Can't get ahead.

Whew....what a week!

I have been CAAARAAAZY busy at work all week after being on vacay for a bit. I feel like I can't get ahead. I had some girls over Wednesday night for some wine, and four hours later...we had been drinking vino and gabbing till 12! I was a tired little girl at work Thursday and had to work till 7. Of course, we already had plans to do something Thursday night....so we were back at it by 8 last night. GO GO GO....that has been my life lately.

I leave today after work for a weekend in Isle of Palms, SC with all the women in my family. It kind of exhausts me to think about being out of town again...but I know we will have such a good time, and it's hard to complain when you are going to spend a weekend on the beach! We are celebrating my Aunt's 60th Birthday with a girl trip. They want to go to all the places that Dorothea Benton Frank writes about in her books...we will be heading to Poe's, Atlanticville, Dunleavey's, Station 22, and Off the Hook for sure! I love all these places, we will be eatin' good that's for sure!

Know what else I can't get ahead on.......freakin saving money! It is so frustrating...I think I am doing sooo good and going to actually be able to save/pay off some stuff and then BAM, I need ALL new tires. Sigh.......such is life huh!?

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
