Throw Back and some new kicks!

Our local boutique that carries Tory Burch is having a MEGA sale...I scored these two pairs of shoes for 90% off!! Yipppeeee=) Happy girl.
I got these in red...something different!
Once again, I am doing two weeks together on my throw back...this blogging stuff can be time consuming and I have not had a lot lately! *Which I am thankful for because the day always goes by so much faster when I am slammed busy*

July 23...one of my favorite persons ever has a birthday=) Last year, we all gathered at her boyfriend's house on Lake Wateree to celebrate, and celebrate we did! It was a super fun day filled with floating in the lake for hours....and playing for survivor style flip cup for hours. If you have never played flip cup "survivor style" WARNING: do not start now. It is ADDICTIVE. It is very competitive, but oh lawdy....you will be feelin it for real the next day. Every time your side loses you have to "vote" someone off the island until it could be 1 person vs. say 5 on the other team...the better you are, the more you drink. Ahem...I've had lots of nights where I was (unfortunately for me the next day) VERY good. Anyways, as usual when my friends get together...it was a wild night with some wild memories. I hope it was a birthday the birthday girl will never forget. I know I won't!

We were team "lifecoats," don't ask...I don't remember how this came about.
The birthday girl and her lover were the remaining two after one game, too funny! She whipped his butt!

Mikey and me=)
Some of my favorite girls.

Well the next weekend, we headed down to Sea Island, GA for a bachelorette party! We were very fortunate that the bride's sister has family who had a house there, so we got to stay for free! It was a wonderful weekend, my first time to Sea Island since I was a little girl....what a beautiful place, if you ever get the chance...GO. It is so different from most coastal communities in our region, it has more of an "old hollywood" circa 1920's feel...very cool. We went and had drinks at the famous Cloister hotel, gaaaawgeous.

The beautiful bachelorette!
Dance time!
Some of the girls at The Cloister.
Me sitting in the same seat G.W. sat in for the 2004 Summit that was held on Sea Island, LOVE me some GW! Yep, a big ole Republican dork!
We went to the Beach Club during the day to hang out by the pool, it seriously is nicer/just as nice as any resort in the Caribbean, etc. and only 3.5 hours from me!
Okay, tootles....have a great day!

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
