I’m so excited that my family is taking our first family cruise this week. Each night (Internet permitting!), I will be sharing the highlights of each day along with my family’s general thoughts about cruising. Today, we checked in at around 12:30.

At this week’s parent/teacher conference, my suspicions were confirmed… If you have followed my blog over the last few years, you are aware that I am not the “stereotypical” New York mom when it comes to the education of my kids.
