The Caribe Royale Resort Review Orlando, FL {30th Anniversary Series}

Caribe Royale

When we decided to spend a week in Orlando, I spent over a week trying to find the perfect hotel or resort. Not knowing the area really well, or the resorts I was a little hesitant to choose one because pictures can be so deceiving. After checking out over 20 sites we settled on the Caribe Royale. I was hopeful that the resort would be as nice as the site made it look, and I was pleasantly surprised. From the moment we hit the lobby, our moods changed from stressed and tired to relaxed … [Read more...]

iFly Orlando Skydiving

My husband and I are celebrating our 30th year together this year.  We are having a ball!  We are both creatures of habit.  We do the same things the same way every year.  In celebration of being together 30 years, I decided it was time to get out of my comfort zone. One of the things I wanted to try was indoor skydiving.  I was able to do just that at iFly Orlando. It was AWESOME! I had so much fun it is hard to describe.  When we first arrived we went to the observation … [Read more...]

We’re In Orlando!

Good morning! As I write this I am listening to the sounds of laughter, pool balls clanking, and Beauty and the Beast playing on the big screen. What wonderful sounds on a beautiful Sunday morning in Orlando. As much as I love the sounds of roller coasters and splashing wales sometimes I just want a little time to relax and enjoy being together. After all vacation is a time to get a little rest...right? We have never been too good at chillaxing while on vacation, and for the most part I blame … [Read more...]

Chill Yogurt Cafe – Mobile AL {Review}

Chill Yogurt Cafe

As most of you know I am a HUGE fan of ice cream. Frozen yogurt? Not so much! That was until my friend Trisha suggested we try out Chill. Chill us basically a yogurt buffet With 24 flavors of yogurt and sorbet to choose from you grab a cup and mix and match (or stick to one flavor if you're like me). After you've picked your poison, you load on the toppings. Wondering what you might find? This ain't your momma's ice cream shoppee! You can expect to find things like Cheerios, Cap'n Crunch, … [Read more...]

Frugal Visit To New York City

New York Eat and Play Card

As you know I love to travel, and we just got back from an awesome road trip with Twizzlers. I loved our trip to TN, and it reminded me of another one of my favorite road trips to NYC. New York is such a fun place to visit, and they have so many exiting things to see and do, but it can get super expensive. To help save you time and money, I thought I would share a few tips for NYC travel with you. 1.    Purchase an “Anti-Coupon” Gray Line New York’s  “Eat and Play Card” … [Read more...]

Castle Rock Resort Branson MO

Castle Rock Resort and Waterpark

During our recent visit to Branson, my family had the opportunity to check out Castle Rock Resort, an indoor water park! We were all pretty excited about it because we don't generally frequent water parks. 1. Because I've never been a fan of standing out in the scalding sun all day 2. I hate lines 3. They scare me 4. Water parks are hard with babies With that said, I knew this water park already had something going for it, because is inside! Scratch one of my complaints off the list! … [Read more...]

Nashville Day 3 – Museums Make Babies Cranky

Adventure Science Center TN

Thanks to some awesome readers I learned about the Adventure Science Center here in Nashville. After checking out the site, I decided that this was something the kids would really enjoy, and my readers were right! It was so much fun! As you can see the kids had a blast, but I guess it was a little too much excitement for the baby, because she would not take a nap. That kind of killed our plan to go to a concert at the Grand Ole Opry, because a concert just isn't as … [Read more...]

Nashville Day 2 – Let’s Just Chillax

pOOL

  I am having the hardest time getting over my jet lag and the time change. I really didn't think being in a different time zone for 4 days would get me this off schedule, but I was wrong. I feel tired all the time, and just can seem to get it together. It also doesn't helped that I haven't worked out in a few weeks. In all honesty, I can't wait to get back home. Last night after all the traveling was through and everyone had a chance to catch a nap we headed out to Caney Fork … [Read more...]

Cars 2 Premiere and Movie Review

Walt Disney Pictures Presents The Premiere Of "Cars 2" - Red Carpet

I had the pleasure of attending the Cars 2 Premiere courtesy of Disney, and I can't even begin to tell you how amazing my experience was. The day started off with some amazing interviews with John Lasseter, Eddie Izzard, Owen Wilson, Emily Mortimer, Larry the Cable Guy, and the producer Denise Ream (who made me cry because she was so sweet and sincere). I will share more about our interviews and some sound bites soon, but for now I want to stick to my review of Cars 2. Basic Synopsis: … [Read more...]
