Sweet Summer Weekend Recaps

Ah. Sweet summer time, my favorite season of all. I LOVE everything about this time of year; (well, maybe not everything...I hate to freaking sweat!) laying out on the beach, going on the boat, water sports, etc. I feel like in a way this is my season, does that sound weird? It is just "me" I guess, I always knew I wanted a summer wedding, there wasn't really another choice for me, it is just what I always thought of when I thought of my wedding. Whether we are in Beaufort, Charleston, Hilton Head, or Lake Murray I am a happy camper in the summer. Gimme a beach or a boat and I am set! Bring on the suntan, books, cat napping in the sun, and sunsets spent outside.

This past weekend, we had a big lake day party at my parents house, a group of our friends came up to spend the day on the water and cook out that night. Our boat was actually broken, so we didn't leave the dock....it was perfect. We thoroughly enjoyed our "dock party" and were constantly in and out of the water with our floats. It was a perfect day, except for the TWO 15 minute rain showers....no worries though, that didn't hold us back! We used it as our snack time. Sadly, I took NO pictures during the day and hardly any that night. I did insist on pulling the camera out for a few though later in the evening because of my belief " if you don't have a picture of it, it didn't happen!!

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

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
