Costa Rica : dos


We all slept in Thursday morning, seriously…so much sleeping in, it was fabulous!  Thursday was beach party day…we made it down around lunch and it was BEAUTIFUL.  You had to take a four wheel drive cab to go to the area of the beach where we were…steep and rocky roads will do that to you.  We all just kinda hung out with the bride and groom, laid out, swam, listened to tunes and drankJ  A perfect beach day! 

The rehearsal dinner was on Thursday night, it was held at a cute little restaurant that served authentic Costa Rican food.  All of the restaurants are open/not four walls, and it was a bit hot Thursday…but we definitely had a good time.  Lots of toasts for the bride and groom and good food!  We all headed back to the same casino/bar to hang out afterwards.

The wedding was on Friday, and we had to be ready by 3…so we decided to spend Friday morning on an excursion.  We chose snorkeling, and while the fish weren’t so plentiful…there were some pretty fish….but nothing crazy, the excursion was perfect.  We cruised around the water for two hours and it was gorgeous and felt amazing.  We were fed lunch, snorkeled, and swam.  It was a perfect, relaxing first part of the day before the BIG fun of Friday night

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
