Here’s to 37! I thought a car pic a day late wou Here’s to 37! I thought a car pic a day late would be fitting to say thanks for the happy birthday messages yesterday since it seems like I am always in the car between school and activities, and I’m always late to respond to everything. Thank you all! 🥳✨ #momlife
Kai & I went kayaking with @risingtidefl this past Kai & I went kayaking with @risingtidefl this past weekend & had a great experience! Our tour guide taught us a ton about the animal life in Rookery Bay, the weather was surprisingly great, and it was very peaceful out on the water. #risingtidefl #naplesflorida #rookerybay #kayaking🚣 #swfl #southwestflorida

I call that a win. #spreadtheword #momshelpingmoms #summerhacks #momhacks #fridayfunday😎 #summerkids #summerideasforkids #momof3life #summertimefun☀️

We had such a fun day at @lioncountrysafari ! A fe We had such a fun day at @lioncountrysafari ! A few more things I didn’t mention in the video:
1) I didn’t bring a stroller, but I was able to rent one there. 2) There is a splash pad area for littler kids too! 
3) We like to drive through the safari when we first get there in the morning, and then one more time when we’re leaving for the day. Sometimes there are different animals being active in the late afternoon/early evening vs the morning & it’s a good way for the kids to wind down before they buckle up to hit the road back home. 
4) If you’re driving a ways like us (2-2.5 hours) to get there, you may want to stop at the Publix plaza just before you make your last right turn to go to Lion Country Safari. There’s a tropical smoothie in that plaza, and we like to take a bathroom break & grab smoothies to enjoy on our way through the Safari. 
5) Bring quarters for fish food & dollar bills if you don’t want to use your card for lorikeet nectar & lettuce for giraffes & goats. 

Have you been to Lion Country Safari? What other fun places in Florida do you love?

Okay this isn’t a mind blowing tip, but I think Okay this isn’t a mind blowing tip, but I think it’s pretty handy if your kids like dragonfruit like mine do. I used to peel & cut the dragonfruit into cubes every time, and it was actually Kai (my now 10 year old) who suggested we just cut it in half and treat it like it’s own little bowl. Ever since then I’ve been slicing them like this, putting them in a reusable baggy and throwing them in their lunchboxes with a spoon. So easy! Do you like dragon fruit?

34.72 miles / 76,043 steps walked - Magic Kingdom, 34.72 miles / 76,043 steps walked - Magic Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, Hollywood Studios & Universal! I honestly thought this would be a stressful & exhausting trip (but I was doing it for the kids 😅😅) because Chris & I are not “amusement park people”. But if you do it the right way, thanks to lots of tips & help from friends, it was actually a great trip - so much fun together as a family!
