the Friday five

1.   Dress obsessed.  I LOVE the fit of this dress. It has become my go to summer dress.  It’s comfy, I think it can be dressed up or down and it is flattering.  All the necessities in my book.  I now own three, I love them so much.

The Monterey tank dress:



 

2.     Date night.  Our house is a disaster.  Like, woah.  My parents (who are also moving…this is the second time we’ve moved at the same time as them) are living with us for two weeks.  Their move sucks b/c there rental isn’t ready quite yet but they close on their house today…so they are homeless for two weeks.  So my parents have had to lug half their crap to our house (amongst all our many boxes and chaos) only to lug it out again in two weeks into their rental.  So yeah…my house is total chaos right now. We have LOTS of packing to do…three weeks out from closing.  BUT, we are saying the HELL with it, tonight.  Mikey and I are treating ourselves to a fancy date night…can’t wait. 

 

3.     We are counting down the days until our week long beach vacation.  One of my favorite weeks of the year.  Although it isn’t quite a “vacation” when you take three young children…spending a full week with my babies and husband is exactly what a vacation is to me these days.  We will have no plans, no schedules, no work.  We will hopefully have long days, lazy nights, and fun memories. 

 

 

4.     My boys had their first ever “camp/preschool” experience this week with church camp.  MELT my heart.  There were tears EVERY morning at drop off…BUT, good reports at the end of the day!  It is a big transition for them as they have been going to Weezie’s (the lady who keeps my kids in her home) for the past two years and that is all they’ve ever known.  They are going to start going to 2 year old preschool in the fall two days a week so I thought this would be a good little warm up for them.  My precious stinkers, love them so.

  


5.     House dreaming.  We are still in the due diligence/inspection phase of this house process and nothing is final yet as the house has a LOT of issues, including asbestos.  So, that could be a deal breaker b/c it’s expensive to have abated BUT that doesn’t stop me from dreaming.  This is where my head is at for inspiration for our next house….



Happy weekend!! Off to enjoy date night, snuggling and playing with my babes, some lake time and lots of packing!!

Cheers!

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...
