Mother's Day weekend in the low country

We wrapped up a wonderful Mother’s Day weekend in the low country fairly late Sunday night, but you won’t find me complaining. We had not been to our house in Beaufort, which we affectionately call village creek (or if you hear G and T say… village cweek:-). )since NOVEMBER. That’s probably the longest I’ve ever gone between visits and I was dying to get back down there. House renovations kept us away as we wanted to get mostly finished with house stuff before summer, so we finally were able to head to the coast this past weekend.

My whole immediate family went and we had the best time. Equal parts fun/busy and rest/relaxation. Admittedly, the YUCKY weather almost ALL day Saturday forced a lot of the rest/relaxation…but sometimes, days like that are good for me. If I would have been home I would have felt like I needed to accomplish something, but being away gives you the ability to truly relax. It was great…the kids got a little stir crazy before it finally cleared up around 5 and we took them fishing on the dock and out for a short boat ride. We celebrated Mother’s Day and my SIL’s birthday Saturday night which is always fun.

Thank goodness, Sunday was GORGEOUS. We headed out in the boat fairly early to spend the day on the water. We made a trip to downtown Beaufort and ate lunch at the waterfront park and let the kids play on the playground a bit. We didn’t even leave Sunday until after 6, but it was well worth it to have a full, beautiful day on the water. I certainly enjoyed spending my day in the sun with my babies and my mama, it was pretty perfect.

Happy Tuesday!

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

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

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
