Pecans!

Are you looking for a healthy snack. Something to take the edge off. One that may help prevent heart disease, help lower cholesterol and aid in weight loss. How about improving your overall health. Sound good? Look no further than the pecan. Pecans are loaded with vitamins and minerals, contain key antioxidants and are a great source of protein.

I eat several snacks between meals throughout the day. I try to mix it up with fruits, veggies, yogurt and nuts. Pecans are among my favorites. A delicious little snack!

Our puppy dog Missy. We adopted her from the local SPCA. Anytime we say “Treats!” or “Want to go bye-bye?”, Missy tilts her head…very cute!

Oktoberfest!

We didn’t have to travel all the way to Germany to celebrate Oktoberfest. No, this Oktoberfest celebration happens annually, here in Virginia Beach. It’s fun for the whole family. There are rides, games, tug-o-war, a corn hole competition,  a petting zoo and live music. Not to mention the authentic German food and beer. Good times! And the proceeds go to benefit some great local charities. Here are some of the highlights of the 2009 Oktoberfest, in pictures. [continue reading…]

Kids playing in the snow

Once cold weather starts to hit, depending on where you live, you know what that means: the holidays are coming! The biggest and the best ones of the year, as a matter of fact!

For me, the holidays have always begun with Halloween. The thrill of partying all done up in an outrageous costume seems to never lose its appeal, no matter how old you are! I put on my costume, hit the town, and party like it’s 1999! So, each winter, I look forward to Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years Eve. I call them “The Big Four”. If you’re not careful during this time, ‘the big four’ can also represent how many pants sizes you’ll go up by the time it’s all said and done! Holiday reveler, beware!

Identity Theft


As a father of four, I have a lot daily concerns about my kids’ health and well being. I’m concerned about the latest strain of H1N1; I’m concerned about what they watch on TV; I hope that they do well enough in school to achieve their dreams. And most recently, I’m also concerned about their financial health when I hear that some kids are becoming the victims of identity theft. [continue reading…]
