MAP UPDATE⁣
🗺⁣
Before we left on our RV trip, we got a Europe and a U.S. @thunderbunnylabs map (not an ad!). 
⁣
We take thousands of pictures during our travels and we wanted a way to treasure them. We’re also slightly obsessed with maps 😬⁣
⁣
🌍 We filled our Europe map after our world tour, and finally found the time to fill our U.S. states. ⁣
⁣
📍We added 26 new states to the map, and updated a few states we already had on there. This is not an ad, just a product that brings us so much joy! ⁣
⁣
📸 The hardest part is choosing just 1 photo per state (or country). After that, the web-based software takes care of everything and you can print at home, send straight to Walgreens, or order stickers! ⁣
⁣
✂️ Get the kids involved and enjoy collecting states and countries!!

OFF-THE-BEATEN-PATH ORLANDO⁣
💩⁣
Exploring nowadays, looks a little different. We miss our national parks but find new things to discover around us! ⁣
⁣
This one is a little unusual 😁 but if you have a couple of hours to spare, listen up! ⁣
⁣
The City of Orlando Water Reclamation Division on L. B. McLeod Rd (minutes from Universal) gives free tours to kids of all ages, and it is a fascinating way to learn about:⁣
⁣
💦 The water cycle⁣
♻️ Recycling ⁣
🧻 What to flush and not to flush!! ⁣
⁣
After the tour, the kids worked on three experiments, including slime making! ⁣
⁣
👧🏽 The older kids had a tour of their own, and all kids (+ mommy!) found the experience absolutely fascinating!! ⁣
⁣
📞 Give them a call for to schedule a tour!⁣

MY AMERICAN DREAM⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🇫🇷 Back in 2004, my mom drove me to a nearby American school for me to take the TOEFL English test – required to enter U.S. schools as a foreign student.⁣
⁣⁣
📚 I scored just enough to get into my dream U.S. university… and it was the first step in making my dream of studying and living in the U.S. true. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🗣 My English was a work in progress and with my friends’, teammates’, and coach’s help, I made close friends who laughed at the things I mis-pronounced and were ever so patient in teaching me and helping me navigate the American culture. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🏡 After a year and a half, I felt home. College was amazing, I made friends for life, won 2 NCAA national championships, went on to getting my MBA, met my future husband, and was blessed with my 3 favorite adventure buddies! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🇺🇸 Living in the U.S. has meant hosting Thanksgiving dinners and Super Bowl parties for international friends, attending football games and tailgating, saying “ya’ll” and jamming to country music, enjoying pulled pork more than coq au vin, and living free in a country I am blessed to call home. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
✈️ And the #toefl test was that first step in this big adventure we call life! My first step in living in a culture I belong in. My first step in making easy friends and feeling accepted for who I am. This is what living in America feels like for me! This is my American dream.⁣⁣
