Weekend recap will have to wait....

I didn't get many pictures on my camera, they are all on my sister in law's so I will have to share later! However, we had a wonderful weekend down in Beaufort and I was very very sad to come home last night.

I started "listing" today, and it made me laugh to think how often I do this. "Listing" is definitely what I do when I am bored/procrastinating/being organized/etc. I have done it as long as I remember....I seriously wrote out my outfits each day on a little dry erase board I kept in my room, dating all the way back to middle school! I am very obsessed with being organized, so I think my "listing" obsession stems from that.

Listing when studying, I have always made "study charts", "study time sheets", etc. I did this in high school, college and DEFINITELY law school. These lists were more of a way for me to put off studying longer and longer, for some reason when I would "list" out all the hours that I could devote to certain subjects throughout the day or week, it would make me feel TONS better about myself and my studying regimen. Think: contracts: 4:30-6:00; dinner; torts: 7-8:30, etc. I always find old study schedules that I made and it makes me crack up. Rarely did I follow these like I was supposed to, but somehow it made me feel better by making them.

Listing when bored, I have always made "to do" lists. Now, whenever I am bored...I list everything! "Things to buy for the house, things to do to the yard, blog topics, things to buy for myself, how long to pay off debt; you name it, I have a list for it! I make "general" to do lists every week, which normally include working out (I "schedule" for it every day, although that never happens that I actually workout every day of the week!) a random errand, etc. It is so weird to be working full time and no longer have to schedule in study time in my normal routine...it's crazy the amount of free time I have now! No worries, I have been taking FULL advantage=)

So, this is just one of my crazy ways of staying organized...now if I could just compile all of my "lists" into ONE place...instead of on my phone, computer, calendar at work, calendars i print out, etc.

What do you do to stay organized?

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
