Family Beach Trip 2016

August 23, 2016

Last week we took our family of four (and a half) to Destin, Florida with some of our best friends and their little girl! It was so bittersweet taking one last family beach trip as a family of four. With me being 28 (almost 29) weeks pregnant, I doubt we will be doing a lot more traveling this year. We had so much fun, but I will say, when beaching it with kids, it is definitely more of a trip than a vacation. Camp decided he didn’t like the sand and water this year, while Sophie wouldn’t quit eating the sand. So, you know. Early naps and lots of snacks got us through the days.

Zoo Day and Sunshine

July 25, 2016

This weekend was a lot of fun. We finally bought a zoo membership (something I’ve been meaning to do for a looooong time) and had a zoo day with friends. The kids loved it and I think it will be fun to take them a lot more often now that we have our annual membership. We also got to go on a date night! We are starting to get a little bit better about having those, and I don’t hate it one bit. It was so much fun. We went to our favorite restaurant and then to Target! How do we always end up there?

Date Night Weekend

Lake Day

July 11, 2016

Happy Monday, dolls! I hope you had a fantastic weekend! We had a great time at the lake with Ryan’s family on Saturday and spent the day yesterday recouping and recharging for the week. Meaning, we were super lazy. Lake days are so much fun and absolutely wear us out which is great because for our family, that means excellent naps. Thumbs up! Our lake day began at breakfast and we stayed for a while after dinner and it was perfect. Honestly, I think my favorite memory from the day was being caught on the boat in the rain a pretty god ways from the house. It was pelting us and we were all laughing so hard trying to get back. Our poor Pop Pop couldn’t hardly see through the ran so we paused under the bridge for a couple of minutes and then went the rest of the way. It was hilarious and we were soaked. Towels and all.

Sun is Shining, Weather is Sweet

June 13, 2016

I am a huge fan of the fall, but there is just something about summer that makes me always want to smile. Maybe it’s the beautiful weather, maybe it’s the travel, maybe it’s the salty ocean air and sand between my toes or running through a sprinkler with my little ones, but the summer is sweet, indeed.

A Fun in the Sun Kind of Weekend

May 23, 2016

First off, thank you so much for all of your love on last week’s post! We are getting so excited to welcome baby #3 and I honestly can’t believe I am already almost 16 weeks along! I am extremely happy to have kissed that first trimester goodbye because it was a doozy this time around. I’ve loved reading all of your comments throughout the weekend and it was so encouraging and sweet! Also, thank you for the car recommendations! 😉

A Fun Family Weekend

May 17, 2016

This weekend was so much fun as we celebrated my nephew’s 4th birthday and Mother’s Day with my in-laws and had family pictures done! We went bowling for T-man’s party and it was Hampton’s first time to bowl. He loved it, but one game was plenty for him!

Family Weekend Tractor Ride

Yesterday, our “long weekend” continued. We went out to my grandparent’s house and my sister and I cooked with my grandmother while the kids played outside and went for rides on my grandfather’s tractor and their golf cart. I love cooking with my grandmother and learning her delicious recipes. She is the best cook I know and we always enjoy amazing food out at her house. We’ve already got plans to go out there again soon and make jelly! I love making these precious memories with such an amazing woman.

Friday Happies

April 22, 2016

It’s Friday! And, as if that wasn’t enough of a “happy,” we are heading to the beach today! Did I mention this is the first kid-free non-business trip we have taken since our 1st anniversary trip? Yeah, we don’t get out much. To say I am excited is an understatement. No diapers for 48 hours? Pinch me! I’ll miss my babies, but I am in need of some relaxation and it is coming at a great time! I’m looking forward to spending one on one time with my husband and coming back home feeling refreshed.

I am also very excited to announce that I am officially a Keep Collective Designer! I will be hosting my first social as a designer next Thursday, so if you want an invite, leave me a comment, message me on Facebook, email me, tweet me, whatever! I would absolutely love to have you join me! I am excited to design some beautiful jewelry for Mother’s Day (coming up May 8th, can you believe it?)! If you would like me to design something for you, let me know and I would be happy to do it! Also, I am drooling over Keep’s new summer collection! Can I just have one of each, please? That tassel charm is adorable!

We Met Thomas the Train

April 18, 2016

Last year, we took Hamp to see Thomas the Train in Calera, Alabama and he loved it! Unfortunately it ended badly and we later found out he had hand foot and mouth and we really should not have had him out in the sun that day. #parentingfail This year was a million times better because we had no sick kids and with Hampton being a year older, I felt like he enjoyed it so much more!

T.G.I.F.

April 8, 2016

This week, we have been so out of sorts. Sophie has had Hand, Foot and Mouth, so she hasn’t been sleeping and has basically been miserable. Hampton (finally) climbed out of his crib this week and fell pretty hard. It hurt him and scared him, so we decided it was time to take off the rail and flip his crib into a toddler bed. That seemed like a great idea and it was definitely time, but he has been waking up around 5 every morning and ready to play. I don’t do 5a.m. so well. I’m definitely more of a night owl, especially lately, so this has been a big adjustment.

A Relaxing Weekend

March 21, 2016

The kids and I have been a little under the weather this past weekend. We have all developed little colds that I am sure is from the weather being 80 degrees and then 45. We went from playing outside in shorts and tank tops one minute to freezing cold in sweatshirts the next. As most of you other mothers know, it is so tough to take care of sick kids while you are sick too. So, it’s been a fun few days. The positive side of it? We have definitely caught up on lots of snuggle time and watched cute little movies and shows with the babies. Of course, their attention span when it comes to T.V. is 10 minutes when we get lucky, but Hamp did make it through an entire episode of Paw Patrol.
