Holidays at the Disneyland Resort 2015

Hey Everyone, it’s Kimberly from Packed with Fun, the official blog for Get Away Today.

After collecting all the “must-have” baby items with my first three kids, I didn’t think there was anything left that I needed for baby #4. Boy, was I wrong!

Our Royal Caribbean Cruise Review

I just recently returned from the most AWESOME cruise. I’ve been so anxious to tell you about it, because I think it should definitely be on your ‘future vacations’ list. We love it so much that actually we’re doing the exact same cruise at the end of the year. The only difference… we’re bringing the kids on the next one.
