Florida Plunge Rental Property Viewing Checklist

You will find that while looking at properties, you may develop an instant emotional reaction to any property, but you should balance this with a rational assessment of the potential of living in the property, including the local area and amenities, the condition of the property both inside and out and the costs that come with living in it. Remember, the house/apartment/condo you are viewing could be your home for the foreseeable future. Obviously, your own priorities will v

12 Ways to Stay Organized When You Have Kids

As parents of 3 kids, Kristi and I find one of the biggest parts of what makes raising kids challenging is the sheer logistics of it all — from soccer practice to music lessons, parent-teacher conferences to birthday parties.

While there are no simple answers, here are some tips and tricks that can help keep you sane. 1. One calendar unites all. En

THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO ORLANDO

20 THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE MOVING TO ORLANDO Most people hear the name Orlando and immediately think MICKEY MOUSE! While we Orlandoans (that’s what we are called) are proud to be home to the the most famous mouse, we are actually a lot more than Disney. Locals find nature and culture, and learn to pronounce things their own way. The name of the small city of Ocoee, for example, is pronounced oh-COE-ee for newcomers and oh-COY for natives. Now that you are ready to T

A LITTLE BIT OF PAINT AND A WHOLE LOT OF FUN!

I think I had poisoned myself. And it didn’t taste very good. Not very good at all. See, I should have known better. We have a supreme water filter attached to the side of the sink, a much needed accessory since moving to Florida. Colorado? Ice cold mountain run-off fills the springs and aquifers and we have water that tastes like manna. Then I moved to Florida. After the third week of Not-Feeling-Well, the doctor asked simple question, “are you drinking the local water? You

The Reason I Moved To Florida

I’ve written so many articles over the gazillion years, I cannot, for the life of me, remember when I said this tidbit: I love the beach. We had no concept of sunscreen, then. On Sundays, if my mother didn’t have to work, we’d pile into the station wagon and head down to the south shore of the island and spend breakfast, lunch, and dinner down there. Playing in the waves, eating Red Vines (they didn’t melt!), and all the leftovers Ma could fit into the cooler. The one withou

The Cardboard Plunge, Joe Triggs-Smith Florida Plunge Story

I had tripped over a cardboard box. This was curious, since, when I had left the house that morning, there wasn’t one particularly in that location. When I returned, it wasn’t there at all that I could remember. Now tripping over things isn’t particularly new, I was always destined to be klutz with my huge feet; we have a small dogs as well. Surely, the experience itself wasn’t overtly shocking. But, well, a cardboard box? Folded neatly, ready to be prepped? It had slid into
