Just 5 days ago my husband and I stood on the sun deck of the Carnival Fantasy cruise ship enjoying a beautiful sunset together while our children were enjoying Camp Carnival. This was our first time cruising and although I'd done heaps of planning and research for this 5 day Bahamas cruise I don't think I'd really understood how much we would enjoy it. I have so much to share with you all, from the amazing food, to entertainment I foresee many articles here sharing our experiences. ...

My 10yr Old Developed Her Own Orange Peach Smoothie Recipe
We are on a road trip to South Carolina but I simply had to share this recipe with you all while I'm gone. Recently I was running a bit late in my day which meant that I was still working on my Fuzzy Navel Mocktail recipe when my daughters arrived home from school.

4 years Sober & Turning 41 – It’s my Birthday Week! #SoberBday
February is a BIG month for me personally, this week I'll turn 41 and celebrate being 4 years sober! I was born on February 9th and I adore Birthday celebrations so it's been the month to wait for since I was a little girl. Little Julie was known to have a Birthday countdown going from mid-August, happily sharing the daily status until it drove my Mum and Dad batty. I remember the year I was 8 years old I kept a calendar next to my bed and each night I'd put a red X across the day with ...
