My ultimate family vacation and enter to WIN one of your very own!

Sponsored By

Cheerios® is giving you the chance to win a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, your ultimate family vacation. As part of a paid promotion for their “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, Cheerios® is sponsoring my post today about what my ultimate family vacation would be. Read mine, Enter the Sweepstakes for a chance to actually win your own fantasy family trip or one of a bunch of other great prizes.


My Ultimate Family Vacation would involve my husband, two sons and myself on a wonderful trip to Australia! It would be from the amazing people of Adventures by Disney. The tour includes:

* Great Barrier Reef

View the dazzling array of sea life by snorkeling among the hidden treasures of the Low Isles. A marine biologist is on hand to answer your questions.

* Three-Night stay in Sydney

While in Sydney, you'll enjoy a private breakfast at the Taronga Zoo, followed by a special hands-on animal encounter; a thrilling jet boat cruise around scenic Sydney Harbour and a privately guided bike tour of one of the city's most eclectic neighborhoods. You'll also enjoy an exclusive daytrip to Tobruk Sheep Ranch, where local Jackaroos and Jillaroos demonstrate their wrangling skills.

* Dinner with the crocodiles

You'll be treated to a genuine Aussie barbeque at Hartley's Crocodile Adventure, where you'll get a chance to meet the crocs up close!

* Ayers Rock/Uluru

Head off to Australia's famed outback for a privately guided hike around the base of sacred Ayers Rock (referred to as Uluru, it's Aboriginal name, by most Australians).

I have always wanted to go to this adventurous continent to explore their paradise and get to know the fun locals.


Don't forget to enter the “Do What You Love” Sweepstakes, for a chance to win your own ultimate family vacation. I was selected for this sponsorship by the Clever Girls Collective, which endorses Blog With Integrity, as I do.

Bridal Show and "Wordle"

Hundreds of brides showed up at the Arlington Bridal Show yesterday. Working a booth there was surprisingly a lot of fun! We were able to mingle with the brides, eat wedding cake and chocolate-covered strawberries, watch an amazing runway show, and hang out. Our booth was ran by my ever-so-fabulous boss, Cathi Banks, our Real Resorts representative, Gina, and muah.

The booth across from us was selling photo booth rentals and were allowing everyone to use their dress-up gear and take pictures. How cool would that be to have at your next party, huh?



Connie Groah of Barefoot Photography shared this nifty website with us that takes the most commonly used words in your blog and forms a text bubble with them.

Here is mine:
