The Friday (Thursday) Five.

Well, today is my Friday...so we will just go with it.  I won't blog for the rest of my long weekend so might as well go ahead and do my Friday Five post.  I am so, so excited about spending the long weekend in Beaufort.  It has been way too long since we have been there for my low country loving heart.  Too long, I tell ya.  I'm really liking the tradition of spending Easter there for right now.  We attend the church where we got married and cook our Easter dinner and enjoy the day RELAXING.  I know when C gets a little older I will want her to participate in our home church's activities and Easter service, but for now I'm soaking up the opportunity to spend this GLORIOUS Easter holiday on the coast.

1. Last night we celebrated two of my bestest friends 30th birthdays with a GIRLS night at Let's Cook.  This is the second time we have done a birthday celebration there and it does not disappoint.  The food is delish.  We probably aren't his favorite audience bc we tend to lose interest in the actual cooking instructions about half way thru and just want to chat...but the food is delicious.  It's something different and fun to do besides just going to a normal restaurant. 



2.  I am so jealous and thankful that Mikey gets so many days off per year.  Ms. Weezie (Collins' daycare) doesn't take off much time, but she was off today and tomorrow, and while I have tomorrow off Mikey was able to take off today to be with Collins.  I love that he sends me pictures.  He sent me one last night of her cuddling with him and it made me super jealous.  She will not cuddle with me much:-(  I went and spent lunch with her yesterday to ensure plenty of snuggle time with my girl, but she got sad when I left...makes my heart hurt a little.  Love that baby girl so much.

Cuddle time this morning before her nap.

 Mid day walk...apparently she likes to stand up when she rides.



3. Just like everyone else in America, I am wondering WHERE THE HELL IS SPRING?  I mean I got some new spring clothes I need to wear, stat.  No, but for real....this past week has been one of the coldest all winter (I may have just made that up but it sure feels like it.) 

Going to take advantage of being near a J.Crew Factory outlet this weekend.  
 Going BRIGHT for Easter with Loft.
 Perfect summer tee from Loft.
 Another I intend to snag from the Crew.


4.  So, after my long review of my new drugstore brand make up...I think I may retreat back to some of my former more expensive loves.  But, just on some stuff.  I'm definitely going to keep using the L'oreal products as well....but for instance: the blush goes SUPER fast (obvi bc there is less of it which is why it is cheaper, so really not worth it), the ELF bronzer is too much sparkle, need something with less Jersey shore tint to it (my old staple of Bare Minerals).  I'm still pleased with the foundation and concealer, but I'm not really digging using a loose powder and may revert back to my old Lancome standby.  So, mainly just the blush, bronzer and powder. 

5. I went to a Matilda Jane trunk show this week and ordered the cutest top for C to wear this summer/early fall.  Seriously, there clothes are PRECIOUS.  This line is so funky and fun...definitely not something I would want her to wear ALL the time, but so cute and different for every now and then.  Plus, I couldn't afford for her to wear it all the time;-) 

The top I got, shown on an older girl and a baby for comparison.  

 My absolute favorite dress...but it doesn't start until size 2...you better believe this will be in Collins' wardrobe next summer...in love.  The clothes are so verstaile, the back of this dress is so cute and I only pictured it as a summer dress, but then you go online and realize how stinkin' cute it would be in the fall too!  LOVE this line.


Okay, that's way too much rambling for one day.

Happy weekend, and Happy Easter!  The best holiday of all!

xoxo

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...
