As the weather turns cool and the snow starts to fall in many parts of the country, it’s a perfect time (well, anytime is a good time!) to go on a Caribbean getaway to enjoy the sunshine and warm weather. That’s exactly what we did when the Grand Palladium Jamaica Resort & Spa invited us …
Last week, we took a 9-day cruise to the Southern Caribbean on the Royal Caribbean Vision of the Seas ship. We traveled with grandparents, an aunt, uncle, two-year-old cousin and my three children who are ages 6, 8 and 10 years old. Today, is Day 2 of our Royal Caribbean coverage and we are tackling …
Last week, we took a much-needed vacation with family over the Thanksgiving holiday to the Caribbean aboard the Royal Caribbean Vision of the Seas cruise ship. With the 8th Annual Baby Gizmo 12 Days of Christmas starting this week, it was a perfect time to get a little relaxation time in before the giveaway extravaganza …
A few weeks ago, Sandals invited my husband and I to a “Romantic Getaway” press trip at their Sandals Whitehouse European Village & Spa in Jamaica. Needless to say, when this type of invite comes in, you go. I’ve been dying to experience this all-adults, all-inclusive resort in Jamaica and our 3-days away didn’t disappoint. …
It’s no secret that cruise ship staterooms are small. ALL cruise rooms are small unless you are super rich or a celebrity and happen to score one of the presidential suites or big suites. It’s not a big deal because most people just know that space will be tight in their room. You don’t spend …
Dear Baby Gizmo Family, In the last 21 days, I had no idea how much fun that I would have with you on your big journey from Illinois to North Carolina. To my surprise, the Southern Caribbean just happened to be on the route but I’m not complaining. I knew the little guy still …
Of course, the day that the kids try to sleep in past 8am, I have to wake them to get ready to go on a port excursion. I think that is part of Murphy’s Law or something. It is Day 4 of our Carnival Freedom cruise and it was another port day. Today we docked …
It is Day 3 of our Carnival Freedom Southern Caribbean cruise and we had a bit of a slow start this morning. One word of advice when traveling with kids, especially on a cruise, it to try to keep as close to their normal sleep schedule as possible. Sure, there are people like my brother …
This week we are traveling on the Carnival Freedom cruise ship on an 8-day southern Caribbean itinerary. We will be visiting Grand Turk, La Romana (Dominican Republic), Curaçao, and Aruba.

Last week, we had an amazing time during our visit to the Beaches Resorts in Turks & Caicos for the official grande opening party for the resort’s newest Key West Village. While the main purpose of the press trip was to attend the grande opening party with 54 other members of the media, we made …
UPDATE (June 7, 2021): This post has been updated to reflect current content and offerings. We just returned from a trip to Beaches Resort in Negril, Jamaica. There was so much fun, family-friendly things that we did, that I’m going to try to condense it into one post. If you are looking for an all-inclusive …
Beaches Resorts is one of the most family-friendly resorts I’ve ever been to. I’m talking about water slides, lazy rivers, shows for kids, tons of pools, swim-up ice cream bars, Sesame Street characters, playgrounds, rooms (suites) with separate bedrooms, Xbox center, DJ booth and tons of other activities. This week I was invited to the …
