I’m Back! (Sort of)

May 7, 2013 | Disney, Travel

Good morning everyone! I am BACK (sort of). I got off the cruise ship Saturday then headed to Disney to meet up with my parents. I will be here until Wednesday, but I am “back” as far as blogging goes. I hope you all enjoyed my guest posts, a huge thank you to them for offering to hang out on my blog while I was away, they are all awesome! I have so much more to tell you about the press event. If you missed the three posts I wrote on it so far, you can check them out below:

I have more great things to share when I get home so stay tuned. For now, I just wanted to share a few pictures from our two night stay at the Grand Floridian during the press event. The resort looked beautiful as usual and the courtyard pool has finished it’s renovations. We were on the 4th floor of Sago Cay.

    I like just being able to relax and read magazines and go in for a dip to cool off every so often when its too hot.

    My 5 year old loved the volcano slide at the Poly. I hope we can stay at the new DVC villas at the GF when they open because I know both of them would love the new water play area!

    This looks like so much fun! I love Disney – we even went there on our Honeymoon. 🙂

    My favorite part of the pool is underwater contests – I don’t think I will ever outgrow them!!

    Well, when I get a moment too myself at the pool I love just sitting on a chaise lounge reading! Nothing more relaxing.

Some days, the scoreboard doesn’t look the way we Some days, the scoreboard doesn’t look the way we want it to, but that doesn’t change how proud we are. ❤️

Yesterday we didn’t win the championship, but that didn’t stop us from remembering what really matters, that our daughter is an amazing human who deserves to be celebrated even on the tough days. 🍧

Parents, it’s SO easy to get wrapped up in the game. Let’s always remember that our kids’ worth isn’t measured by a trophy or a score. Celebrate them. Encourage them. Love them unconditionally. ✨

They are enough. Always. 💛
