View of Honolulu, Hawaii from the top of the rim of Diamond Head Crater State Park.

I can’t believe it’s been 4 years since we first arrived at Hawaii. A magical island filled with amazing people and a beautiful culture. I remember getting to the airport and walking out to a gorgeous view of the mountains. I had never seen mountains as beautifully sculptured as those in Hawaii. We proceeded to grab our belongings at the baggage claim to then head to our new temporary home at the hotel

As a mom we tend to look for the best parks around our home to take our kids too. Whether it is a playground or a park with a nice trail where your little ones can burn off some energy, parks are always on our lists. I remember doing this exact same thing when I came to live at Clarksville, Tennessee. My goal was to find the most recreational parks with playgrounds that my girls would enjoy. After many visits and fun filled trips I have decided to share with

Netflix, wine, cheese, and cuddles! This is what my usual wine night consists of without ever thinking twice of how the wine was made. The color, the process, time it takes to make, or everything that goes behind the scenes. I just grab my babies (or fur-baby) to cuddle with and enjoy the night.  Beachaven Vineyards and Winery changed the entire way I look at wine now. It’s not just about the taste but also the patience, care, and passion that the owners and staff at Beachaven put into each

This last weekend was loads of fun. I had an amazing opportunity with the tourism company of Clarksville, Tennessee, Visit Clarksville, TN. I was an Insta-Guest for their Instagram account and was able to do some internal tourism in the city I am currently living in. For those of you that follow me on Instagram probably saw all of my exciting posts throughout the weekend on both @thewalkingmermaidblog and @visitclarksvilletn.

About two months ago Michelle over at Visit Clarksville had reached out to me inviting me to be an Insta-Guest and

It was a beautiful Saturday morning when my husband and I decided to join our friends Corey and Casey to the park. It had been rainy and gloomy for a few days so we figured like it was a sunny day, why not? We ended up going to a nearby park called Billy Dunlop Park (more information to come) located in Clarksville, Tennessee. It was a little muddy but beautiful.

When we arrived we let the girls play at the playground. Shortly after we decided to hit the trail. It’s a

Dunbar Cave State Park is a small park located in Clarksville, Tennessee approximately 1 hour northwest of Nashville. This small park is historical landmark of Clarksville and holds one of the most beautiful caves in this area. It’s a must see when visiting this small town. You can find anything from deers, fawns, squirrels, to even the rushing water going through the cave and out below.

Our Visit To Dunbar Cave State Park

I’ve been to Dunbar Cave several times to walk their trails but I will tell you about our last

Rotary Park is a cute little park in Clarksville, Tennessee that is filled with hiking trails alongside a beautiful creek. I love to come visit here as it is filled with gorgeous scenery, flowing water, and several trails to explore. It’s not a very big park but it is perfect to get out and enjoy some time outdoors in this small little city.

STORY

The first time I ever went to Rotary Park was a Sunday afternoon. Shortly after we moved back, my best friend Christina came over for the weekend to

I was turning 28 and one thing I really wanted to do was have a birthday camping trip. I went ahead and started searching for nearby campgrounds that my family and I would enjoy. Piney Campground at Land Between The Lakes is where my heart drifted too. After viewing photos and learning more about it I just had to book the trip. Off we went to camp by the lake and enjoy this gorgeous campground by the Kentucky and Tennessee border.

Born and raised in Puerto Rico was truly a priviledge. Exploring the island and learning about the rich culture that it holds, taught me how to truly appreciate it. Along with appreciating it, I also grew to love it and care for it. Here a quick history of Puerto Rico and ten photos that will inspire you to visit this beautiful island in the Carribean.

BRIEF HISTORY

Puerto Rico’s native population consisted of Taino Indians who inherited the island over 1,000 years before Christopher Columbus and the Spaniards

My little brother is getting ready to go off to college and we wanted to plan a special family getaway with him before classes started. My dad and I planned a 3 day camping trip to Tim’s Ford State Park in Winchester, Tennessee by Tim’s Ford Lake. It was a sunny, humid, and very hot Friday morning when my brothers picked me and my daughter’s up for this fun filled weekend. We loaded up in the car and jammed to some good spanish music as we headed off to the state
