OUR ROYAL CARIBBEAN CRUISE ON UTOPIA OF THE SEAS EXPERIENCE

 

Hey guys, thank you for checking out my blog today! Hope this post meets you in a beautiful state.

In today's post, I will be sharing my experience with you from my first cruise and also sharing links to my videos with you.

So our cruise was a 3 day 4 nights cruise and we had a blast! The employees were wonderful and the food was amazing too. The Utopia of the Seas is an amazing ship and currently the biggest on th sea right now doing 3- 4 night cruises out of port canaveral, Orlando, FL.

Let me help book your next cruise! Call 470-765-2745 and check out my website: www.maryamsjoyfullifeluxuryvacation.com


We visited Nassau, Bahamas and Coco Cay Bahamas. At Nassau, we toured paradise Island and swam with pigs.
Two of my favorite restaurants on Utopia of the seas are: Windjammer Marketplace and Solarium Bistro. The lamb chops pictured above are from Solarium Bistro.


Here we are waling through the jungle on our way to South beach at Perfect Day, Coco Cay.
This is the view when you are walking from the ship to the Perfect Day Coco Cay Private Island.

We had a blast and can't wait to do it again. 

Here's a playlist of vlogs from our experience:

AUGUST RECAP AND I GOT ENGAGED!!

 
Hi guys, welcome to my blog. Today is a beautiful day and I'm excited to share my August recap with you all. The month of August was one for the books! My babies and I embarked on some exciting adventures and we are still talking about them.

One of the main events that happened was me getting engaged! My sweetman got on one knee and proposed to me in Savannah, Ga under a beautiful Gazebo in front of a majestic river. It was dreamy! There was a band playing a few steps away and some people having a picnic on the grass just a few feet away from us, that night. It was truly beautiful!

These first few pictures were taken at the Riverfront Marriott in Savannah, where we stayed!



We witnessed large vessels transporting goods and consigment by the river,from our gorgeous balcony room. It was a beautiful sight. Savannah, Ga has a ton of history for those of you who might be interested in checking it out! We had a blast and have all agreed that we are going back there again. Although we have not decided when yet.


The above picture was taken at Stone Mountain, GA. We went to check it out August 31 and it was an EPIC experience for sure. My fiance found out about a free laser show that was taking place at Stone Mountain and told us about it. We prepared our picnic and took a trip to the place and it was all worth it! We even bought a one year pass to Stone Mountain.




The above picture is from Constitution Lake, Atlanta, Ga. It was quite an interesting experience. We like to hike and checkout nature preserves and lakes around our area and this place was one of the most interesting we have been to yet.
That's my sweetman and my kids checking out a landmark on our trail through Constitution Lake. You find all kinds of doll heads and captions along the way. Check it out if you like that sort of thing.


 
This picture is also from constitution lake. It was quite the sight to see.

This picture is from our experience at Tybee, Island. We went there the day after my surprise engagement. The kids had a blast!

We also filmed our experiences on our channels. Make sure to check out videos out!

I believe September will have more excitement and even more fun memories. 

Thank you for being here and for your support!

LIFE WITH MY BABIES AND SWEETMAN LATELY

 

Hello everyone, thank you for checking out my blog today. I want to be more consistent with posting, so please pray for me :). I hope this blog reaches you in great spirits today. I do believe that if I want to make something happen; like being more consistent with my posting, I just have to do it.

I used to post a lot but lived less. Each passing day in the past, I would research what other people were doing that I would love to do and then  posted about them. However, things have changed for me and this happened by choice. I got tired of being on the sidelines, watching others live their best lives, while I watched.  Today, I am now living life and making posts about my experience. I have also noticed that I'm not anxious or in a hurry to share the good happening in my life. It's crazy but that's my current experience in life. Peopl who are truly living their best lives, don't feel the need to post about it all the time but occationally. I want my joyfullife to show more than I talk about it. 

I am living more in order to experience more so that I can share from a place of experience rather than theory. So, with all that said, here's a few pictures of how I have been living lately. From the constant fun and amazing adventures with my children and sweetman to travelling to Nashville, TN for business and pleasure. Life lately has been livingness! Yes, you heard that right! Life is in the livingness of it and don't ever get it twisted! All of the lessons and theories you have been accumulating will not apply themselves if accumulating them is all you do. So, go out, live those theories and lessons out. Test them on your life and come back and share your AMAZING experiences with us!























Nightout in Nashville with my lover!
The food scene in Nashville we rated 10/10

On one of my training days, I got out early and my sweetman and I went out and explored Nashville!
Cooky is an amazing sister/friend and host! We had a blast sharing the time with her.
Our time at the Westin Hotel in Buckhead, Atlanta
The babies and I went and fed the homeless last Saturday in Downtown, ATL.
I''m so thankful that I get to do life with my Angels everyday!
Thank you for stopping by!
