Charlotte's First Trip to Disney - Part 1

When we got in the car last week, I leaned over and told Charlotte we had a very special day planned - she is going to Disney! Judging by that grin, I think she is excited!

Once we got there, we had to wait for her Grandpa Sabin to show up. He has the secret passes that we need to get into the parks. Charlotte was a good sport hanging out on Carolyn's lap as we waited.


Once our happy party made it past the gate, we had to go and check out what kind of legacy we were leaving Charlotte. Yep folks - that is a picture of Charlotte's mom and dad hanging out on a big granite wall in front of EPCOT. I don't think that kid next to us liked getting his forehead squished by Carolyn.


Next, we had to hop on the Monorail in order to make it to the Ticket and Transportation Center so that we could take a bus to the Magic Kingdom. This was Carolyn's (and Charlotte's) first ride ever on the Monorail. Sorry the picture is blurry.


While we were on the Monorail, Charlotte decided it was time to eat. In a first for both mom and Charlotte, I kept nursing her even after we got off the Monorail and waited in line for the bus to take us to the Magic Kingdom. You can't even tell what we are doing in the picture!


Well, that's it for Part 1! Stay tuned for Part 2 coming later this week. More Charlotte cuteness is on its way!

Giveaway: Bake Me A Wish

Image
This giveaway is closed. When I came home from running errands recently, I saw a big box sitting on my doorstep. As I got closer, the anticipation built and then I realized it was a Vanilla Bean Cake from Bake Me A Wish! Woo hoo! This was a review I knew my husband would enjoy participating in. The Vanilla Bean cake from Bake Me a Wish! came packed in a cooler and ice pack because it is perishable. It took self control, but I put it in the fridge straight away and waited patiently for my husband to come home so we could celebrate life. When we finally got to sample the cake, I put some candles on it so Charlotte could practice blowing them out. We are slowly getting ready for the big day of her birthday party and have never put candles on a cake for her before. As I was enjoying my slice of the Vanilla Bean Cake, Bruce and I brainstormed when this type of cake service might be useful. And here is the list we came up with: When you want a gourmet cake, but don't have acces...

Win Free Cereal

This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. I've definitely been on the giveaway wagon recently and am glad to be participating in the Fall Bloggy Giveaways Carnival. For this giveaway, I have FOUR (yes, you read that right - 4 winners!) full-price coupons for a new cereal from General Mills. Per their marketing, this cereal " combines great-tasting chocolatey puffs with vanilla puffs, a classic combination that kids love. Even better, Cocoa Puffs Combos is made with whole grain and is a good source of Calcium and Vitamin D." I love cereal. I could eat it for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and as a snack in between all of those. I am particularly fond of Lucky Charms. The crunchy combined with the sweet marshmallows gets me every time. All you have to do to enter is tell me what your favorite cereal is and leave some way for me to contact you, either through a blog or e-mail. This giveaway is open to US residents only (because I don't think t...

Note to Self

Image
This giveaway is closed. Winners will be announced later this weekend. Warning: Since I typically have a family-friendly blog, I want to let my readers know that this post is not safe for little eyes. Have you ever sat down with a new friend and found you stayed up way too late talking about every subject under the sun? Discussing religion, careers, and yes, even sex, even though you've only known each other for a very short period of time? That is what it was like for me to read Note to Self - On Keeping a Journal and Other Dangerous Pursuits , by Samara O'Shea. Once I started it, I felt like Samara and I were just hanging out on my couch, sipping decaf lattes and having a conversation. (Okay, Samara might be sipping something harder, but I'm still nursing.) It was that easy to read. The basic premise of her newest book is teaching people how to write in a journal, by sharing her own journal entries. Personally, she wrote for therapy, sharing "A journal is an effecti...
