With a large selection of premier Destin vacation rental condos and homes, Newman-Dailey provides families with a home away from home for a special Father's Day celebration with the kids.

For the Dad who wants to relax, most Newman-Dailey vacation rentals include seasonal beach service, ensuring two chairs and an umbrella are set up on the beach each day for his enjoyment.

Meghan shares full clip of honey harvesting with Lilibet - and gives a sweet nod to Archie
Meghan Markle has shared the full video of her and daughter Lilibet harvesting honey in matching beekeeping suits - after teasing the clip earlier this weekend. The Duchess of Sussex took to Instagram on Tuesday to post the extended video set to The Archies' hit Sugar, Sugar in a sweet nod to her son, Archie. Her caption read: 'Look at all of that fresh honeycomb! 'Harvesting honey with my little honey. (Like mother, like daughter; she's even wearing my gloves)' Like her last post, the clip began with Meghan and Lilibet walking hand-in-hand towards a beehive while wearing appropriate safety suits. It then cuts to Meghan cutting out a slice of honeycomb before storing it in a glass jar. The original video included a rare glimpse of Lilibet's face after she could be seen turning towards her mother. The pair wore matching outfits in a vast field, but Lilibet accessorized with a pair of adorable rainbow wellies. They held hands and were filmed from the back walking towards the hive, before Meghan, 43, bent down and rubbed her daughter on the back. Meghan posted the video just days after her seven-year wedding anniversary with Prince Harry. She marked it by posting an image of a cork board covered in photographs of her, Prince Harry and their children. However, royal fans noticed that Meghan left out a crucial detail about the milestone in her caption for the post. The Duchess wrote: 'Seven years of marriage. A lifetime of stories. 'Thanks to all of you (whether by our side or from afar) who have loved and supported us throughout our love story - we appreciate you. 'Happy anniversary!' Fans noticed the former Suits star failed to name Harry in the post. Despite the post containing numerous photos of Meghan and Harry together, critics took to X, formerly Twitter, to discuss Meghan's caption. Some accused her of making the celebratory day about 'herself' because she did not directly mention Harry. 'Happy Anniversary to me! No mention of my husband. He can be in the photos with ME!' one user wrote. 'Meghan Markle just wished herself a Happy Anniversary! Who does that?' 'Is she wishing happy anniversary to herself?' a second person asked. Another wrote: 'The most epic love story, Meghan Markle's love of… Meghan Markle. 'Never seen a woman so obsessed with herself, and there's zero mention of Harry in her post. Things are spiraling downwards, it seems.' A third questioned why the post mentioned those who have supported Meghan and Harry's marriage over the years. 'Wait, shouldn't it be addressed to HARRY and not to 'all of you… who have supported us'? Whose anniversary is it?' they asked. She also gave fans a sweet glimpse of Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet with a photo of Archie giving his little sister a kiss on her forehead during Christmas 2022 It followed a post from a few weeks earlier where she shared a new picture of Archie, 6, and Lilibet while celebrating Mother's Day in the US. She could be seen carrying her two children who had their legs wrapped around her waist. She captioned the post: 'Happy Mother's Day! 'Cheers to juggling it all with joy! 'And to these two gems who still attempt to climb "mama mountain", smother me with kisses, and make every day the most memorable your mom is the greatest privilege of my life. 'I, too, "love you more than all the stars in all the sky, all the raindrops, and all the salt on all the french fries in all the world."

Inside Trump's long weekend plans at his luxurious Bedminster club with Melania and his children
President Donald Trump will start getting some serious family time this weekend as he, first lady Melania Trump and his children begin their annual migration to Bedminster, New Jersey. Dubbed the 'Summer White House,' Trump's Bedminster Trump National Golf Club is a haven for the entire family, who stay in private 'cottages' on the property. Nestled on 500 acres in the New Jersey countryside, the compound, which includes two golf courses, has space for each Trump to have their own home. At various points over the summer Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner, Don Jr., and Lara and Eric Trump all stay there. The president is expected to spend weekends and much of August on the property. Golf carts are the preferred methods of transportation - each Trump has a customized one. Meals can be had at their cottages or in the club house. There's a spa and yoga center, pickle ball courts, tennis courts, and a helicopter pad. Trump arrived on Friday evening. Melania Trump was already there, having flown from Washington D.C. to New Jersey on Wednesday after her appearance at a Senate Spouses' luncheon, public flight records show. The president usually switches to Bedminster from Mar-a-Lago after the end of Palm Beach's social season, which traditionally is after Easter, and he stays on and off through Labor Day. This year it means he'll get more time with his family. The president has essentially been living alone in the White House: wife Melania has spent a majority of the time in New York with son Barron. And unlike the first term, daughter Ivanka and son-in-law Jared did not move to Washington but are living Miami. Eric and Lara and Don Jr. have been spotted at the White House on-and-off but, again, there is no regular family presence for the president given his adult children have their own lives. There is a matching cottage nearby used by Ivanka and Jared. The president expanded his cottage by 500 square feet a few years ago after getting approval to add a second-floor balcony and a porch. It also has a large turret and picture windows. The Secret Service added a red brick wall around it for security reasons. Marine One can land right in front of the cottage, giving Trump an easy commute home. Ivanka and Jared also expanded their cottage to add a basement and extra bedrooms to accommodate their growing family. Their home now has an expanded master bedroom, bath and dressing room, two new bedrooms (for a total of five), a study and a ground floor veranda. The couple married on the property in 2009. The club is open for membership. The initiation fee runs $125,000, the Wall Street Journal reported. Members can stay on the property, renting rooms or one of the smaller cottages. It's a popular wedding venue with a large ballroom for the reception. There's a converted barn and old stable that make great backdrops for photos. In 2014, the Trumps received approval to build a family cemetery at the club. It's where Ivana Trump is buried. The original proposal for the cemetery plans included a mausoleum with 10 plots and a 19ft tall stone obelisk. Trump bought the property from a developer in 2002. The golf course was being built when he purchased it. He turned it into a private country club. The course has been home to two LIV Golf Tournaments. Previously called Lamington Farm, it had once been owned by John DeLorean, who created the winged-door DeLorean sports car of 'Back to the Future' fame.

Emma Grede Shares Her 'Military Operation' Daily Routine
Grede is a CEO, founder, and serial entrepreneur. Here's how she prioritizes her day. Emma Grede, 42, is the co-founder and CEO of denim company Good American, which did $200 million in sales in 2022, and the chief product officer and founding partner of Skims, a $4 billion shapewear brand. The serial entrepreneur, worth a reported $390 million, is also a mother of four, with an 11-year-old, an 8-year-old, and 3-year-old twins. In a new interview with Entrepreneur, Grede disclosed that she works five days a week, in person, at the office, but still prioritizes quality time with her husband, Skims CEO Jens Grede, and four children, by setting strict schedules for her household. For example, she asks that everyone be at the breakfast table by 7:40 a.m. for a half hour of family time before school and work. And evenings are dedicated to family.

"It's important for me to bring my family together, even for 30 minutes. Touching base and looking at each other is important." Emma Grede. Photo Credit: Jamie Girdler She also says she has "a lot of help" running her household. "I don't have four kids that I get to school myself in the morning," Grede said. "I have a lot of help around me, and I rely on all of that help to get through the day… I'm not superwoman." Grede says while her routine is detailed, it allows her to work, spend time with her family, and still be flexible when needed. Related: Good American CEO Emma Grede Talks Management, Navigating Outside Noise, and Why You Should Always Stick to Your Mission "As much as I like to have my routines, when things happen, they happen, and you can't control it," she said. "I have to have an element of flexibility to ensure that I can get things done." Here's Grede's weekday routine — in military style: 0500 hours (5 a.m.) - Wake Up Grede sets an alarm for 5 a.m. and either works out or uses the morning time to figure out her schedule for the day. "I have a little quiet moment before all my kids get up," she said. After her workout or day planning session, Grede makes a smoothie, then wakes her kids up. 0700 hours ( 7 a.m.) Getting Ready By 7 a.m., everyone is up and getting ready for the day. It can get chaotic. "At 7 a.m., my house is like LAX, JFK, Heathrow," Grede said. "It's nuts. Everyone does their get-ready bit." 0740 hours (7:40 a.m.) Breakfast at the table Grede asks everyone to be at the breakfast table at "exactly 7:40" because that gives the family a half hour to sit at the table together before everyone leaves for work and school. "Now, what state of undress they might be in, I don't know," Grede said. "Is your hair done? Are you moisturized? Are you ready? You know, one shoe on, I don't care. But everybody has to be at that breakfast table." Grede's family usually chooses from a buffet of breakfast items, including eggs, cereal, and yogurt. 0810 (8:10 a.m.) - Commute to the office After breakfast, everyone leaves the house. Grede works from the office 5 days a week, stating that the nature of her role at Skims as a "product person" requires her to work from the office. "I make physical product that has to sit on people's bodies, so I will always be a five-day-a-week in-person person," Grede stated. Related: A Billionaire Founder Admits He Had 'Horrible Habits' — Then He Started a Morning Routine That 'Transformed' His Life 0900 hours (9 a.m.) to 1700 hours (5 p.m.) - Meetings Grede says her workday consists of back-to-back meetings all day, every day. She oversees over 150 people at Good American and around 400 staff members at Skims, and says she spends "an enormous amount of time" hiring new employees. "I hire the right people to compensate for where I might not be particularly strong," Grede said. Her philosophy is to hire well, then get out of the way. She leaves the office without fail every day at 5 p.m. 1800 hours (6 p.m.) to 2200 hours (10 p.m.) - Dinner and time with family Grede dedicates her evenings to family. She comes home and has dinner with her husband and kids. "I do bath time, bedtime, and a little story with the kids before they go to bed," she said. 2200 hours (10 p.m.) - More work and bedtime Grede will answer work emails at 10 p.m., if she has to. "I work all the time," she disclosed. "If there are emails to be answered at 10 p.m., there are emails to be answered at 10 p.m. I'll be on the phone. I do whatever I have to do to get through the day."

Legendary YouTuber quits channel after becoming too famous for his family to have a 'normal life'
Popular YouTube creator Luke Nichols, who runs the channel Outdoor Boys, has quit the platform after 11 years - citing the need to spend more time with his family. Nichols, who had almost 15 million followers on his channel, rose to fame by showcasing his outdoor adventures like camping and fishing - as well as sharing survival skills and exploration. However, in a five-minute video posted on Saturday, the father-of-three said he is now stepping back from making a content 'for a little while' to spend more time with his family. In the video - aptly titled Goodbye - the creator explained he has gained almost 12 million of his followers in the past 18 months alone, adding that the sudden rise to fame has been difficult on his personal life. 'It's been a wild ride,' Nichols explained in the video. 'The amount of time and energy that I've dedicated to making YouTube videos is hard to communicate,' he continued. 'So many late nights editing and packing and unpacking camping with pneumonia building log cabins while injured, but it's been a tremendous adventure and it's allowed me to provide for my family while making wonderful memories with my wife and kids,' the outdoorsman said. Despite the enjoyment he has achieved from making content, the thrill seeker admitted that 'even good things can be taken too far.' 'I think I'm starting to reach that point,' he added. Nichols went on to explain that the public attention he and his sons, Tommy, Nathan and Jacob, and wife Rebecca, now receive is 'overwhelming,' and they have 'real concern' about what the fame could do to their family. 'The sheer volume of fans trying to contact me, trying to take pictures with me, or just trying to come up and talk to me in public can be a bit overwhelming at times,' Nichols said. 'And my wife and I, we both have real concerns about what this will do to our family if I keep growing my YouTube channel at this pace,' he said of his decision. The doting dad pointed out, 'the time to stop is before this problem gets so out of hand that my family and I can't live normal lives.' 'I still enjoy going on adventures but it's time to start focusing on other thing,' he said passionately. 'I've spent so much time focusing on me and my family and growing my business, it's time to step back and focus on helping other people for a change and I'm excited to see where that takes me,' he said. Nichols he still has some extreme camping trips and travel adventures that have been in the works for 'the last six months.' He assured fans if he does decide to film and finish his future adventures he will post the videos on his channel in 'one big dump' at the end of the year. While comments were turned off on YouTube, followers took to Instagram to share their sorrow. 'Thank you for all the memories man, I'm so happy you were able to retire on a high note,' one user commented. 'Luke, Rebecca, Tommy, Nathan and Jacob! What a nice family you are. It's been fun getting to know your personalities on your videos,' wrote another. 'And what wonderful memories you've made for your kids! You all are excellent at showing how families can get outdoors and have fun visiting places around the world. My family and I hope to follow your example.' 'Enjoy what you've created, Luke. Congratulations for being yourself in each piece of content and sharing your adventures with your family, many times I felt like a part of. hasta siempre!' wrote another.
