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:)

 Le Top...I love all of their coordinating leggings and tights and the cotton tops are so soft!

 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.

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...
