Of the 44 species of snakes in Florida, 38 of them are non-venomous and usually relatively small. If you see a large snake you don’t recognize as non-venomous, don’t dismiss it as non-harmless, and be sure to exercise caution whenever you interact with snakes of any species.

Bed bugs are small, round brown insects that feed on human blood, especially at night. They can cause massive, large-scale infestations relatively quickly and often require repeated treatments until they can be completely removed from a location. Since they spread so easily (usually by clinging to personal items)  vigilance is important in order to keep them out of your home. Even some of the best hotels in the south can find themselves with a bedbug infestation during the warmer months when visitor traffic is high and humans are in close, dense proximity.  It’s important for anyone hoping to spend time…

Humans have been taking care of each other for thousands of years; protecting each other, forming connections, and appreciating life and the world around them. In Vietnam, archeologists studying the Neolithic burial site of Mán Bạc unearthed the body of a…

It’s in those moments that we look back on with the most sentiment and joy. When we feel connected to those moments of kindness, it makes the future feel a…
