I was thinking about the cruise recently, when the kids are a bit older, b/c it's kind of self-contained and there's childcare, etc. We did one as a family when I was in elementary school and I have good memories. Then I read a blog talking about how people decorate their cabin doors, and wear costumes on the boat, and I just...I don't know that we would fit in. I feel like my H's eyes would get stuck from rolling them so hard. I’m sure not everyone does that. I would bring a princess dress for my girls to wear but beyond that I would just wear normal vacation clothes. Come in flamingo, branch out! You’d be so cute in a grownup princess costume and I’m sure could find your dh a Prince Charming costume!!! You should surprise him with it!! 😂😂😂

I’ve never been on a cruise but MH used to go all the time as a kid. My in laws want all of us to do a Disney cruise. I’d love to but we’ll probably wait until H is a little older. I checked prices not that long ago and it was more expensive than my trip out here!

I’m sitting in Starbucks waiting for dh to finish at the tire store. I’m about to pull C out to eat and there is three separate groups of old lady (snowbirds) sitting around me. I’m wondering how many dirty looks I might get. I totally don’t care, I just always feel like nursing in public is such a social experiment!

No cruises for this cat. I've seen titanic. I don't worry so much about that as I do being trapped on a shipful of people marinating in their own vomit. I really want to do an Alaskan cruise, and maybe something in Europe or the Med at some point. But anytime I start thinking, "hmm, the Caribbean might be fun..." I see a story about Norovirus and nope-octopus.

I see a story about Norovirus and nope-octopus. Yup to fear of getting sick. My friend once got to go on an Alaskan cruise for free. She signed up to teach arts and crafts on the boat for one hour a day and all the rest of the time was hers to do as she pleased. I need to ask her more about that.

Morning. So, this may be a weird question, but I don’t remember having this after the boys. I feel like I can’t regulate my temperature right now, especially overnight. Like I’m either freezing so I bundle under the covers, and the I wake up sweating. Is this a pp thing??? Oh my gosh, the postpartum sweats were awful. Like kick mh out of bed to change the sheets. I remember it went on for a while, not months, but definitely more than a few days. Sorry for the flat tire. I had this after M2. I think I had a touch of mastitis. When I had my 6 week pp check and I got antibiotics for my bladder infection, it stopped, so I think it had something to do with that maybe.

I don't know cruise rules but at WDW you cannot wear a costume if you are over the age of 14.

Like you try to dress like a character in clothes you already have. :shudder: I'm such a scrooge, lol. I guess I could dress like him!

I saw something about this a few weeks ago, and apparently there's a large subculture of people who dress in such a way as to resemble characters without actually violating the rule. My first thought was, "these people have way too much time on their hands." ETA: Amirite, flamingo?! *removes oversized Minnie glove for fist bump*

My favorite was the maybe 6 year old little girl asking her mom "whats that lady doing to her baby?!" I was nursing in the lawn furniture at Meijer lol.

Glad you are doing okay ladystrat <3 Hope you are having fun tgrimes! Did you and chrisy01 meet up? peachsmama I have a GoPro. It's really easy... I just don't use it very much. xolastunicornxo I've never had any bad reaction to nursing in public but I was ready for it if I ever got one. And I nursed everywhere and anywhere. The only reactions I ever got were nice comments from other moms, thankfully.

I don’t think I’ve posted yet.
Hi!! We brought my nephew home with from preschool so the 3 of them are upstairs playing. I need to put H down for a nap soon.
Made some breakfast burritos this morning for Dh to take ice fishing this weekend and I’m going to make a double batch of chicken pop pie this afternoon and drop one off for my friend with the newborn. I need to get a workout in too.
My dad is babysitting tonight while we have a meeting.

Being trapped on a cruise sound like fresh hell to me. Shudder. I actually enjoyed the one I went on. It was nice to go to so many spots without having to pack up and relocate every night. I have trouble with motion sickness (autocorrect kept wanting to go with moron sickness which is also a problem ) but the ship stabilizers made for a nice, smooth ride.

When we were there this past thanksgiving, there were tons of people in 40s-50s style clothing. Heels, tights (!), full face of makeup. I don’t know if there was something going on or that is just a new thing to do at Disney. wedding, did you see anything like that?

There's no way I'd use my one day every five years to waltz around the park dressed as Ursula the Sea Witch.
