Saint Valentine's...please spare me.

I hope I am not the only out there who thinks Valentine's Day is SUPER over-rated. I hope not to offend anyone, but I've never really seen the big deal. We don't really celebrate the holiday, I don't think Hallmark/Whitman's/flowers.com/etc. really need my money anyways. This isn't to say I didn't gladly accept stuffed animals and the requisite heart shaped locket/gold plated necklace with "I love you" on it/roses galore throughout my "oh my gosh I am in love and i am only 14, days." I just don't really see the point anymore, we celebrate our anniversiary, well we WILL celebrate it (June 13) and I think that is the holiday that should be about showing love and affection between "companions" as Wikipedia states it. I mean even before I got married our "dating" anniversiary was more important to me than Valentine's. And honestly, lets face it: I DON'T need the chocolate, or roses for that matter. I mean if we had some money to spare, I would gladly accept something really nice for ole Saint Valentine's, but we don't. So, save it.

Of course, for all of you love birds out there who do celebrate, I hope you have a wonderful one. We will be heading to Jacksonville to celebrate our niece's 4th birthday! I am looking forward to the trip because while we are there we will also get to see one of my dearest college friends and her husband. Hopefully the weather will be nice in Jacksonville this weekend, although Cola. ALWAYS misses the snow...it has been pretty miserable around here. Here's to hoping someone has a good holiday!

    We don't really celebrate it either. We never go out to eat on V-day because restaurants are nightmares. We usually make a point to make dinner together and spend the evening together if anything.

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...
