How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

An Unforgettable Holiday Event With Sandals Foundation

in Uncategorized on 12/05/13

My daughters and I are packing our bags once more.  This time we are headed to the sunny island of Jamaica to check out all that Beaches Negril Resort & Spa has to offer! I’m feeling both excited and blessed at the prospect of being able to spend some time alone with my girls as we head out on another family travel adventure.  Our agenda is packed full of goodness.  From the amazing pools, to fun filled character breakfasts, to time at the spa to checking out everything that is available for the tweens and teens!!  We will try and take it all in on our whirlwind five day tour.

Just look at that waterslide!!  One event I am most looking forward to is one being hosted by the Sandals Foundation.  We will be attending the “Share The Luck” Toy Drive.  An annual event with the goal of collecting generous donations to benefit underprivileged children in the Caribbean.

The #BeachesMoms will have the opportunity to visit a Sandal Foundation School, bringing gifts from our home towns, and delivering them directly to the little one’s in attendance.  Goosebumps.  I can not wait to share this joy with my children!  What a way to pay it forward. 

I hope you will follow along on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook as we head out on this family travel adventure.  Just follow the hashtag #BeachesMoms for all the fun!
