If you have kids under 13… this is your sign to book Ga***rd Palms Resort & Convention Center immediately. 🙌

From the moment you walk in, it feels like you stepped into a full-on experience—not just a hotel. Think indoor gardens, wildlife spotting, seasonal events, and nonstop activities that keep kids entertained without ever hearing “I’m bored.”

The water park alone is worth the trip 💦 (slides, splash zones, and space for parents to actually relax), but what makes it even better is everything in between—crafts, shows, character moments, and those little surprises that make it feel magical for younger kids.

It’s the kind of place where:
✨ Your kids are busy ALL day
✨ You don’t have to over-plan a thing
✨ And somehow… everyone actually enjoys it

We’ve stayed a lot of places, and this is one we’d go back to again and again with younger kids.

Save this for your next family trip 💾
Trust me—this is the age where it hits different 💛

He is risen ✝️🌸🐣 There is no place we would rather celebrate a holiday than Ga***rd Palms Resort & Convention Center — they truly bring Easter to life in the most magical way for families 💛

From the moment you walk in, it feels like spring has taken over 🌷✨ Between the beautiful décor, family activities, and incredible dining, there is so much to do:

🐰 Easter decor
🎨 Scavenger hunts, and interactive experiences for kids
🌴 Exploring the stunning indoor atriums (it’s like traveling the world without leaving the resort!)
💦 Pool time + water park fun for the ultimate spring break vibes
🍽️ Special Easter dining experiences & brunch options that make the day feel extra special
📸 Photo ops with the Easter Bunny + picture-perfect backdrops everywhere

This year feels extra special getting to celebrate alongside one of our favorite families — a friendship that started right here at Ga***rd 💕 we joined them for church and an egg hunt together, it’s such a this place even more meaningful to us. Make sure fit give a follow

It’s more than just a getaway… it’s where memories (and friendships) are made 💐✨ # hosted

This Easter, we’re trying something new… and I’m hoping it makes chore time so much easier. 🙌

Instead of constant reminders, we’re starting a simple ticket reward system using the cutest toys from Collecting Joy as incentives 🎁

Here’s how it works:�✨ Closing shift = 1 ticket (think brushing teeth, cleaning up, getting ready for bed)�✨ 6 tickets = pick a prize from the treasure box�✨ 10 tickets = earn a token for something bigger (day with dad, family fun day, etc.)

They can spend or save their tickets… which I love because it’s also teaching patience and decision-making.

We’re focusing on progress over perfection—even if I have to remind them, they still earn the ticket 👏

And when they hit their goal, we celebrate and make time for them to cash in—it’s all about making it fun and motivating.

All the prizes are from Collecting Joy and they seriously have the cutest toys for this 🎀
If you want to try this with your kids, this is your sign 🙌

Ending our trip the best way we know how… already planning our next stay at Bluewater Resort by 💙

We seriously loved it there—so many activities for the kids, beautiful views, and one of those places that just makes family time feel easy. Highly recommend if you’re planning a trip to Hilton Head!

And let’s be real… if you road trip without a Buc-ee’s stop, what are you even doing?! 😂

We usually drive straight through, but this time we switched things up and made a stop in downtown Stuart—and I’m SO glad we did.

Stack Burgers & Bourbon did not disappoint 🙌
�🍔 The burgers were incredible�🧀 But the cheeseburger egg rolls?! Unreal.

Safe to say… this is officially a must-stop anytime we’re passing through.

Have you ever stopped in Stuart before?! 👇
