What Colls wears

I know you have all seen those pictures floating around Pinterest of the darling little girls dressed like, well...dressed like adults.  And they look ADORABLE.  But, that's just not how I dress my child.  While I think it's a cute look, I really prefer my toddler to dress like a toddler...she has the rest of her life to wear tunics, skinny jeans, and jeggings...I've never even bought her anything denim yet.  I don't prefer denim on babies...it's just not that comfy.  We may purchase her first denim romper dress this year...and she was given a pair of denim shorts...but they never seemed comfy...I just like to dress babies like babies.

Example of darling girl...it's cute to play dress up with a little girl like this...but not for every day wear in my opinion. *And yes...we all have differing opinions and that's OKAY:)  This outfit is actually pretty okay with me, it's denim leggings/jeggings i HATE on little girls.  MAYBE once they are like 3.  But, before that they just look silly to me.


Even though I stated the other day I don't dress C in smocked clothes every day in fall/winter (not that I did EVERY day in spring and summer...but definitely most days or either shrimp and grits kids ruffle bubbles) I still prefer smocked clothes for weekends and events.  I tried to post some of the adorable Le Top clothes I got recently for "every day" wear...but for some reason it doesn't look like it worked.  Anyways, here's a little round up of clothes I have either already purchased or will be...or at least something very similar.  And a prime example of why I don't buy myself nearly as many clothes anymore....oh well:)

Viva La Fete

 Shrimp and Grits

 Le Top...I love all of their coordinating leggings and tights and the cotton tops are so soft!
 Le Top
 Smockadot Kids
I love to see how others dress their kids...I know smocked clothes aren't for everyone...but I literally can't imagine NOT dressing my daughter in smocked clothes and a big bow:)  I'm pretty traditional with boys too...hopefully one day I'll get to dress a boy...I'm scared if we have another girl I will want them to match/coordinate way too much and my wallet will be EMPTY constantly!

Happy day!

    I agree! I like little girls dressed as just that! I have bought a few Shrimp & Grits outfits for Baby Evans already... trouble.

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

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 night for a date night, headed to our fav, Sal

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
