Going home.


I spent this past weekend at "home" with my momma. It was fabulous. Mikey had a boys golf trip planned, and mom had been begging me to come help her organize and clean her house. It was a MUCH needed weekend off for me. I love being home at my parents house...it always confirms my thoughts that I WILL LIVE ON THE LAKE ONE DAY. When? As soon as I can afford it ,damn it! I slept good, read a bit, spent some quality time soaking up rays on the dock and went to see WATER FOR ELEPHANTS! I was thoroughly impressed. Although, it isn't near as in depth as the book, it was still extremely good. And, OHMYGOD (cue my USHER concert experience last night, more to come on that later) was Robert Pattinson TO DIE FOR. I've never really been a huge "celebrity" person, and I haven't ever seen Twilight, so to be honest...I wasn't all that up to speed on this hunkahunkaburninlove. Ha! Seriously though, he is beautiful. And of course Reese is as well, but I've known that. I really did like the movie, go see it.

Osama is dead. Wow. There are parts of me that are like, "WTF! How did it take TEN years!?!" Of course, i am forever grateful for our men and women who put their life on the line EVERY day for my freedom. I can't even begin to fathom what these courageous people go through on a daily basis. And...navy seals, complete badasses. Unfortunately, there are still TONS of people who can and will lead Al-Qaeda, I pray that they do not retaliate with extreme acts of terrorism.

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
