A case of the wants.

Why does this happen? Why do I WANT so much?

I have a case of the wants. Like...really really bad. I want everything...and I want it now. I want the best clothes, shoes, jewelry, accessories for my house, furniture, etc. I also want to travel and never miss out on anything with my friends.

MAKE IT STOP.

I don't want to come across as this awful, shallow person who is extremely materialistic, b/c I'm really not. Obviously, I can't HAVE all that I want and I have never gotten ALL that I want. (and of course, we all have different ideas of this because we were all raised differently with different values, financial situations, etc.) I have plenty of friends who just don't get into "designer" clothes, shoes, etc. like I do. WHY me? Why do I have to WANT this stuff so much? My heart pitter patters whenever I go to the home pages of Tory and Milly...dresses, bathing suits, bags, shoes...I want it all. Why is MY piperlime cart LOADED (I keep adding more and more everyday)...THREE new pairs of nude shoes...who really needs that? NOT ME. But, I sure want them! ( Of course, I will not be getting everything I want...money don't grow on trees people!!!) I get overly excited when browsing PB, Ballard Designs, Southern Living...immediately decorating new areas of my house in my head.

I am extremely grateful for everything in my life, I really am. I realize that I am extremely lucky to have a job, a house to call my own, a car that runs, food to eat, etc. Why can't that be enough? I know I'm not the ONLY one out there who feels this way! I think my generation expects much, much more than anyone before us, *my parents remind me of this constantly*. I do work hard, and I do contribute to society thru charitable contributions, etc. (just trying to let y'all know I'm not some sort of worthless, lazy, spoiled brat! Cuz' I'm definitely NOT!) I wish I could cure this constant "want" that I get. Why am I the one who loves to decorate her house, have cute clothes, and go out all the time! I need to just focus on ONE of these activities....but which one!?!

I get so mad at myself sometimes over this desire I have to have so much. I AM 100% happy. I have things, lots of them. I have love, lots of it. I have fun, LOTS of it:) Why do I get such a "want" for more? Okay, enough ranting...I just had to put that out there. I'm going to make a valiant effort to stop so much wanting and appreciate all that I have.

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
