The Friday five

Back with a little Friday five action. 

 

1.     WORN OUT.  It’s been a whirlwind couple of weeks, the past THREE weeks Mikey has traveled for work.  Two of the weeks he was gone two nights and the other, four nights.  That makes for a  tired mama.  These were all just random events/training sessions he had to attend as his job doesn’t normally require out of town travel.  I tell ya, it sure makes me realize I NEVER want to do life without him.  He’s my person and it’s just not the same when he’s not around.


My little monkeys keeping me busy:-)




2.     BEAUFORT bound for the weekend.  We are heading to the low country after work today for some rest and relaxation.  Just kidding…who gets R&R with three little ones around?!  But, we are excited about a weekend on the boat and summer nights on the porch.


3.     I need book recommendations and nail polish color recommendations.  Anyone?  I’m not a big polish person……I try and keep my toes painted in the summer, but I’m not really one that always has a fresh pedicure….filed under things that just aren’t that important to me. But, I do want some new fun colors this summer.  I’m over my tried and trues….ideas? 


4.     I still look at the MLS for lots and houses almost daily.  It’s an obsession for me.  We can’t (tax purposes) and won’t move for at LEAST another year….but I LOVE LOVE LOVE looking at properties.  It’s a thrill for me.  I know the smartest things to do is to stay in our house at least three more years, but I can’t help but keep my eyes open for a good dealJ  And if I had all the money in the world……..some of my fav images from the interwebs



5.     My girl attended her first cheer camp this year.  She had an absolute BALL and asked if she could go back next year.  She would cheer her heart out for me at home, but of course…froze during the performance.  My little shy one, but that’s just Colls:-)

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...
