Traveling With the Kiddos!

source

I can honestly say that I probably have every vacation from now until my children are eighteen years of age planned out. I love vacationing and I want to do a lot of it with the kiddos! Since we live in Florida we have the beach in our backyard, but my family has been doing beach vacations all my life.

This summer I want to take the babies on their first plane trip. I figured we should at least take advantage of flying one of the children for free before Daniel turns two. We are still in the works of planning things, but we are leaning toward Puerto Rico with the grandparents!

It seems like the best pick because a) the plane ride is fairly short (2.5hours), b) my dad lived there for many years so it is familiar territory, and c) we get a tropical vacation without having to do the passport thing just yet! So I'm hoping it all works out.

Now I really really REALLY want to take kids to the Beaches Resort in Turks and Caicos! If you know me well you know I've been talking about this vacation since before the kids were born, but I want to do this one with friends who also have children.

The resort is an all-inclusive paradise with Sesame Street characters running around...yes it's perfection! And there are plenty more vacations I have planned like the Florida Keys, a European cruise,Hawaii, California, NYC, blah blah blah :) I guess I need to work on that job eh?

While researching some tips on traveling with kids I found this handy little contraption...

We will definitely be ordering these! It has five stars on Amazon which is comparable to Madonna telling me it's her favorite product!

Do you have any tips on traveling with the littles?

GIVEAWAY: One Copy of Jessica Alba's The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True To You

This week I hit a big milestone since starting this blog over two months ago: I reached 100 Twitter followers...hooray!!!

I figured there would be no better way to celebrate than to give away a copy of Jessica Alba's new book, The Honest Life: Living Naturally and True to You.  This book couldn't be a more perfect fit for my first giveaway. I have been a fan of Jessica Alba for many years and I couldn't be happier seeing her success with her eco-friendly line of products with The Honest Company! The timing couldn't be more perfect since I am raising these littles and hoping to raise them the healthiest way possible.

Whether you are a new mom who wants to help your family be more eco-friendly or a college student who wants to prepare yourself for what's ahead, this book is just what you need! The book is a compilation of everything Jessica has learned over the years on living healthier and is written in the most easy going fashion. 

She features tips on food, staying clean, beauty, style, home, and inspiration! 

And honestly, have you seen her little family? Just beautiful...

The recipes look amazing and I already know my next trip to the grocery store will be a different experience! Jessica really opens your eyes to a lot of new facts with products we use daily on the kids. She gives you advice on some of her favorite products out there that are safe for you and your family.
Rodale Books so graciously sent us an extra copy to give to one lucky reader! This giveaway will be open until 4/09/13 at midnight (EST) and is only open to US Residents.
Good Luck!! a Rafflecopter giveaway

We Heart FL: Ybor City Part Two

After some lunch and shopping we decided to venture around Ybor and play around with the camera. Ybor really is a great place to take photos so I didn't waste anytime when I came across the brick buildings...

These kids have so much personality :)

There is a cute park called Centennial Park that we landed in which was perfect to let the kiddos burn off some energy...

And how could we leave without trying for a timer shot? 

It's a little out of focus, but not too shabby...

We had a fun day in Ybor and now I am hoping this cold weather goes away so we can go out and play :) I know total cheezeball... Check out Part One of our adventures in Ybor City here.
