One Day in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota

9/15/20

See why one day in Theodore Roosevelt National Park in North Dakota is well worth it. Of course, more time is always better, but let's be honest, sometimes one day is all we can squeeze into a trip. I'd rather spend one day at the park than no days and you'll soon learn why. Located on the western edge of North Dakota the park is made up of two units; the south and the north. After doing a fair amount of research we decided we'd spend our one day in the south unit. Our understanding Continue Reading

The Southern Air Fryer Cookbook Review

8/18/20

It's no secret that I have a love affair for all things southern with food hit the top two things I love. For those wondering, the weather is number 1. So when I saw the lovely Pam Wattenberger and her daughter, Brittany, had a southern air fryer cookbook I couldn't wait to get my hands on a copy. In addition to loving southern food, an air fryer is one of my most used kitchen appliances. We use it for everything and recently upgraded to a Ninja Foodie 11-in-1 6.5 quart which is an Continue Reading

Why the Verizon Care Smartwatch is Perfect for Older Adults

Are you old enough to remember when David Hasselhoff would talk into his watch and it would bring his entire car right to him? Or when Maxwell Smart on Get Smart would converse with someone on his watch? Lucky for us we live in a time when that isn't just make-believe but it's real life. Parental and Grandparental units can use a Verizon Care Smartwatch to chat with you just like Michael Knight and Maxwell Smart. Lucky them and you! I have partnered with Verizon to share this Continue Reading

We are loving the new Verizon Care Smartwatch built and designed for older adults. As a caregiver I love how easy this watch is to use plus it limits who can call my Mom (take the spam/scam callers!).
.
I have a full review over on the blog at justshortofcrazy.com/care-smartwatch/
.
Oh and just wait until you see how affordable it is!!

If I’m traveling or at home the #CareSmart watch

If I’m traveling or at home the #CareSmart watch has definitely made keeping in touch and staying on task easier.
.
From letting my family know where I’m at via the Care Smart watch app to letting me set reminders for important appointments and tasks.
.
I’m working with Verizon to share my thoughts on the watch and how it’s great for an older demographic that is tech savvy but wants to keep it simple!! <<—100% ME.
.
I’m also looking at this watch for my elderly parents and if they’d be able to manage it. I’m pretty confident they would.
.
Right now Verizon has a special to receive $50 off the watch when you buy a smartphone.

Spent a couple days hiking and chasing waterfalls.

Spent a couple days hiking and chasing waterfalls. Absolutely love spending time outdoors and now that I have a #CareSmart watch from Verizon I know that helps is just a push of a button away!

Gotta love a smart watch that also provides security and peace of mind. Full review coming to blog soon!

Oh and did I mention the watch comes in a really cool purple color? Swipe left.

We arrived in Shenandoah Valley today. After a delicious lunch at Pancake Underground and a stroll around Strasburg to check out the new murals (see Reel) we drove over to the Woodstock Tower Trail.
.
We heard there was a nearby hang gliding launch site that might have better views this time of year and it did not disappoint.
.
Simply stunning and so good for my soul. I absolutely adore this part of the country. Western Virginia is so gorgeous. I can’t wait to explore more this week as we drive the Skyline Drive and Blue Ridge Parkway.
.
Hope you’ll follow along as I share stunning views and camping stories ;)
