Makeover Monday (on wednesday). The guest room.

Yeah, this is pretty much typical for my life these days...always running a few days behind. Seriously, we haven't had a rest night at home in AGES. We always have SOMETHING to do. I think once we move everything will settle down considerably and I am SO looking forward to that.

Anyways...the guest room. I'm sad I don't have better pictures of this room to show...how will I ever remember exactly how it was? Oh well! This room is already all packed up except for furniture...yep, getting things DONE! The bedroom set, which includes a double bed, chest, and vanity/desk were my great grandmothers. I LOVE this furniture, so antique and so beautiful. I wish I had a close up picture of the detail work...so pretty. HOWEVER, I started using this furniture when I was a senior in college...it has been painted by ME like 4 different times, so now the drawers don't really work all that great from years of paint build up. But, since it is just guest room furniture now...I'm okay with that.

Look how AWFUL those floors looked before we had them refinished! Yuck!
Again, another dark, blah, dingy bedroom.
My after.  Wish is were closer up.  And one of my shelves was messing up above the bed so I had taken it down.  Oops.  Paint color is silvermist by Sherwin Williams, it is a silvery/blue color.   I just love that antique bed.  I will definitely use this furniture again in our next house for the guest room...at least until we need that guest room to be another nursery:) This room housed MANY of guests over its three year existence.  I love that.  We LOVE having guests.  Can't wait to have even more in our next home!

    Love the vintage feel and then with it painted black it makes it more up to date. Looks good!

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...
