  • **Summer Bucket List Recap** {8.16.2023}

    Today, I’m sharing little snippets throughout our summer of things we did off the Bucket List. We checked off everything except bowling.  A couple different things checked off more than one item.  Like the first one~ Go to the Beach.  We went to the beach twice this summer. Once in June to Myrtle Beach, SC, and once in July to Destin, Florida. Also, on the trip, we were able to check off build a sand castle, ride bikes, and go camping!  We started off the first week of Summer, heading to the Aquatic Center & Splash Pad with friends.  Then, in July, we all headed to visit Lake Winnie Amusement…

  • **Destin Vacation 2023** {7.26.2023}

    Side note: So, since starting back to school/work this week, I obviously have lost track of the dates. I will plan to share my What’s up Wednesday post next week. So, be sure to come back here then for that. 😉  Today, I’m doing a recap of our most recent vacation. I’ll warn you, today’s post is long because I’m trying to do it all in one post. So, settle in and grab an iced coffee.  We went to Miramar Beach, Florida which is just a couple miles from Destin, if you’re familiar.  We left fairly early on a Wednesday morning headed south. If you’re familiar with Atlanta traffic, you…

  • **Friday Favorites** {7.21.2023}

    Hello Friends!! I come to you today with my last Friday Favorites of the Summer break. Starting Monday, I’m back at school. We have had a wonderful summer filled with lots of memories. I am sad to be going back, but it will be good to see everyone and get back into a routine. When do your kids go back to school?  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week.

  • **Let’s Look At… New Favorite Summer Finds** {7.12.2023}

    Happy Wednesday!! This week has already about worn me out between Amazon Prime Days and Nordstrom Anniversary Sale! It’s all keeping me up late and spending way too much money! Haha! 😉  On the second Wednesday of every month, I link up with Shay from MixandMatchMama and Erika from ALittleBitofEverything. Today we are talking about my favorite Summer finds!!

  • **Myrtle Beach Vacation 2023** {7.5.2023}

    Hey Hey Friends!! It’s already Wednesday!! I can’t believe July 4th is already over. As a teacher, once the 4th of July is past, I feel like our summer is over! 🙁  But today, I’m sharing a recap of our vacation in June.  We have camped at the same place, Myrtle Beach Travel Park, since I was about 2 years old. Growing up, we went every year and met lots of other families every summer at the same time. It was great growing up together!  So, since my parents still continue to go, we try to go with them at least one week. We left June 18th and headed that…

  • **Friday Favorites** {6.30.2023}

    Hello Friday!! What a fun week we have had!  Today, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. We started off our Monday meeting Joey’s Mom and sisters for lunch. I had a dentist appointment. Cindy took the girls to the park while I went to my appointment. That was short lived because they got hot. Haha!  Adalynn ended up staying with us and going to the grocery store for a little bit while Cindy did some errands. The girls loved this time together!  Tuesday, I had an early morning hair appointment, and it was glorious!  After my hair appointment, I met Mom and Addison…

  • **Summer Reading List** {6.7.2023}

    Ahhhh… it is summer time, and my favorite time to read. And my favorite type of books to read. Give me a chair on the beach with a book, and I can be content for hours.  Today, I’m sharing some books I plan to read this summer in hopes to give you some inspiration. Most of these are by favorite authors and tried and true. So, fingers crossed, they don’t let me down with their newest reads.  I’m currently reading this one, “Things We Never Got Over” by Lucy Score. I just started it. It’s a thick book, but I feel like I’m reading it fairly quickly. This one is…

However, I want it to go sloooooooow!  Like the norm, I’m linking up with the blogs AlittlebitofEverything and Momfessionals and sharing my favorite things from the week. Last Saturday night, Addison and Joey were being silly as usual.  Sunday morning, we were up early and off to Church. I just got this By the Sea Knit Cardigan, and I love it!! It’s so soft and versatile. It will be great to throw over shorts or even wear as a coverup.  After Church, we decided to go exploring. We…

  • **Summer Essentials** {5.17.2023}

    Y’all, summer is almost here, and I couldn’t be more excited!!! Bring on later mornings, days by the pool, and backyard barbecues with friends. This girl is READY! Today, I’m sharing my Summer Essentials!  Sunscreen is a vital essential this time of year. This is the kind I use on Addison, and it’s our go-to.  Sunscreen Spray / Sunscreen Lotion These sponges are a lifesaver for applying sunscreen around the face.  These Solar Buddies are awesome to have on hand for applying sunscreen all over kids bodies. They can even, easily, use it themselves. #lifesaver This Glow Screen is the best!! If you’re not using it, you should be! It’s great and so…
