Ultimate Family Vacation

Sponsored By


Cheerios® is giving you the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your ultimate family vacation. As part of a paid promotion for their “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, Cheerios® is sponsoring my post today about what my ultimate family vacation would be. Read mine and Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to actually win your own fantasy family trip or one of a bunch of other great prizes.

My ultimate family vacation would be to take my daughter and mother in law to Paris. My mother in law LOVES Paris and it is a place that I have always wanted to go.  I would want my daughter to be just a tad older so that she could really appreciate it.  Actually, I think I would wait until she was a teenager so that we could snack on chocolate croissants and coffee. We could walk the streets while stopping in cafes to snack on amazing treats .  We could spend our days shopping, because it would of course be totally paid for, heh heh.  Of course, we would go to all the museums and do all the things you are SUPPOSED to do while visiting Paris!!!  Maybe we could even spend the summer there being totally immersed.  Sigh....I am transported just thinking about it.

This is a trip I have ALWAYS wanted to take. I only can hope in the future it comes true!

Don't forget to enter the “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, for a chance to win your own ultimate family vacation. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

My Humble Abode

Image
I started moving in December 20th.  Our new home is 1000 sq. ft.  It has 2 bedrooms and 2 baths.  It has a fireplace and some hardwood flooring.  It is bright and cheery! One of the things that drove me nuts in my home with my husband was that I couldn't paint.  The house was his grandparents and he didn't want to "rock the boat."  First thing I did???  PAINTED!!!  It was so liberating.  I felt like I was taking charge of ME and my space. My kitchen is a cheerful yellow.  It is called Melted Butter and it makes me happy.  I look our little eating area with the table my mom got us.  My kitchen is a galley kitchen but it is a great size and has tons of storage! My family room is a tan color and it very calming.  Most of my furniture is from IKEA.  I managed to put it all together with out cursing too much.  My couch I scored on Craigslist as well as the TV.  I love the montage of frames on the wall bu...

A Single Mom on Mother's Day

Mother's Day as a single mom looks a little different. There is no partner to take the kids out shopping for gifts or remind the kids to make something for mommy. There is a chance that on the weekend of Mother's Day you won't even have your child, you will have to ask if she can come home early to spend the afternoon with you. Mother's Day will be church in the morning alone surrounded by other mothers holding tightly to their children beaming with pride. You may feel slightly sorry for yourself but as you see other mother's you realize how incredibly lucky you are to be in their company and that there are many women who will never be called "mom." You count down the seconds until your daughter gets home as you do every weekend she is gone. You can't wait to hear about her weekend and snuggle on the couch soaking in every ounce of her smiles and love. You will even be thrilled to hear her father's girlfriend taught her to tie her shoes because...

The Big Cleanse

Image
Tomorrow I am embarking on a cleanse. It all started when Cristie and Amy banded together to get Amy healthier. I wanted in on the fun so Cristie and I talked about it, but then life happened and we never really connected. I started getting healthy on my own and things were going great. They still are but I have hit a little bit of a plateau now that I am back working. Last week Cristie told met that she was going to do a 2 week cleanse with some people, including Amy and did I want to join in? I jumped at the chance. Here I am on the day before the cleanse starts and I am FREAKING OUT! First, I am cutting out caffeine. I like to think that I am not addicted to my morning cup of coffee (or 2) but I am sure that I am. This one is going to be tough. I am not looking forward to it. Coffee has become a comfort for me in the morning so taking that away will be hard. I am going to replace coffee with some yum tea and hope that I can get comfort from that. Second, eating healthy is ...
