Disney Cruise: The perfect family cruise

On May 15, we went on a Disney Cruise to nowhere. Yes, to nowhere...out to sea and back again.

I had never been on a cruise before and I get nauseous in the car all the time so I was extremely worried I would get sick but those Disney Cruises always caught my attention! Luckily, Disney has a 2 night cruise that leaves from San Diego, California. We packed our bags and off we went!

The awe starts the minute you see the boat on the harbor - It is a beauty! Enough detail to let you know that it is a Disney cruise without compromising the elegance and beauty. Being a Disney cruise I am sure you will not be surprised to hear that every detail was thought of. Right when you step on the boat and onto the breath taking foyer they ask you for your family name and make an announcement that you are boarding the ship. My daughter specially loved that they all bowed down to her "majesty" as she walked past. It was the perfect way to start off a magical weekend.

When are you having another?

My whole life I always wanted 3 kids. Not 2, not 4 but 3. It just felt right. My husband was on board with 3 and when we decided to have our first and I was only 25, I knew we would have plenty of time for the other two.

Being pregnant was magical, I had morning sickness and even got kidney stones during my pregnancy but all I remember when I think back was feeling my daughter move, or listening to heart beat for the first time. I remember it fondly.

When Chloe was born, my heart grew about 4 times it's original size. I know this has been said a gazillion times but I really found out what love really really was when I held that little girl in my arms. 7 lbs, 7 oz of nothing but perfection. I loved being a mom and it felt natural. I was so in love with this little person, my life was from that moment forward - hers.

To this day she is the light of my life, for everyone else though - It felt like the minute she was born she became old news and the question "When are you having another?" kept coming up. Can you let my C Section heal before you ask me about another?

Butterfly Release!

For the past 3 weeks we have been a foster family to 5 wonderful caterpillars! Not the cutest pets we have ever had but they were certainly educational!

We are now very proud to say that our very own caterpillars turned into 5 beautiful butterflies and we were able to release them this week.  Chloe loved checking in on the caterpillars every day and we would talk about the development as they would happen.

April in Review

So April was nothing but a flash in this house. We had so much on our plates that I could not find a second sit down and write a blog post, and for that I apologize.

The April theme for Mother Goose time was the Ocean and Chloe Bear could not be happier. For a little girl that thinks she is a mermaid this was right up her alley. We have a great time learning in detail about different aspects of the ocean and the creatures that live in it. I think Chloe will forever say "Ocean Commotionnnn" sounding like a game show host.
