A Warm Sunny Island Getaway - Punta Cana

-
Hope everyone had a great holiday season. We spent 5 wonderfully warm days in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. We had a rocky start with delayed flights and almost missed connections.. but we made it. We took my parents with us, we hadn't seen my dad in over three years and the kids and I had to emotionally blackmail him to make him join us on the trip. It was a great little getaway.. we stayed at Majestic Colonial All Inclusive Resort. The food was fantastic, a great beach and pool and plenty of activities for kids and adults alike. H had a rough time, he had a fever for the first two days and was a real cranky pants for the other three.. M and I were feeling quite burned out these last few months and decided to skip exploration of the island and never left the resort..

Get ready for a photo dump

Looks absolutely delightful! I hope the little pool shark won a lot of money hustling at the pool table!

My husband and I went to Punta Cana a few years ago and stayed at the Iberostar. The beach there is amazing! What a nice little getaway! What fun! Traveling is a headache though...I love it/hate it.

I love when they add the bubbles/foam to the water. When we were in Mexico they did that on the 4th of July. SO fun! Love these photos, it looks like a beautiful and relaxing place.

A warm and sunny island getaway sounds like heaven to me. It hasn't been exactly cold yet this winter, but I'm fed up with the grey and wet weather, and could do with some sunshine. Meanwhile, I live vacariously through your wonderful holiday photos! xxx

How wonderful that you went on this trip with your parents. Oh, the pool table photos made me smile. We had a pool table growing up, and I have to say, that I was pretty good haha. The beach pictures are awesome. My grandbabies just spent some time on the beach last weekend also. Fun times. What a cute picture of your son buried in the sand.

Happy New Year to you, and thank you for all your visits. I appreciate them.

Happy New Year to you and your family! These photos are so sweet, it looks like you had a fabulous time, give or take Mr Cranky-Pants at the start! Also so nice your father came along, I imagine the boys had a wonderful time with their grandfather there too.

Kitchen and Family Room: New Flooring

When the wall between our family room and kitchen see details here came down we had to deal with two different flooring, old carpet and newish laminate. The plan was to find the same laminate.. we found the box in the basement, how hard could it be? Harder than we thought.. that particular one had been discontinued.. and finding something similar was not an easy task..  Finding a flooring that was kind of close but not close enough would seem like a mistake.. so we decided to go different, this way it would seem like an intentional design choice.. I had always wanted a chocolaty dark floor.. The next thing to take into consideration was the transition between the two floors.. generally what is used it a T- Moulding, that strip you see in the above picture connecting the two floors together. Not the prettiest option. Pinterest to the rescue..  Adding tile to the mix would help to blend the two different brown together and there would be no awkward bump in t...

D's Amazing Race Party

Last weekend our eldest turned 9.. and we threw him an amazing race birthday party! As with all the boys other parties.. I bought a plain white cake from Wegmans and let D decorate it himself. We had a total of nine kids.. they picked bandanna's out of a bag to create 3 teams. First Task Not all the kids knew each other.. they were too amped up with the idea of winning that they couldn't manage to calm down and read the clue.. so we had to really guide them through it.. they made mistakes and we let it go.. it seemed a tad chaotic..  Second Task I had 33 little medicine cups filled with M&M's and Goldfish crackers.. 6 of them had stickers on the bottom. The first two teams found the sticker in the first try... what are the odds!? And the third team had to eat a lot of snacks before they finally found their sticker. Third Task I bought 48 piece puzzles from the Dollar Tree. The boys took their time making ...
