Birthday weekend

Welp, I finally joined the rest of my besties in entering my mid thirties- ugh. Am I thankful for being alive, healthy, and happy? YES! But, that doesn’t make growing older that much easier. I can just feel time flying by me and there’s nothing I can do to stop it- and I hate that. Do I feel 35? No! Not that i really know what that means- I 100% agree that age is just a number- but let’s face it- the older you get, the higher your chances of cancer, sickness. Etc- and that terrifies me.  Regardless, we had an amazing weekend celebrating my birthday and a whole lot of other fun. 

My girl had two of her dance besties spend the night Friday- they had a bday party to go to. While they were at the party- Mikey and I took the boys out to dinner. 

Saturday morning came bright and early as I had to get all the kiddos up and have the girls at a parade by 8:15. They danced in the okra strut parade this year- their first year to dance and not ride on a float- they loved it but were def hot and tired after!  We spent the rest of the day hanging out at the house, swimming, and chillin’ out- Collins enjoyed a big sis/little sis party at dance during the afternoon. 

On Saturday night- the kids headed to a friend’s house with a sitter and we had people over to watch the Carolina game (wish we hadn’t even cared) and celebrate my birthday- it was lots of fun:) 

I spent Sunday doing typical 35 year old mom things- haha, well at least part of the day. We enjoyed a boat ride to lunch and it was a gorgeous day!! I went to a baby shower for a friend and we had a parent meeting at the dance studio- I came home for dinner and Mikey had cooked one of my fav meals and he and the kids made brownies for bday dessert! 

It was busy, but fun weekend- cheers to 35 and another year of being able to do life with all the people I love.

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...
