How many siblings do you have?
1 brother and a FABULOUS sister-in law!  I have a brother in law and sister in law on Mikey's side as well :-)

What is your all-time favorite television show?
Gosh...favorite ALL TIME?  That's hard.  I'm going with Friends.  Classic and amazing.  Just to throw some more fun into this: my current faves are: Scandal, Nashville, Modern Family, Love it or List it and Property Brothers.

Where is the best place you have ever vacationed?
Hmmm...I am no world traveler by any stretch of the imagination.  Seriously, besides the US I've only been to Mexico and the Bahamas.  BOOORING.  I've been to several of the big cities (NYC, Boston Chicago, Vegas....) but the best place I vacation is Beaufort, SC.  It provides me with peace and relaxation like no other and that to me is the BEST kind of vacation.

What is your favorite room in your house?
Old house: kitchen ;  New house: master bedroom (maybe one day I'll share pictures!)

What are your three must have beauty products?
MASCARA, chapstick, and concealer/highlighter

How did (if you have children) pick their names, or what are your favorite baby names?
ummm...the movie the blindside.  *kidding*  Well...only partially kidding.  I know of another Collins...but seriously, seeing the name Collins written out in Southern Living when interviewing the Tuohy family from The Blindside sealed the deal.

What is something that you have overcome this year?
Ehh...nothing really.

What are you favorite places to shop?
 Clothes?  Piperlime, Loft, Nordstrom, Belk     House: Ballard Designs, Strobler (local), Pottery Barn, One King's Lane...

Where would you like to live if you ever had to move?
The lowcountry, somewhere on the intracoastal waterway,  if I HAD to move. I'm pretty smitten with our current location.  In a neighborhood on Lake Murray (where I grew up), 1 mile from my parents...doesn't get much better than that for me.

What advice would you give your sixteen year old self?
Oh goodness....  boys are NEVER worth fighting with your girl friends over, your parents are (mostly always) right, and wax your eyebrows!

Why do you blog?
For an online scrapbook. 


Now 11 randoms about ME:

1. I'm a lefty
2. I tore my ACL in high school cheerleading and it devastated me
3. I HATE, like totally cringe, over reality TV shows
4. I have psoriasis  :-(
5. I am super loyal to my hometown (I'm weird, I know)
6. I drink way too much diet coke
7. I read all the time, like at stop lights, if it's really good
8. My husband was my first grade boyfriend :-)
9. I am terrified of cats.
10. I am a super OCD clean freak in my house, but my car? ha!
11. I got called Elle Woods in court one time.  WTF.

Happy hump day, friends!

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...

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...

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...
