  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outer Banks** Part II {5.3.2023}

    Happy Happy Wednesday Friends!! Today I’m sharing the second part of our Spring Break vacation. I’m finally getting to it. šŸ˜‰ Settle in because I’m planning to finish it all in this post.  If you missed Part I, check it out here.  Monday morning we were awake to chilly but sunny weather. This day we had plans to go north up the coast to Corolla to see the wild horses.  We left about 11 to head that way. We stopped by a few shops in the cute little town of Duck, NC, on the way up.  We used Corolla Jeep Tours, and we were very pleased with everything. We had…

  • **Spring Break Recap ~ The Outerbanks** Part I {4.19.2023}

    A couple weeks back was our Spring Break, and we decided to go somewhere different. We chose the Outerbanks because none of us had been there. None of us anticipated the distance to this location. Haha!  We started our journey on Friday, after school, about 5:00.  We made a pit stop and grabbed Addison some more snacks. LOL We ended up stopping to sleep just north of Charlotte about 11:30 that night. Our room was very nice and cozy.  The next morning, we were up bright and early, ate breakfast, then started back on the road. We were excited when we finally saw water. This was crossing the bridge, over…

  • **Hello Monday & Easter Weekend!** {4.10.2023}

    Well, our Spring Break week flew by as usual. And now we are on the countdown to Summer break! šŸ˜‰  Like the usual, Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. Addison and I got home late Thursday night, we unpacked and were in bed pretty early. We were exhausted! I will share our trip recap on another post.  Friday morning, we were up early. Joey was off work for Good Friday, and Michael came over to help get started on the outdoor patio. They made a lot of great progress!  My Dad came over to help supervise and hand them a board or…

  • **Disney Vacation Days 4 & 5** {3.22.2023}

    Hi guys! How is your week going? Today, Iā€™m sharing days 4 & 5 of our Disney vacation. We were at Epcot and then had an off day.   Check the recap of days 1 & 2  here.  Read all about day 3 at MK here.  Joey was slowly feeling a little better. He didn’t get up as early to go to Epcot as we did. But, he planned to meet up with us a little later. We started off early at the bus pick up.  Addison & I arrived at Epcot and snapped a few pictures before Penny, Cindy, and Adalynn met up with us. Epcot is a favorite park. I…

  • **Disney Vacation~ Day 3~ MK** {3.8.2023}

    Hi guys! How is your week going? Today, I’m sharing day 3 of our Disney vacation. We were at Magic Kingdom, on this day.  If you missed my first two days, check the recaps out here.  Addison and I were still going solo. Joey was still sick. So, Addison and I headed out Tuesday morning to meet up with the rest of the family at Magic Kingdom.  We were there before everyone else. So, we took advantage of the time and went on in the park.  We snagged some pictures with the Memory Maker photographer.  Etsy Disney Squad Shirts / Quay Sunglasses After pictures, we headed straight to get in line…

  • **Disney Vacation~ Days 1 & 2** {3.1.2023}

    Well Hello March. I can’t believe you’re here already.  Last week, we were out of school for our Winter Break.  On Friday, February 17th, we left about 8:00 at night to drive halfway to Orlando, Florida.  We were traveling with our fifth wheel camper and were staying at Disney’s Fort Wilderness Resort.  Our plans were shifted a little bit. I was not feeling very well and had a slight fever with chills and aches. I just kept taking Ibuprofen hoping it would go away. And, about 1:30 in the morning, one of our camper tires blew out. So, that wasn’t fun “helping” Joey change our tire on the side of…

  • **Weekend Getaway Recap** {1.18.2023}

    Hey guys!! Happy Wednesday! Because of the 3 day weekend, I am sharing everything that we did last weekend. We started with a birthday party, a little getaway, a lot of laughs, and a great time with family!  Friday, after school, we had one of Addison’s classmates birthday party’s at Chuck E. Cheese. Oh the kids all just love this place! Happy Birthday, Henry!!  She started with some games.  Then it was pizza and cake time! Plus some singing and dancing fun!  All I can say is that Chuck E. is a lot different from when I was growing up. There used to be a stage and all the characters…

  • **Hello Monday** {11.21.2022}

    Hello Monday of Thanksgiving break!! We are ready to relax and recharge! We had a great girl’s getaway weekend and also sprinkled in one family Thanksgiving get together.  Iā€™m linking up with Holly and Sarah for Hello Monday and sharing a recap of our weekend. I had to share these pictures. I walked into one of my besties classroom to check in on her, and her students were doing the coolest thing… turkey races!!! How flippin’ fun is this! The kiddos were loving it and having a blast! Mrs. Diamond, you make learning so fun! šŸ˜‰  Every year, this weekend, Britney, Caroline, Katy, and I try to plan a girl’s getaway. Two years ago,…

  • **Saint Lucia Vacay Recap Part II** {10.20.2022}

    Hey guys! I’m coming to you on a Thursday! This is not usual for me! Ha!  I wanted to go ahead and get my vacation recap done though, so I’m pushing through. If you missed my Part I, check it out here!  We got up Tuesday morning and headed to Pigeon Island National Park to hike. The great thing about it, it was right next door to the resort, so we could easily get there by just walking. We felt safe, and we only had to pay $10 to enter.  There was a lot of history here. It was mostly shady, which was nice, until you started climbing up. Then…

  • **Saint Lucia Vacay Recap Part I** {10.19.2022}

    Today is finally the day I am going to share our vacation with you. It’s been a crazy few weeks since our trip. I always love traveling and especially places I’ve never been!  We started planning this trip about a year ago, and we used a travel agent. We went to celebrate our 10 year anniversary.  We were up early Saturday morning and heading to the airport. Thankfully, we only live about an hour away from the Atlanta airport, so we were able to get a direct flight to Saint Lucia. Most people have to come to Atlanta or go through Miami.  Here we are all excited and ready to…
