The Friday five


Happy Friday, friends!!


A quick Friday five for ya....


1.       SICKNESS has overtaken us.  UGH.  Mikey came down with some sort of AWFUL virus Sunday night…it wasn’t the flu, but the symptoms were very similar…doctor said they’ve seen a ton of it this year…it seriously had him in bed for four days!  ALL of our babies have coughs, I hate it.  Especially the boys because there is NOTHING you can give themL  We’ve been doing nebulizer treatments and cranking up the humidifier with vapor rub in it…so pitiful.  And now…I seem to be coming down with another head cold…ick!  And we leave for the mountains today…not good timing.

2.       But, speaking of the mountains…we are excited about our weekend.   We all went in and rented a mountain cabin for Mikey’s mom as her Christmas present…all her children and grandchildren will be together for one weekend. We are looking forward to a relaxing weekend away.  

3.       Our Christmas present was delivered this week and I am in LOVE.  I had to ditch the bed skirt…but that’s okay.  I also have to get a new mirror as the previous one was too big…but I am so in love with our new bed…I feel like it’s a “grown up” bed:-)



4.       Collins has made her mind up that she wants a “jewelry” party for her 4th birthday.  I really wanted to do it AWAY from the house this year…but this is all she talks about, wanting to make necklaces and bracelets with her friends.  I just ordered a cute Melissa and Doug wooden jewelry making set to use…and will probably go to Michael’s and stock up on some more stuff.  I found these invitations and thought I could roll with it….



5.       We’ve got a BUSY 2016 so far….after a couple years with NO weddings, we have three in April and May…one being Mikey’s brothers that we are in and the other being my life long best friend that Collins and I are in!  I’m SO excited..she’s going to be a flower girl in BOTH, pray that shyness goes away for good by then!

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

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

These are the days.

Goodness gracious, I LOVE summer.  I talk it to death every year, but it is especially important to me during this season of life where the school year brings homework/schedules/strict bed times/extra curricular craziness- I appreciate the LAZY days of summer EVEN MORE. I've tried to be intentional about taking a half day here and there to soak up TIME with my babies.  Because Lord knows, they aren't babies for long.  (Yes, I'm referring to my 7 and 5 year olds as babies- #cantstopwontstop ) When we returned from our anniversary trip, we got back early on a Tuesday and used the rest of the day to spend quality family time together.  We took the kids to a local water park, this was all of our first time visiting- and we had a ball!   That same week, my girl and I dressed up and attended her very first company banquet for dance, too much fun!  Lake days with friends are sooooo good for me- we've so enjoyed many of them this summer
