How to Stay Healthy Before (And During) a Vacation

There’s a really funny meme that’s circulating lately that goes:

Before I had kids, I thought I had a great immune system. Turns out I was just really good at staying away from the type of people who sneeze directly into your eyeballs while telling a story.

Kids are so gross! I’ve never had the best immune system, but since becoming a mom it seems like I’m always sick between the months of September and May. It’s not fun. I also always seem to get sick when we travel. And we travel a lot! Before our big cruise in January, I made a long list of things to do to (try) and keep my family healthy before we set sail. And guess what – it worked! We actually stayed well during the entire trip! But I DID get sick the day after we got home. (Ridiculous, right?) I’ll share my list below, but please remember – I’m not a doctor and you should consult with your primary care doctor before taking any medicine or supplements.

Disney Cruise Day 2 at Castaway Cay

We woke up to a gorgeous view out of our verandah on the second day of our cruise. Disney Cruiseline has its own private island called Castaway Cay – it’s one of my favorite parts of the Bahamas cruise itinerary! I was so pumped about spending the day at the beach that I actually woke up before everyone else. So I decided to go up to deck 11 to grab some coffee and take some pictures of the ship while it was still quiet and calm.

That view!

Disney Cruise Day 1 Recap and Video | sunshineandholly.com

I’ve been dying to take another Disney Cruise since we got home from our first one last April. My dad joined us this time and we were all SO ready to make some wonderful memories on the Disney Dream. We got to the port super early and scored boarding group 2. That meant that we were some of the first people on the ship! It was a really great first day, despite the kids being a little grumpy. I think they were probably just a little overwhelmed.

Planning a trip to Disney soon? I’ve rounded up a bunch of fun Disney shirts for the men in your life. Maybe your guy is just NOT into matching shirts. Or maybe he’s a die-hard Disney fan! Or maybe he just loves Star Wars. No matter what, I’ve got shirts for every type of guy.

I’m lucky that my husband likes Disney World almost as much as I do. Our love of the parks started way back in 2007 on our honeymoon. We’ve been to Disney about a dozen times since then, and it never gets old. And yes, we both love wearing Disney shirts at the parks!

Don’t forget to check out my post with matching couples Disney shirts and my post with lots of princess Disney Bounding ideas!

Weekend Recap Helen Georgia | sunshineandholly.com

We had a great weekend in North Georgia! My parents have a timeshare in Helen and we usually stay there a few days each year. Helen is a small German-themed town with lots of character. I’ve been visiting almost every year since I was little. There isn’t a ton to do, but we enjoy spending time together and hitting up a few of our favorite spots!

Weekend Recap – Helen Georgia

We always stop at Jaemor Farms on the way up to the timeshare.
