My Baton Rouge Mommy

Since completely switching my family's diet to clean foods over 9 weeks ago, I've cut out LOTS of foods that we ate before - including foods that contain artificial dyes. Now, as you can imagine, this complicates things a bit when it comes to performing our normal holiday traditions such as dyeing Easter Eggs. So this year I decided to give natural dyeing methods a try and I have to say - I LOVE the results even more than artificial dye methods. The colors turned out much more vibrant than I even imagined.

Disclaimer: This is a sponsored post on behalf of Royal Caribbean. I guarantee that all opinions are my own.  Well folks. It's been 10 days since returning home from my recent cruise on Royal Caribbean's Liberty of the Seas and I think I've finally got my land legs back. I was still swaying for a while there . There are so many things that I want to tell you about this cruise ship and I hope I can do it justice because I was seriously impressed with everything from the design to the high level of entertainment. I'll talk more about the FUN we had in my next post but first I want to highlight the impressive features onboard. The first thing I want to mention is the size of the Liberty of the Seas because this is one BIG ship - as a matter of fact, it's the 3rd largest cruise ship in the world (behind the Allure of the Seas and Oasis of the Seas - both with Royal Caribbean as well). You might expect for a ship this size to come with some pretty impressive
