  3. Fairy garden parties for everyone! 🙂 Love that and I'm going to try to do something like that for my girls and their friends. Also, they get invited to a neighbor's party every year, and I think a fairy garden would make a great hostess gift :). And thanks for the song!

  1. In case you were interested, many of those dolls from Plato Squirrel were originally created by Gingermelon. If you go to her etsy page, you can not only get dolls, but many patterns to create them yourself, which is excellent if you want to make a set or customize for someone special!

  1. go on the train ride out of Skagway if that is one of your stops. take the walk in Ketchikan to see the salmon if you have time. explore the culture and don't stay too long in shops. stay out on the deck of the boat as much as possible, the whales and scenery are amazing!

    Reply

  3. Bring warm clothes – June is NOT warm in Alaska (we kinda learned the hard way!). Stay out late – it's so fun to be walking around at midnight and it's not dark! And bring your swimsuit…we were the ONLY people we ever saw in the hot tubs on the ship.

    Reply

  4. Explore Alaska and not just the towns with all the shops. Plan your excursions so you can enjoy the beautiful scenery. I completely agree with the train ride, it was truly amazing and a memory I will never forget.
    Have fun.

  5. Hi Jodie!

    My husband and I did an Alaskan cruise for our honeymoon a year ago. I have lots of tips but here are the ones that came to mind first:
    – 100% book with a cruise line that is well received in Alaska. We went on Princess but Norwegian also has a good reputation. Other cruise lines had to anchor outside of the ports and their passengers had to ride (in lifeboats!) into the dock. We jumped on and off in a snap.
    -Book an itinerary with Glacier Bay National Park (vs. Tracey Arm Fjord). My personal opinion is that the caving glaciers were even more beautiful than the Grand Canyon.
    – 100% book a room with a balcony. A window will not do Alaska justice. Order hot coco and extra blankets and "sunbathe" as you watch the glaciers, icebergs and marine life.
    -Bring two pairs of binoculars. Having one to share was a misstep on our part.
    – Bring snacks and a book to read or something else to do during the boarding process it is a long wait (mostly standing). On the end of your trip, if you're able, elect to carry your own luggage off. Otherwise you have to do the check-in process in reverse. I was so glad someone suggested this to us at dinner.
    – Do "freestyle" dinning if your cruise line offers it. Not having to eat before you're hungry or rush to make a certain time was awesome. Sometimes we sat just us (it was our honeymoon after all) but sometimes we sat with larger groups of strangers that became friends.
    -Prepare for rain as well as the temps. Spring/summer in Alaska can be wet… although we had excess of rain gear because our trip was 70 degrees and sunny all ten days.
    – Get out of town. The port cities are tourist traps with tacky souvenir and jewelry shops. Go to Liarsville for the salmon (and the honey glaze), ride the train (see above), etc. A not to miss for us was the campy lumberjack show in Skagway.
    -Lastly, have a great time! Our trip was perfection and I'm feel so lucky that we got to experience such a fantastic part of the country. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

    I think that's the biggies, if I think of anything else I'll come back and add them.

    BTW, first time commenter, long time reader!

    Thanks and have a great weekend! Morgan

    Reply

    • Hi Morgan! Thanks so much for the tips. We are on the money with the booking tips you suggested and we will be sure to do everything else. Love the advice and yes….please let me know if you think of anything else 🙂

      Reply

  8. I live in beautiful Anchorage, Alaska! Bring warm clothes (sunny and 62° today) You will be an awe of Alaska's beauty and wildlife! I have lived here for 35+ years– it never gets old! 🙂

    Reply

  9. I have been on 3 cruises to Alaska and love it and I know you will too! You will see some whales from your ship but I suggest you book a whale excursion on a small boat to get an awesome experience. To save money on all your excursions and be with a smaller group I recommend reserving them before you go and with a reputable tour company (not the cruise line).
    And take a raincoat or poncho as they have a fair amount of "liquid sunshine".

    Reply

    • Sounds good Becki! I will look into that. We will also make sure to bring the rain gear. Thanks so much!

      P.S How lucky are you to have gone 3 times?! That is awesome. 🙂

      Reply

  11. I've never been on a cruise, but my family and several of my friends have been on several and they have always told me if I took a cruise to ask my doctor about getting a dramamine patch. I'm not prone to motion sickness, but my dad who is retired Navy has told me that it does help. They have seen several passengers so sick they weren't able to enjoy the cruise. Have a great time.

    Reply

    • Good thinking! I wonder if it's better than just taking the Dramamine? I'l look into that. I definitely don't want to be sick on this vacation. Thank you!

      Reply

  12. I've never been on a cruise to Alaska… but my parents live in Anchorage and we're headed up there to visit them this summer! Got to escape this Vegas heat somehow!

    Reply

  13. Great tips so far. I'll add 2. Bring warm gloves. Visit any and all Visitor Centers in any towns you stop in. They can tell you the best places not to miss. Have a great time-I know we did!

    Reply

  14. As far as motion sickness – you are not as apt to be bothered by this on this cruise as you will be between land. I do have a problem sometimes in the Caribbean but I suggest you avoid Dramamine as it will make you drowsy. Try the seabands (wrist bands). They are about $10 at the drugstore or if you want to take medication take Bonine. It won't make you drowsy.

    Reply

  15. are you doing the land and sea tour, or just the sea part? we were told to get a port side balcony, and that did not disappoint in glacier bay. we literally did not leave our room that day-sine room service is free, we ordered all our meals that way so as not to miss anything or any possible animal sighting. it was well worth it.

    Reply

  16. Just arrived home from Alaska this morning. I suggest at least an extra day or two in Vancouver. We stayed at Sutton Place great price on Expedia. In Anchorage try the Snow City Cafe for Breakfast or Lunch. It will not disappoint. Bring a hat, I needed it last week. The train ride by far was my favorite.

  5. I rewatched Fat Sick and Nearly dead and broke out my new juicer. We used to have the Breville one but then switched to one that cold presses so that the juice stays more viable. (It's also way quieter) It's delicious, and we feel great but I'm not sure I could do a full fast. Even today I had a brain fart at work and can't even imagine how spacey I'd be on no food. Plus I'd have to juice for an hour the night before to have juice for the whole next day. It's so tempting though.

    • It has helped to juice at night and Matt has helped a lot with prep so, that has been nice too! Wish you could've come with us to Maroon 5….that would've been a blast!

  9. I want your thoughts on juicing and what you learn! I got a juicer for Christmas and have juiced every day since. I LOVE it!

Thought that was interesting.

    • That is VERY interesting. Day 1 is under my belt. Last night at about 5:00 it got pretty stinking hard but I can breeze through the day. I will keep you posted!

    • Haha…noticed that I left out "who"–my mom. Anyway, I know night time would be the hardest for me too. I always want to eat more from about 5:00 anyway! I want to try an actual juice fast when I'm done nursing.

  4. *I live like 2 minutes from the green valley ranch casino — I only discovered recently how beautiful their pool is! Fun for you!
    *Ya, The Bachelorette was pretty sad. I hated that she was so into him but he was just ehh. I had high hopes for him, but if you're not feeling it you're not feeling it. I'm very interested to see what goes down in next week's episode and the "After the final rose" episode. I'm very curious about where everybody is at now — Des, Brooks, and Drew & Chris after watching the season unfold.

  1. I love all of these! Commercial = hilarious, bow = adorable, cups = LOVE this song!, potty training = don't miss those days :), dove real beauty = eye opening (I too posted that one on my blog a week or so ago). Have a great weekend!

    Reply

  3. i like the song when i'm gone, but if my kids do the cup part of it on my kitchen counter, the wall, the bureau, the car……one more time…..

    Reply

  4. I SO love the cups song! Man, serious talent! And I will definitely be checking out the potty training app…I've been dreading it with my almost 3 year old…

    Reply

  5. These are awesome videos! That Pepsi/Jeff Gordon one is for my son – he'll get a kick out of it. And the cups song is definitely for my daughter – she loves Pitch Perfect. I guess the Dove video is for me. 🙂
    Thanks for sharing!

  3. Where's the kid's parkas? Trying to freeze them? JK…on Christmas morning here it was COLD…-18C or so, brrr.
    Love the Articles of Faith cards…just released from Primary though.
    I'm thinking about getting my sewing done! I have two blouses and a new temple outfit/dress (as yet pattern not decided on nor fabric (white) chosen…not sure if polar fleece is reverent enough…our new temple is cold!).

    Happy New Year!

    Reply

  4. What cute kids you have! I Love the stockings also… thanks for sharing your fav's today! I really look forward to you and your sister's Friday Fav's! Happy New Year!

  7. I ran into Target this week to pick up gloves, and had to touch all the new stuff (and I may have bought a new piggie bank…it was a citron yellow bird)…how was I supposed to resist all their cuteness?

    Reply

  8. I'm thinking even with the world being unsettled I feel happy and optimistic for this year. I LOVE new beginnings and fresh starts!!

    Reply

  10. Found this post on pinterest and our primary kids have done really well with the AofF punch cards.Even my 3yr old is learning them and two of our senior primary kids have already filled their punch cards!

    I was wondering if you've considered making punch cards for the monthly primary scripture? Our primary pres wants to challenge some of the older kids, and I would love for the cards to match or at least look like a set. I'm willing to make my own, but would you mind emailing me with some details (ie fonts, etc.)? Thanks!
