My family and I are back from a fantastic summer vacation with Carnival Cruise Lines, on their 'Carnival Magic' ship. Our 7-day Western Caribbean cruise left us with so many lasting memories, and I have the 3,000 photos and videos to prove it! As I sat down and went through all my captures, I found myself sorting them all into specific groups, and realized that my photo organization in itself laid the foundation for ... read more
We’re Boarding the Carnival Magic + #LetsGOCarnival Twitter Chat
While myself and my family do travel a lot {and love doing so, obviously}, it's been a few years since we've went on a cruise. Before our very first sail, I wasn't sure it would be 'the thing' for us, yet turns out cruising is a complete blast for us all. Not only is it incredible spending time on the ship, but it's a great chance to see many ports and countries in one fail swoop. Each day is literally a new ... read more

Allure of the Seas, Fun on the Boardwalk
I've been busy going through all my photos for blog posts on our family trip with the #FisherPriceMoms aboard the Allure of the Seas. I got some great ones of the kids and just the beauty in general of 'The Boardwalk'. This neighborhood is a re-creation of Coney Island right on the ship. In between activities, just before dinner or just whenever, we spent a lot of time on The Boardwalk. It has little shops, Johnny ... read more
Family Vacation on Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas
I cannot believe that this time last week I was sitting on the verandah of the Royal Caribbean Allure of the Seas looking at this: If there's one thing to know about me, it's that the Caribbean is my true solace, my happy place. With days full of parenting and chaotic days, an escape to the tropics is what I yearn most. As in, all.the.time. Can you imagine how gloriously thrilled I was to embark ... read more
