'Tis the Spring Break Season!
Posted On 03/18/2012 12:53:13 by WindhamTravel
This month is a traveling month for so many.  When I was a young girl, there used to be only one designated week for spring break. Here in Alabama, They called it the AEA break, the Alabama Education Association break, and it was a southeast regional spring break.  I know I am aging myself; but does anyone else remember AEA? But times have changed.  Currently, just in my immediate area, there are three different spring break schedules that cover three weeks in March. ... Read More

The Kitchen is the heart of the home
Posted On 11/17/2011 10:12:49 by marketingmaster2003
For me, my kitchen is the heart of my home and has been a place where friends and family can gather around the table and celebrate good times and bad.
With Thanksgiving less than a week away, many of us are busy preparing for a house full of guests, planning our menu's and looking forward to a day of fellowship with family and friends. Those of us preparing the meal will more than likely spend hours in our kitchens, yet it will not seem like work, but rather a labor of love.

Halloween in the Tennessee Valley
Posted On 10/15/2011 07:11:03 by rocketcitymom
Fall might be my very favorite time of year. The weather is almost always perfect and a short drive can bring all kinds of fun activities for children. Plus, let's not forget what is, in my opinion, the most FUN holiday - Halloween.    Speaking of Halloween, you're going to need a pumpkin for your porch so why not head to local pumpkin patches, Tate Farms in Meridianville or Lyons Farms in Taft, TN (just over the TN/AL border)? These pumpkin patches contain so much more than just... Read More
