Spa at Ritz Carlton Orlando

A day at the spa is always the perfect way to spend the day with your girlfriends. I had the pleasure of spending the day with my fellow TMOM's at the Ritz Carlton Orlando Spa. I hadn't seen any of the gals in 6 months. Some of them I hadn't seen in a year! We had the perfect opportunity to get caught up with each other in a room perfect for small groups.

In the room they have 4 manicure stations set up and 4 or 5 pedicure stations. I had the special honey pedicure. The honey is made from the Ritz's very own bees. My pedicure was fantastic and lasted over an hour.

Not only can you get pampered at the Ritz Carlton Orlando Spa, but you can have your get together catered. Even for a small group the Ritz went all out with the food. We got to choose from delicious small plates and custom smoothies. 

Noah won High Jump

I have to share my Proud Mama Moment of the week. Noah competed in High Jump last night at his track meet and won. He jump over 4'4" for the win. 

Cha Cha Cha Salsaria - Mexican restaurant in Oahu

Cha Cha Cha Salsaria is the best Mexican food we found while visiting Oahu. We sat outside on their huge patio overlooking the bay.


They have happy hour Tuesday - Friday from 3-6 PM and all night on Mondays. It seemed like Cha Cha Cha Salsaria would be a great place to hang out at night. We went for lunch and there was hardly anyone around.


It was to early in the day to drink much, so we decided to order one large margarita and share it. This is a picture of our $8 large margarita.  I can't imagine what they would have brought out if we had ordered an actual pitcher.

Our food was good too and reasonably priced. I had the taco salad and my husband had some sort of stuffed pepper.

Le Maison in Newport, Oregon

Le Maison is a small French bakery and bistro in Newport, OR. It's ranked #1 on tripadvisor, so I had to check it out. It's a small place, but they were able to accommodate our party of 6. They do not have a children's menu, but they do have large pastries for $4.50.
It didn't take long to fall in love with this place. It smells wonderful and all of their pastries look amazing.





















All breakfast entrees come with small bowl of bananas and cream.

GetUncommon.com Review and Giveaway

This is a sponsored post. Recently, I was given the opportunity to use my child's artwork to create a custom case for my iPod for review from GetUncommon.com, they also provide a $50 gift card to  GetUncommon.com for one of my lucky readers.

GetUncommon.com sells iPad, iPod, Mac Book cases and more. They have various case types to choose from. You can choose one of their designs or you can upload your own.

First I had to pick out which type of case I wanted. I went with the Deflector. It's a one piece case that offers a slim fit.

Next I had to pick a design. I choose to upload my own design. I considered using a picture of my kids, but instead used a piece of artwork that my oldest son had drawn. I snapped a picture of his artwork and then uploaded it on the  GetUncommon.com website. I adjusted the size and added some text to it: Designed by Noah.

You can take a photo of anything and turn it into a case.

Check out this quick video to see how to customize your own case.


I got my new case just a few days after I ordered it and look how good it turned out. One of these custom cases would make an awesome Mother's Day gift!
