Reapply SunscreenI’m really bad for putting sunscreen on in the morning then forgetting to put it on again, at least until my skin starts to radiate heat outwards. 🙁 Stay HydratedRelated to that last one, there are a lot of things that can make you feel ill on a tropical holiday. When people get an […]
The guy seems like a longshot but so did Donald Trump four years ago!
The kids are obviously living up to the title of the board game by beating their parents pretty handily in a game of “Beat The Parents” tonight. 🙂
