We absolutely love this ship. There is so much fun to be had on it and it was so truly magical to be sailing on Sydney Harbour. It has to be the most beautiful city in the world.<\/p>\n<p>The party was enormous fun. Craig and I did not have the girls with us so we soaked up the sun on Serenity deck during the day with a couple of cocktails and the inspiring $100 Start Up book by Chris Guillebeau. We then partied to the wee hours with our friends at Ogilvy PR. Carnival is so passionate and committed to providing memorable cruising experiences to Australians, I loved being part of the family for the evening.<\/p>\n<h2>Empowering quote<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/pin\/131448882844046327\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media-cache-ec6.pinterest.com\/upload\/131448882844046327_nkJRuILC_c.jpg\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: via <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; font-size: 10px; color: #76838b;\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\/tammyjmiller\/\" target=\"_blank\">Tammy<\/a> on <a style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #76838b;\" href=\"http:\/\/pinterest.com\" target=\"_blank\">Pinterest<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>Drinks with friends<\/h2>\n<p>I don&#8217;t know how I did it, but I backed up after our wild Carnival party evening to have birthday drinks with one of my best friends. It was great to spend time with my oldest friends again and laugh at our memories of crazy times spent together.<\/p>\n<h2>Craig losing his manhood<\/h2>\n<p>Of course I have to be really grateful to Craig this week for taking one for the team. He hasn&#8217;t nearly evened the score yet though, as I have done the pregnancy thing 2.3 times and childbirth twice. Nevertheless he\u00a0sacrificed\u00a0a small part of his manhood by getting the snip. He was slightly uncomfortable this week but it&#8217;s all for a great cause!<\/p>\n<h2>Pumpkin Patch<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/p\/RCK94yl1DH\/media?size=l\" width=\"612\" height=\"612\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Seriously loving the clothes I have gotten for the girls at Pumpkin Patch lately.
