One of the most amazing things our family did this past 2010 was go on a Carnival Cruise together. It was absolutely-positively incredible and remarkable for us all! We had time together as a family in beautiful tropical places… it was heaven on earth for us! Carnival will always hold a special place in my heart because it was the [...]

Today was an early rising day. For some reason, the boys decided to wake up at 5:45AM. Considering we’ve been having to wake them up every other morning, I’m not going to complain! When we opened the curtains this morning, we were in Freeport, Bahamas… We got the boys ready and were heading to our first excursion! A day at [...]

Today we got to head to Half Moon Cay! This island is leased by Carnival Cruise Line for their guests. I have to say… as much as Grand Turk was gorgeous… Half Moon Cay was everything and anything I have ever thought the Caribbean to be. It was – by far – the most magnificent place to be! What I [...]

We woke up this morning before the boys… I almost have to repeat that again in my head just to let it sink in. We. Woke. Up. BEFORE. The Boys. That never, ever happens… and it was 8AM. The boys were so exhausted from a day of swimming and running around yesterday that they were just pooped and so ready [...]

It was nice. Not [...]

Today we had the time of our lives! We woke up to the shining sun, put our bathing suits on and headed to the 9th and 10th decks to have some SUMMER FUN TIME! It’s funny, we’ve never, ever done this as a family. As a child, and one of four kids, too – I remember going to waterslide parks [...]

Not even a rainy day could wipe the smiles off our faces as we boarded our Carnival Cruise ship, Pride.  When we pulled up to the port, I got worried seeing so many cars.  I thought we’d be waiting for for every check-in, go through security and get our tickets assigned to us.  I was pleasantly surprised as to how [...]

I’ve been counting down the days for August 15th since the beginning of July… that was when Carnival Cruise asked me and my family to be one of their blogger Ambassadors. To say I jumped at the chance is putting it lightly! Believe it or not, we’ve never been away on a family trip with just the 6 of us. [...]
