Weddings! Babies!

Trying to play a little catch up here around the old blog. I want this to be my online scrapbook, so I feel like I can't ever NOT blog about events, I know I will appreciate this in 20 years. So, in other words...expect lots of picture posts to come:)

The weekend that I bit off more than I could chew? Remember? Well, I didn't really, but almost did. Anyways...it was a SUPER fun weekend filled with great parties and best friends.

We got started that Friday night by hosting my best friend Becca and her fiance' Grant a wine and beer tasting party. It was amazing....at least I thought so. We held the party at the Lake Carolina lake house, this place is brand new and simply beautiful. I think everything turned out very well and the future bride and groom had a great time. And they got lots of alcohol, always a bonus, right?!? Now, excuse my out of order pictures...

Two of the other hostesses and me.

Dessert table set up....Chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne "tasting".
The "welcome" table...wine glasses and where guests dropped off their gifts/"spirits".
The main food/tasting table. Don't remember what all of this deliciousness was, but it was yummy. We paired each main food with two different beverages, either a white wine and a light beer or a red wine and a dark beer, etc.

All of the pregnant girls....in order:) January, February, March, March, April, May...pretty CRAZY, right?!? So so fun though:) So far there are 4 girls and 1 boy, waiting on little Jessie to hear boy or girl and we will be complete! I'm secretly hoping for another boy, these girls need some boyfriends, hehe!

That Sunday, we hosted a baby shower for prego Haven who is due at the beginning of January...well I guess we say December now because she is getting induced at the end of the year, don't know the exact date yet! YAY for meeting baby Harper this month, cannot wait!!

Anyways, we did a desserts and drinks theme since it was a Sunday afternoon shower. I hosted it at my house which made me a little nervous b/c the guest list was pretty large and my house is not so large. But, we made it work and it was beautiful. Haven and Harper got SO many wonderful things.

Beaming mommy to be:)

Loved the banner, it matched our invitations.
Some of the table set up, loved all the bright colors we used. Her nursery is turquoise, corals/pinks and green. That's where we came up with the colors.
All the girls!


What a busy, wonderful weekend!

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
