Y'all, I can not even NOT share this with you...   When Matt and I started planning our Summer Vacation, we knew we had to be budget conscious.  (If you know, you KNOW!)  Well, of course I wanted to take the kids to Disney - Savannah has never been - but it was just OUT OF OUR PRICE RANGE.  Then, we looked at Universal - HELLO HARRY POTTER - but again, out of our range.  A friend told me that we should look at going to NASA - so long (yet super funny) story short- we started looking into that...  We stumbled upon a site called GO CITY and once we put in ORLANDO -  I knew this was THE BEST choice for us!!!  Now let me tell you this...  You start with figuring out what you want to do on your trip.  Then you decide how many days you want the passes for.  There are several options, so make sure you plan the best for your time there.   Of course, we went to Kennedy Space Center.   I think both kids really enjoyed it, but honestly I think Broxton was really in his zone and enjoyed it th

Y'all- Let me tell you about how smart and creative my girl is!!! I was telling her how we should have a pamper day.. and she came through for me!  So, recently I came home to her having a pamper day with Matt.  He will pretty much let her do anything, yes.. she has even put make up on him (including nail polish and wings on his eyes and he just rolls with it.)  Anyways...

She went and got a piece of paper and "made" a face mask for Matt... Including the "cucumber eye masks" and the little gold pads that go under your eyes...  I LOVE how her mind works!!! As you can see, the 2 masks are on her..  AND THEN SHE EVEN HAS JOLLY RANCHERS for a treat for her customers!   Gotta love this girl! Anyways, I just thought I would share how s

Hey yall...  I know it has been a bit since I posted, but that is because "life has been lifing" You know, the good and the bad... but I wanted to share something with you all.  ** NO, this is not a sponsored post, but I thought it was worth sharing.**  Recently, we decided to take the kids on a vacation to Orlando, Florida.   Of course, we really wanted to do it big and hit the theme parks, but again - LIFE- so we made the best out of it and I think that we did a really good job.   We ended up doing a good amount of research before we decided on a hotel and I am so happy with the one we went with.  That being said, I wanted to share with you...  We went with Holiday Inn Resorts Orlando Suites .   We wanted a room with plenty of room.  Yeah, it was only 4 of us... but with a 15 year old and an 8 year old... Whew, the moods and EVERYONE needs their own space.  Lucky for us, the room we picked was perfect.  It had a nice room off from the "sitting area" that was perfe
