Vacation Mode

We are getting ready for this years family vacation! A first for us as we will be cruising!

I feel like there is so much to learn about cruising and what is supposed to be a relaxed vacation is getting a bit stressful. We will be spending a week in Florida- driving the keys, visiting Everglades and Kennedy Space Center, then we will board the ship and head to Grand Cayman and Cuba!

I am most excited about Cuba, but again, so much to learn. I have  been studying and reading every thing I can get my hands on for this trip.  What I have learned is that it is safe but oppressed. The people want us there and then they don't. It is a way of life and a new culture for them to have their home become a tourist destination. My husband and I have always wanted to travel there so this is a bucket list for us and we are taking in as much as possible.

46 days to go!

Still here...

I am still here. Still trying to figure this whole "blogging" thing out. Still wanting someone to listen, still trying to figure out what to even blog about! 

I am a mom, I travel, I work, I occasionally craft, I try to lose weight, I try to maintain weight, we budget...All of these things I have seen people blog about. Usually, they have one topic. I feel like  Jill of all Trades. I know a little about a lot of things, but do I follow them all or just narrow it down to one?

Then even if I decide, how do I promote? Do I want my family and neighbors to know my thoughts? Or just strangers I may never have to face? Do I leverage my friends and family for more traffic. So many things to decide.

But for all that it matters, I am here. Still just going one day at a time.
