My family and I just got back from a 7-day Royal Caribbean cruise that took us to Labadee, Haiti and Cozumel, Mexico. (The ship was supposed to dock in Falmouth, Jamaica also, but Hurricane Sandy had other plans.) As you can see from the photo above, we went aboard the Allure of the Seas — the biggest cruise ship in the world!

She usually likes to take some of the stuff to display in her room too, but I don’t really like how the walls of her room looks with all those push pins. So when I learned through Walmart’s Projects Made Simple that there’s a super easy way to make a section of a wall (or anyRead More ...
