When we booked our Disney cruise to Alaska, we knew that we were going on a Whale Watching excursion no matter what. Seeing whales in their natural habitat was something we all wanted to do. Humpbacks whales are very common in the water near Juneau, but you only see Orcas (Killer Whales) about 20% […]
Banana Bread Muffins with Chocolate Chips
Delicious Banana Bread Muffins full of traditional banana bread flavors and gooey chocolate chips. A warm slice of banana bread slathered in butter brings back wonderful childhood memories! Banana bread is one of those recipes where everyone has their own. Some people like nuts in their bread…I am not one of them, instead I enjoy chocolate […]
Project Life 2014: Week 6
Week 6 was full of school work, quotes from S, the winter Olympics, a fashion show, and a Lowes Build and Grow Clinic. Here’s a closer look at the left and right sides. So why do I have washi tape on the tops of many of my photos this week? Well, I had more photos […]
ABC Shootout
I am always looking for ways to help S practice her ABCs whether it be recognizing or writing them. On this day, we were already outside playing with chalk, so I asked S to sing the ABC song while I wrote out the alphabet in chalk on the driveway. Then, I filled S’s water gun […]
10 Things To Do and See in Sitka, Alaska
Sitka, Alaska was one of my favorite ports of calls during our Alaskan Cruise. I loved the city! If your large cruise ship calls on Sitka, you will either be tendered into town or docked at the Old Sitka Dock, located about 5 miles north of town. We were docked at the Old Sitka Dock […]
Schlitterbahn’s Moms Ice Chest Recipe Challenge #BahnCooler

During the hot summer months there is nothing better than spending time in the water whether it’s at the pool, ocean or a waterpark! My husband has been suggesting we take a trip to a Schlitterbahn Waterpark for awhile and I think […]
Project Life 2014: Week 5
Sometimes I think it’s fun to be behind on scrapbooking to get to look back on what was going on in our lives. I can’t believe that we had freezing rain/sleet/ice again in south Louisiana and that we were shut down for 3 days! – I know the north was laughing at us! I love […]
Ice Cube Painting
S and I still had our star ice cube tray out from playing with slime; since it was out I decided to make colored ice cubes. I wasn’t sure yet how we were going to play with them, so I filled the ice cube tray with water, food coloring (or you could use liquid […]
What to do in Skagway, Alaska
Skagway Alaska was the northernmost point that we went on our Disney Cruise. We knew that we wanted to take the train up to Fraser, BC, so we booked our White Pass Summit Bus and Rail excursion through Chilkoot Charters and Tours. Chilkoot picked us up right off the gangplank on the dock. Our guide […]
Summer Bucket List
I love making a summer bucket list! Mostly because summer seems so short and if I do not write a list then the summer passes without accomplishing everything that I wanted to do. But I am definitely a list maker, mostly because I love to check items off my list. I’ll even add items […]
