The Best Family Cruise ~ Our 2015 Family Vacation (Pt. 1)

After nearly a year of planning, we finally knocked-out our 2015 family vacation and it was a BLAST!! I’m convinced we have discovered the best family cruise out there. If my 6 young kids loved it, I’m sure yours will too!

I’ve been anxious to share our pictures and experience with you, along with some tips for cruising with kids. This is our… one, two… um, third cruise with the kids and we plan on many more!

Top 10 Blog Posts of 2015 on ‘Or so she says…’

Well, it’s been another super fun and family idea FILLED year here at ‘Or so she says…’! I hope you found some amazing ideas and enjoyed the big She Picks! gift idea series this Christmas. I had so many messages from people saying how many gift ideas they found in the series and on the She Picks! Facebook group. I love hearing that… yay!!

Most of all, I just want to take a minute to thank you all for being so supportive of the blog. I always think back to the time that I first had the idea to start it, years ago, and had NO idea what I was getting myself into…

I love this post!! Awesome quote too. Where Can I Turn For Peace? www.orsoshesays.com

Where Can I Turn for Peace? … Like, Really.

I know I’m not alone in feeling like the world is becoming more confusing and chaotic every day. You can’t turn on the tv without being bombarded with devastating and disturbing news. You can’t pull up Facebook without running across contention. Whether the world is literally more unsafe and immoral or we are led to believe that by the media, the effect on our hearts and minds are the same.

Fear and confusion.

All Star Wars Movies for Just One Dollar Each?!?

All Star Wars Movies for Just One Dollar Each?!?

I am so pumped about this and my boys are over-the-moon to finally have permission to buy all Star Wars movies for a marathon! I love that it’s so affordable, but I also love that there are lots and lots of movies available and with family filtering options. To be able to remove the profanity or nudity in a movie is HUGE for me! This is a great family-friendly service that I’m so excited to share with you!
