By now you may have heard about the new bag policy at the Swamp (now known as Steve Spurrier-Florida Field at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium). These new policies are not exactly conducive to “growing those little Gators” and will make it harder on parents as they figure out how to bring all the essentials needed […]

I’ve been a little radio silent here recently between the holidays, sniffles, a new semester of students, and prepping for Lily’s 2nd Birthday. It’s definitely been a balancing act. Onwards into spring in Florida! I’m going to diverge from the Gator theme today to blog about Lily’s 2nd birthday party. This is more of an […]
