Manic Monday/movie critic

Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Columbia, SC got a fairly rare snow storm on Friday evening...we actually got around 6 inches, which is a lot for these parts! Sadly, because we were headed to Jacksonville, we didn't get to enjoy any of it. We weren't too mad though because we are leaving Thursday to go skiing in Sugar Mountain, NC. Taking a little last minute vacay with the fam because there has been quite a good bit of snow at Sugar this year. We had a very calm weekend, celebrating our niece's 4th birthday with family.

Last night, we watched Couples Retreat. I was pretty excited about it...and then bam, I kinda think it sucked. I LOVE LOVE Vince Vaughn usually, but this is definitely not one of his best. I just didn't really think it was all that funny. Oh well.



I did however recently watch My Sister's Keeper and thought it was fabulous. I definitely loved the book more (I always do) but the movie was perfect for what I was looking for. It was the perfect movie for a lazy Saturday afternoon spent on the couch when you don't mind shedding a few/billion tears. I thought Abigail Breslin was wonderful, it was a little weird watching Cameron Diaz in this role...but all in all I was very pleased.



Next up on the list: Valentine's Day, The Hurt Locker, and Dear John. I know Dear John hasn't gotten that great of reviews, and I realize it will never come close to the Notebook, but because I read the book I simply must see the movie too. Atleast Channing Tatum will provide me with a little eye candy to get me thru!

Any other great new movies I need to see??

My Pinterest inspired master bedroom makeover part one.

The BEFORE pictures. I've been itching to re-do my master bedroom for quite some time now. I am one of those people that likes to re decorate quite often...unfortunately for my bank account. Mikey's mom bought him a full queen sized bedroom suite when he graduated college, which was wonderful. It is very nice furniture and has served us well. But, I am SOOO sick of all the dark matchy-matchy look it brings. I will use this furniture again in a guest bedroom one day...but for now, it's time to retire it from my master. All of my bedding and rug I had previously...I've now had this zebra/brown/green theme for almost 4 years...so over it! Fortunately for us...my brother and SIL got a new bed...so what do we get?? Their old KING size bed!! Woohoo. I do NOT like for people to touch me when I sleep, I need my space...I've been wanting a king for so long. Even though our room isn't the biggest the king is working out okay...we aren't going to be in this h

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

Takeover Tuesday

Surprise Caro, guess who hacked into your blog! I know what you are saying to yourself...I can’t believe it’s taken this long for me to mess with you on here. For those of you who haven’t figured it out yet, this obviously is not your sweet Caroline, this is her wonderful, sarcastic, fun loving, baby daddy (or is it babies’ daddy now?), also known as her husband. (Caro at her finest, throwing me a great 25th birthday celebration) Where do I begin…. I guess we can talk about how this marital bliss came to be before we talk about the author of this blog and how amazing she. Caroline has been the love of my life for as long as I can remember, we were actually first grade boyfriend and girlfriend if you can believe it. After first grade, there was the great divide, as both of us went to different schools the following year. Finally, after 10 agonizing, lonely years we were reunited at a house party our senior year in high school. I, naturally, had always kept an eye on her throughou
