The Friday Five.

1.       I think I took full advantage of birthday week.  The rundown goes like this:  Thursday night with friends, a whole surprise weekend in Beaufort with friends, Sunday afternoon/evening with Mikey’s family, Monday night with my little fam, and Wednesday night with my family (my mom’s birthday was on Wednesday so we always celebrate together).  The most important part of this rundown lies in the fact that there were two cakes and two sets of cupcakes inhaled during these events.  Diet?  Nah.  Who needs to diet?  Apparently not me.  YIKES.  No, but really…very thankful for a week-long celebration with all of my loved ones.

 

2.       I went on a big shopping binge for little C recently and stocked up on a bunch of Le Top clothes.  I love this brand for every day wear.  The stuff is so cute and very well made.  For some reason, I don’t feel the need to dress her in smocked everything in the fall and winter…maybe because I feel like those clothes aren’t as comfy in the fall and winter versions?? Who knows?!  Maybe I’m just crazy…. But I LOVE all these soft cotton outfits for her. 

 

3.       Now that I’m finally getting into the swing of all things “fall” I’m excited about all the activities that we have coming up, but NO…you still won’t EVER catch me drinking a PSL.  YUCK.  *Although I say fall and it’s been 90 degrees here almost every day this week.*  Anyhoo…this weekend I’m thinking we’ll venture out to pick up some pumpkins and such.  BUT NOT MUMS.  REPEAT: NO MUMS.  I don’t know what kind of flowers I am going to get but my mums ALWAYS die so fast.  SO FAST.    What else is there?  We have a very laid back weekend ahead so it’ll be a good time to finish the fall decorating/get pumpkins.  I think we are gonna head to the zoo with my girlfriend and her little girls Saturday morning for a bit …come home and relax and then have some friends over to watch some CAROLINA FOOTBALL.  Please Lord; let our team play better than we did last weekend.  I’m going to soak up every ounce of time with my little one this weekend since next weekend I’ll be in MIAMI. 

 

Cinderella pumpkins are my FAV.

 

4.       Speaking of fall, mama got her a couple of pretty new fall tops for her birthday!!  YIPPEE.  Ha.  It’s so crazy to me how much I DON’T CARE about clothes like I used to.  That’s because all my money is spent on my child…duh.  But, it is fun to get pretty new blouses…

 

 

Both are Vince Camuto and I’m in love.

 

 

5.       Although I was hesitant for summer to go….I have already started to think about Christmas.  GASP.  Only because I cannot wait for Collins to experience it this year…she’ll be so much more into it.  And I’m definitely thinking this is going to be the year of the play kitchen.  We got a hand me down one that is out on our screened in porch right now and she LOVES it.  I can’t wait to get her a fun, new, fancy one:)


Happy weekend, friends!!


Xoxo

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...
