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!

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

  2. 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 :)

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
