Motherhood changes you. The person I was before I had children doesn’t exist anymore. I’ve been molded by my experiences, shaped into something new. Each day of pregnancy, each milestone of infancy, each moment of motherhood has carved and chiseled and scraped and sculpted me into who I am today.
Disclosure: LEGOLAND Florida provided my family with complimentary admission for our visit. But all thoughts and opinions are my own!
My son, Graham, is a creator at heart. Ever since he was small, he has loved to build and make things. Don’t give him a coloring book – he’d much rather have a blank piece of paper to create what he sees in his imagination! Needless to say, Legos are his favorite toy. There really isn’t a better toy out there for creating and building. Over the years, Graham has built so many imaginative and inventive things with legos. He even had his own hashtag on Instagram for a while – #grahambuilds!
I’ve always wanted to take Graham to LEGOLAND in Florida. We decided to take advantage of the small break from school the kids had for President’s Day to take a quick trip down to visit. We had a blast! There was so much to see and do. We rode lots of fun rides, saw a really cool show, checked out tons of Lego structures, and spent some time building our own Lego creations!

We’ve stayed in lots of hotels over the years with our kids. These days, we’ve got our routines down to a science, and our kids (mostly) understand the rules and what’s expected of them when we’re away from home. I’ll admit though, we stopped traveling for a while after Maddie was born. She just didn’t like to sleep in general, much less when we were in a hotel room. And toddler Graham was just too wild to keep calm and quiet! But now that the kids are older, we love taking trips together. I’ve got a few tips and tricks that make staying in a small hotel room easier with kids.
Before kids, the hubs and I packed pretty light and would just carry our bags with us to our hotel room. But traveling with kids requires a TON of more stuff. We quickly learned to grab a luggage cart after we check into the hotel to make it easier to get all the luggage to the room. The kids love taking a ride too!
The first thing we do when we get into the hotel room is to unplug the phone. TRUST ME on this one. Kids these days are fascinated by a phone that plugs into the wall. (Or basically, any phone that’s not a cell phone.) My kids always want to play with the hotel phone, which is fine with me, as long as it’s unplugged!
