy-chocolate-chip-cookie/detail.aspx)
