Spring Break 2k12

Who would have ever thought I would get a "spring break" at 28 years old?!? Well...I did, kind of. My mom is still doing some long term sub positions at school so she was on spring break and since I am still on maternity leave, we took off for Beaufort for the week. It was absolutely wonderful! We took my niece Belle with us and had a wonderful girls week! My friend Angela and her adorable daughter Mary Mac joined us along with Angela's mom and my mom's best friend Mrs. Harriett for a few days. It was so nice to spend the week relaxing in the low country. We shopped, ate, went to the park, the beach, read, rocked on the porch, talked, dyed easter eggs, had an egg hunt, rode bikes and went on long walks. It was just perfect! Miss Collins had lots of "firsts" down there: first time on the dock at Village Creek (our creek where we keep our boat at our house) her Granddaddy has waited a LONG time for this! First trip to the beach...even though she stayed covered up in her car seat in the stroller most of the time sleeping:) First time to the park, first time rolling over (from tummy to back during tummy time), and first Easter as blogged previously. Our house in Beaufort/Village Creek is very dear to my heart and I hope Collins grows to love it just as much as her mama and daddy do.

Our boys (my dad and husband) joined us Friday when the rest of the ladies went home. So it was just the four of us and Collins for the weekend. I so wish I could take full weeks every few months and take off for Beaufort....it relaxes me like no other place in the world, it truly is "my happy place."

Now on to the photo overload that is typical of my recap posts:)

We had a little family photo session....

Collins' first beach trip!

Easter egg time!

Granddaddy ans his girl on the dock:)

In other, more depressing news I go back to work Monday...BOO HISS! How in the world did that 8 weeks go by SO fast???? Can't believe my sweet girl will be two months old soon, tear.

'till next time...

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
