I needed a weekend from the weekend.

Throw Back Thursday. (a TAD of a picture overload)

This time last year (March 21) I had TWO showers given on the same day. It was pretty crazy, but ended up working out perfectly. One of my best friends in the whole wide world lives in OHIO (tear) so we don't get to see each other very often. She wanted to host a shower...she and my other best friends from high school (along with their fabulous mamas) hosted a monogram brunch shower. It was so fun, and I received so many gorgeous presents. It was held at the Jasmine House, which is a venue that is rented out for special occasions, weddings, parties, etc. and happens to be owned by one of my mom's best friends! Perfect! I used this shower to invite all of my "high school" Chapin friends. There was a wonderful turnout and I felt very blessed and loved
This is me, my mom (with her eyes closed as normal) and the wonderful hostesses!

Well, my college bridesmaids and some of Mikey's groomsman also wanted to throw us a shower (so lucky!). Several people live out of town, so it just kinda ended up making sense to do it all on the same weekend to save people's weekends, driving, etc. Ten of our friends hosted us an around the house shower at another one of our friend's houses. It was wonderful! It was "young people only" (i.e., my parents came for like an hour and then we got WILD!) We have enough parties and showers with the adults (yes, even though I am an adult my parents friends are still considered "the adults.") We have started doing this "young people" type shower and they are so fun, obviously it is more of a party!

This is me with my FAB FIVE, my best friends from high school!

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...
