In about a week and a half we are going to be making a trip to visit my brothers and my sister-in-law. I am looking forward to seeing them but I am not looking forward to the car ride with Hailey. When we travel to visit our parents Hailey does not usually travel all that well. She’s not awful she just doesn’t sleep very well in the car and does an awful lot of whining and saying “ALL DONE!” The trip we are making to visit my brothers and sister-in-law will take more than double the time it takes to get to my parents house. Sounds like a fun car ride, doesn’t it?

So, other than attaching myself to the roof of the car so I can’t hear her- what else can I do to bear the long car ride?

Next week on July 15th Rich and I will be celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary.  So, I’ve been thinking back to that wonderful day 8 years ago and the days before and after too.  The planning for our wedding was so much fun- my mom and I had a blast planning everything.  The wedding itself was wonderful too- the best wedding I’ve ever been to ;)  Not that I’m biased of anything.

We traveled to Disney World for our honeymoon and had a great time.  We both love going to Disney World, it’s our favorite vacation place.  So, it was a perfect choice for our honeymoon- definitely one of our most memorable vacations.  There is so much to do when you stay in Disney World.  And you’re not too far from Orlando and there are lots of things to do in Orlando too. 

If you are planning a trip, whether you have children or not, I highly recommend going to Disney World and visiting Orlando while you’re there too.  If you need ideas for things to do you can get tons of information from Trusted Tours & Attractions.  They have information about Orlando, Las Vegas, Washington dc sightseeing and so much more.  They will provide you with an online travel guide as well as all sorts of interesting things you can do during your visit.

Be sure to sign up for Trusted Tours & Attractions newsletter for a chance to win a GPS.

I have found another great giveaway that i just have to tell you about.  Over at Tres Fun you can win a $25 for Good for the Kids.  It’s a store with tons of fabulous items.  If I win I am going to get Hailey some play food made by Melissa and Doug- there is tons to pick from.  So, head on over to Tres Fun and check out the giveaway.  It ends on July 8th at midnight.

Here’s my dilemma.  I can’t see very well if I don’t have my glasses on or my contacts in.  But, I hate wearing glasses.  They give me a headache.  It always aches right behind my ears where they press on my head.  Plus it’s just a pain to wear them.  So, a few years ago I got contacts.  The problem with the contacts is that they make my eyes so dry I can hardly stand it.  I found a contact solution that seemed to work for me.  But ever since I had Hailey it seems my eyes have changed.  They are so dry I can only wear my contacts for a few hours before they start to drive me crazy.  So, most of the time I just have to not be able to see because I just can’t find a solution.

I’ve been thinking about looking into having LASIK done.  That way I would be able to see and not have to deal with glasses or contacts.  Of course I am nervous about the idea of having surgery on my eyes so I have been reading quite a bit of LASIK information.  It’s very safe, nearly painless and done quite quickly.  Serious complication only take place about 1% of the time.

If you are like me and you need a solution to your vision problems you may want to consider LASIK too.

I love books and I don’t think Hailey could possibly have too many books.  So, I found a great giveaway today that I want to win.  Barefoot Book Reviews is giving away $94.99 work of Barefoot Books.  That’s a lot of books and I just love Barefoot Books, so I really, really want to win.  If this sounds like something you are interested in winning be sure to check out Barefoot Book Reviews.
