Odds and ends.

1. I took a sick day yesterday and it was VERY much needed. I was EXHAUSTED. I haven't had a sick day in FOREVER so I felt okay about doing it, I didn't actually feel that great...but wasn't technically "sick." I slept very late and then relaxed for most of the day. I was also pretty productive as well, getting the nursery CLEAN and organized. Good feeling. After this past weekend, I needed this "day off."

2. I am OVERWHELMED at the generosity of our friends and family. We had both of our baby showers this past weekend and Collins is set:) Seriously, we got so much stuff. I am so thankful to have so many people in our lives who love us and will love our sweet little girl as well. I'll have to post photos soon, both showers were absolutely gorgeous...the hosts went ABOVE and BEYOND.

3. Our weather is WHACK. For reals. This has to be the warmest winter ever here in SC. I don't mind....but I do like a little cold every now and then. I have barely had to wear a jacket out of the house much at all. I know we still have some time (it snowed in the beginning of March last year) but so far we have had some gorgeous winter days.

4. I have been having some BH contractions lately...it's all getting VERY real now.

5. We are keeping my precious niece this weekend and I am so excited. She's a HAND FULL and I just love it:) I'm going to test out the BOB with her and take her to the park Saturday morning...getting my mommy training in!

6. The nursery bedding and curtains should be finished very soon! Yay! The ladies who are making these for me let me know it will be this week....I cannot wait to see everything come together in there. The nursery is going to be the nicest room in my house, oops. I've bought a lot of stuff that will grow with Collins though....she will have some of this stuff with her for a very long time!

7. My push present. Ha! Don't think there is such thing as one of these anymore as much money as we have spent on the nursery. I was thinking I wanted to get a piece of jewelry for it, but now I think I want furniture. Typical. But, I finally found some mirrored nightstands that I like that aren't $600/piece. Yay me! I wanted ones with several drawers as we have lots of stuff that we need to keep in our nightstands, especially as long as we are at our current house (NO closet space!). This one fits my requirements and is under $300. I think it looks great...hint hint husband:)


Cheers!

    Love the end tables - imagining sticky toddler fingers on them :)

    Our weather has been crazy warm in Charleston! It just feels wrong to have 70+ degree days in late January.

    That night stand is gorgeous (and reasonable!)- the perfect push present :)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

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 n...
