10 Things To Know To Have A Great Time At The Great Wolf Lodge

(Day Pass Review)⁣⁣⁣⁣

1. If your like us we arrived around 11am so we were ready for lunch. Thankfully they have a great pizza area downstairs before you go into the water park. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

2. If you want some additional fun before the waterpark, check out the fun arcade area.⁣⁣⁣⁣

3. If you have little girls, check out the Kids Day Spa downstairs as well which is super cute for kids mani & pedi. ⁣⁣⁣⁣

4. The indoor water park is actually quite large AND they have an outdoor area as well! Both indoor and outdoor areas include a toddler / kiddie pool area. (Great for us).⁣⁣⁣⁣

5. Children under 2, get into the water park without a wristband.⁣⁣⁣⁣

6. If you plan to book a hotel room (which we highly recommend) you get access to the water park included! ⁣⁣⁣⁣

7. Make sure your stay includes the dinner buffet at the Loose Moose Buffet restaurant. We spent our whole day there so this was a pleasant cap to our day.⁣⁣⁣⁣

8. The food at the buffet was VERY good. We felt like we were on vacation and this all you can eat buffet made it feel EVEN more like a vacation, or staycation for us.⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣

9. Check out the events. Right now they have #SummerCampIn and even had homemade s’mores available that smelled delicious! ⁣⁣⁣⁣

10. If you forget your kids life jacket, no worries they have that and towels ready for you and your family. Also, we found out they even have a spinner in the change rooms that dries your wet clothes out. For the win! ⁣⁣⁣⁣

All in all, this was our first time at the Great Wolf Lodge and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We will definitely be back for a family staycation! Has anyone else been to Great Wolf Lodge? If so, how was your stay? ⁣⁣⁣⁣

We would like to thank The Great Wolf Lodge for hosting us today! #Sponsored

Can You Hear Me? Finding Your Voice In The Noise

Have you ever felt like you were talking but no one was listening? I mean of course outside your close circle of friends or family; what about those that don't know you? Are they listening? Is your lane seemingly too "loud" or crowded? 

My mom blog is about my journey, and giving you all a glimpse of how I press through moments of insecurity, failure and to let you know that your not alone. I want you to have a place to come and read and know that someone gets it. Entrepreneurship is hard. Anything worth it is hard. The highlight reel is not a full picture of the days that you have to go back to the drawing board and just try again. It doesn't show the thousands of dollars you spent on projects that just didn't work out. It doesn't show the people that come nor the people that go. It doesn't show the long nights and the days you lack support. 

I have been through all of those things. Each one has taught me a lesson so I encourage you to fail fast and fail cheap. That was the best advice someone gave me. What is means is learn fast and learn without wasting TOO much money. Truth is we are always learning as the consumer landscape is always changing. 15 years ago social media was just getting started now whole businesses run online.  

Need to know if they can hear you? Do one thing....be 100% authentically you! Blessings! 

Favorite Mom Product of the Month! May 2019

Motherhood can be hard. It doesn’t have to be but sometimes it is. As you feel the weight of worrying about something that has to do with your kid, you realize that you need to give yourself and other mothers a break. We’re actually in this together. That’s why when Snugbaba connected we me about her mom brand I got so excited! She has a few genius products that I would love for you to know about. 

Lets start first with her detachable onsies. These are amazing because as your kid grows the feet actually come off and he/she can grow into them without you having to buy more onsies. Check them out at https://snugbubusa.com/

 The other product that I love in her onsie line is the wipeable onsie. Like I just wish I heard about these sooner and I totally needed them with my daughter! I still need them with my daughter but I digress (she can make a mess!). For Josiah he’s drooling a ton as he’s still teething, so his clothes are constantly needing to be changed. Like total win! I don’t recommend a product that I don’t myself use and both of these are definitely being used.
