Tucking my baby into her big girl bed for the first time 🥹

I cried just a little, I always have such an emotional time when things end or change - even though they’re great changes / milestones 🫶🏻 

I remember the first time a change happened without me even realizing. Lily was a few months old and we had to change her baby bath to the seated position. It’s so silly, but I literally sobbed because I didn’t know the day before was the last time she would be in the reclined position of her bath. 

Since then I’ve made sure to try to soak in all of the moments never knowing when the next milestone / change will come. Thankful that our @get_nanit captured this one so I could save it forever 🥹✨

Does anyone else feel this way about changes?

Sesame Place ✨
📍Langhorne, PA 

We did a winter visit to Sesame Place @sesameplace right outside of Philadelphia! There were so many rides that Lily was big enough to go on, perfect for toddlers and school aged kids! 

In the summertime you can also enjoy their Waterpark 🌊🛝✨ we can’t wait to check that out! 

We also did a dine with Elmo, where Lily was able to meet Elmo and his friends! They also had a little dance party which was super special and sweet!

Cartoon Network Hotel in Lancaster, PA
@cartoonnetworkhotel 

We stayed in an Adventure Time-themed room (the kids went wild over the décor), and mornings started at the Cartoon Kitchen, a quick an easy buffet option! 

Between rounds of arcade games at the Omnicade, we popped into the Toon Room for interactive shows. In the summer time you can enjoy the indoor/outdoor pools (yes, there’s a hot tub for grownups to relax!) They even have meet-and-greets with beloved Cartoon Network friends!

If you’re planning a family getaway in Lancaster, this is the place to bring your toony dreams to life! It’s also right next-door to Dutch Wonderland, literally walking distance! 

Have you visited or do you have it on your bucket list?

This resort is just a quick 3 hour flight from Philadelphia l!
We had an amazing time at Evermore Resort in Orlando @evermoreresort 

We stayed in a 5 bedroom house to fit our large group of 10 comfortably! They have full houses with kitchens and heated pools, which made our stay seamless. Also love that the resort offers grocery delivery and they have a handful of restaurants to pick from on property. 

They have this GIANT bay that you can swim, kayak, and paddle board in. A huge slide and rope swing! 

The resort is just a quick 10 min drive from @waltdisneyworld and a 30 min drive from @peppapigthemeparkflorida ✨

Use code PHILLY25 for 25% off stays of 4+ nights at Evermore Houses or Flats, valid through
February 28, 2025. Restrictions apply *
