surprise cruise for mom - Whimsical September

I absolutely LOVE a good surprise! Whether I’m the one behind the surprise or on the receiving end, I have always thought they were SO much fun.

Well this weekend me and Jenn surprised mom with her early Christmas present!

We’re taking her on a cruise to MEXICO in mid-January. 🙂

Not only a cruise, but it’s an Olsen girls ONLY trip —- JUST the three of us. 🙂

It’s the perfect time for this trip; cheap(er) cruise prices, Jen will have just finished her job and be getting ready to move to Kansas, and Jamie will be just three weeks from getting home. It’s perfect.

The next time mom, Jen, and I will be all together in person is a few days after Christmas, so we figured we’d go ahead a tell her this past weekend about our brilliant plan.

So while the family was skyping with Jennifer and Josh, we told her. She was completely confused for a solid minute, but I don’t really blame her because we’d never done anything like this before. 🙂 We told her that not only is it already paid for, but we’d already scheduled with her job for her to be off for three days for the trip.

Once everything started to make sense for her, she got really, really excited, which obviously made me and Jen really excited! It’s going to be a wonderful time. Can’t wait!

Hi! I’m Erica, and I absolutely adore sharing my life on this website with you! I come here almost daily to blab about all of the things related to being a regular wife and mother in today’s ever-evolving society. I share about our new home, what’s on our kitchen table, what we’re hanging in our closets, where we’re traveling to next, my crazy 5 a.m. work outs, how I make time for girlfriends, our faith, and much more. We always have a lot of balls in the air and somewhat thrive on the chaos. I believe in the power of story-telling as a form of inspiration and entertainment, so I’m here to do both! I was born and raised in north Alabama and recently re-planted roots here again after my husband transitioned out of the Army (he is now in the Reserve and it’s going so well!) I’m a super proud mom to three little girls (ages 7, 4, and 1) who seem to be the stars of the show around here (for good reason – they’re pretty great!) I’m so glad you found me and are here reading! I hope we can get to know each other here on the blog as well as Facebook and/or Instagram. xoxo
