Spring shopping

I've been slowly trying to buy some stuff for MYSELF lately.  It seems I'm always buying for the kiddos or the house, which is fine. I'm at a point in my life where I would much rather put my money towards my house than clothes. They just don't matter to me that much anymore. Sure, I get the wants every now and then and want to go blow $1,000 on designer duds... But, then I get real and think about what I actually wear the most (work Clothes and lounge clothes). It's just not worth it to me to spend a ton of money on fun clothes these days. I will occasionally still invest in some items, but for the most part I've started shopping much cheaper for my "fun" clothes.   We are leaving for the Bahamas on Friday (!!!!) and I needed some new stuff. Here's some of what I have picked up that I'm digging:

Forever 21.  So cute with white jeans. 
Target 
Target 
Target 
Target bathing suit cover up 
I did splurge on a lily top (but it was on sale!)

I got two super cute bathing suits from Victoria's Secret too.  Can't find them online though. 


I'm lusting over these beauties and can definitely see getting a lot of wear out of these.  In spring and summer I'm either in flip flops on the boat, jack rogers or wedges.

Next to purchase are some new work dresses and causal dresses. I love nothing more than a good, casual dress in the summer.

Happy Tuesday!

    I have so much in common with you! Just found your blog! My name is Caroline (Eliz is my middle name...), too, and we have twin boys as well, but guess what? We have two sets of twins! I am 35 year old momma and our twins are 13 yrs (honeymoon babies...born ON our 9 month anniversary!!!) and the other twins are 12yrs2.5mos They are exactly 9.5 MONTHS apart! Talk about surprised..if I am being honest, we got home from the hospital, started breastfeeding, and birth control NEVER even was considered! I have to say we love have two sets of BOY twins so, so close in age. So, after all of this at the "ripe old age" of 35, we have 7 kiddos and one due at the beginning of June! After the twins, we have 3 more boys ages 10, 9, and 7.5! The house is crazy for sure! We thought we were done...7 boys was kind of our limit, but this past year we found out we were expecting a baby GIRL!!! Can you believe it??? We are so excited! A lot of people ask if it was planned...yes and no....I mean with 7 boys our birth control was not always on the front burner even though my doctor advised us to buy condoms in bulk. Obviously that did not happen...

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...
