My Christmas Wish List...

Is Short. Very short. The hubs and I are not exchanging gifts this year...our trip to NYC was our Christmas, and what a great one that was! It seems like the older I get the shorter and shorter my Christmas list gets. Mainly because the items get more and more expensive. Besides the butt load of clothes mom and I racked up on at LOFT one day during one of their crazy sales, I have just asked for some stuff for my house. Here are some of the things I have asked for:

This for above our couch. We have only lived in our house since July so I still am accessorizing. This is the main focal point in our den so I knew I wanted it to be perfect. I LOVE this painting from Ballards, it is perfect, esp. the colors! My sister in law is an interior designer so she will be getting me some sort of sconces to go on either side of this. I am in love....



Of course these bad boys are out of stock, tear. Hopefully they will come back soon...my parents may just have to give us the cash for these and we will wait til they come in.



I am still trying to find a rug for our den. It is so hard. The den/dining room/kitchen (which all flow into one another, open floor plan) are all done in spa blues, chocolate browns and khakis. I want a rug that is traditional looking but with these colors, any ideas?? There are lots of green/brown ones out there, but no blues unless they are contemporary...not so much my taste! PB has a few that would do great, and I really like them...however, I have one PB rug already and it sheds awful! Anyone else have this problem. So we will see if i find anything before Christmas.

Other than these big items, just a few small pieces for around the house...nothing too exciting. Gosh, this christmas list makes me feel old! So grown up now...I mean I still got a bunch of clothes, but I was very practical about it=)

What's on your christmas list?

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
