Disclosure: This is a sponsored post by USFG. All opinions are, as always, my own. 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 […]

The app has great graphics, colors and nice soft music. The app is easy for S (4 years old) to navigate on […]

Next week I will start a series about our trip including: Port of Calls: Sitka, Skagway, Juneau, Ketchikan and cruising through Tracy Arm Fjord Cruising with Disney on the Wonder: everything from […]
Picnic Lunches
There is something almost magical about having a picnic to a child. Some of my best childhood memories are of having picnics when we would take day trips exploring Pikes Peak and Garden of the Gods, or picnics on the back deck. S will ask me every couple of weeks if we can have a […]
Alphabet Soup
S has been learning her ABCs and to quiz her on recognizing the letters we created an alphabet soup. We took all of our plastic magnetic letters (we also used the numbers) and placed them in our water table full of water. Using a slotted spoon S fished out the letters one by one. […]
Exploring Tonto National Monument (Cliff Dwellings) in Arizona
Visiting a cliff dwelling has always been on my bucket list. When I saw that Tonto National Monument was near Scottsdale, AZ I knew that it was a place we were going to have to visit during our trip. Tonto National Monument was occupied by the Salado in the 13th, 14th and early 15th […]
