So many people take their kids to a Disney theme park for Spring Break; the lines are longer than ever. Here are two recommended cities, near Disney theme parks but able to stand on their own as alternatives for family Spring Break vacations.

We received this email from Leah Segedie this morning and had to share. The message itself is motivation: Even if you don't enter the weight-loss campaign, you'll certainly want to become a member of The Sistahood after reading this. --HM
July will mark the one year anniversary of the Mamavation campaign. Over the course of the year, Mamavation Moms have lost over 111 lbs. They were given community love & support, expert advice and shiny fitness equipment. They learned how to live an active healthy lifestyle and then they were tasked with sharing that with their friends and family—an honorable task, but not an easy one.
Since then, a sorority has sprung up around the Mamavation campaign, The Sistahood, and it is comprised of over 100 moms of all shapes and sizes supporting one another in a real community and helping each other reach their healthy goals. Women who are perfect need not apply, because you won’t fit in. We are a group of women who are learning healthy living imperfectly and sharing our discoveries with each other in a humble supportive fashion.
The Mamavation campaign doesn’t stand for just getting skinnier, it stands for families. We are a movement—moms who want a better life for their family and are comfortable using social media to reach those goals. We want to effect real lasting change within ourselves and within our immediate reach. And we recognize that moms are the only ones in the family unit who have the power to create change. We control the pocketbook and calendar. And as mother lions, we have the ability and passion to create a life for our children that was better than the one we were dealt. We are the catalysts and the cornerstone. We are moms.
This Monday, June 21st, will mark the first day that applications are accepted for Mamavation campaign #5. Any mom in social media with an active blog and twitter account is encouraged to apply, but this campaign is NOT for the faint of heart. @Bookieboo will demand ultimate submission to the process, the community, and the lifestyle. Yes, there is incredible fitness swag, but that is only a bonus to someone who truly wants to change their life and the life of their family. In order to become a Mamavation Mom, the applicant must be considered “overweight” or higher on the BMI scale. She must have a family and be willing to share her lifestyle with them. The ultimate goal of the program is to spare herself and the family from the symptoms of obesity and give everyone a healthy new lifestyle.
If you know someone who could use a Mamavation, send them here, http://www.mamavation.com/2009/06/about.html. They can either apply to the Mamavation campaign to become an official Mamavation Mom OR they can pledge to the Sistahood. But either way, send them our way so we can encourage them to get healthier.
