Back in the groove.


Things are finally starting to settle down and our new home is finally actually starting to feel like “home.”  We still have a lot to do around the house, but we need a break.  The rest of our projects can be weekend only projects…there’s just not enough time at night during the week, we would rather focus our time and energy on watching our sweet little girl grow! 

Remember my weight loss plan? Well, just go ahead and chalk that one up…UGH!  I’ve probably worked out a total of FIVE times since giving birth…but when I started my big plan…I had no clue what all was about to come.  I am still eating like I am pregnant…food is totally my weakness.  I’m a few pounds below what I started before I got pregnant, but now the real work begins!!  Now that the chaos has calmed and we are getting into a routine, I finally see workouts in my future.  We’ve just been staying up way too late working on the house for me to get my lazy, un-disciplined booty out of bed in the mornings to workout.  And let’s face it…from now until probably the next 10 years (at least) that is the ONLY time of day that it is going to be feasible for me to workout.  I am and will probably always be a full time working mama, that means I will never have the time or want to work out after a full day’s work….that time is too precious to me and needs to be dedicated to my family.

We are slowly getting back to taking walks (or golf cart rides) around the neighborhood after work, finally settling on the couch after we put little C to bed and watching some TV (I seriously can’t think of the last time I watched a full show from start to end, I haven’t been as faithful in my Olympic coverage as I would like to be), enjoying having a neighborhood pool, meeting new people, and soaking up EVERY last bit of sunlight each and every day with our girl. 

I don’t want to sound ungrateful, because I am SO grateful for all of the exciting changes in our life…but I am SO ready for calm.  I am ready for my “normalcy” back.  It’s time.  Time to get back to the routine.  The house projects can wait, life doesn’t.  I don’t want to look back on this time and wish I would have chilled out more…so I am making a point to do that now.  Just CHILL.   

Speaking of watching our sweet girl grow…her latest trick!!!  Of course, she still falls over more than she sits up…but she’s getting the hang of it!

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...
