Escape to BHI

Travel Weekends

Edited to add: If it was unclear at any point, my family and I are taking COVID very seriously, strictly following the four major preventative measures of good hygiene (e.g., thorough and regular hand washing), maintaining physical distancing,  wearing masks in public when in situations where physical distancing could be compromised, and staying in our house.  We have taken every precaution possible when receiving deliveries, and we are extremely careful when handling any sort of take-out. For these reasons, and…

Bald Head Bliss

Travel

We are having a blast on our annual Bald Head beach week.  Emerson is at a great age for playing in the surf and digging in the sand, so it’s been very relaxing compared to the previous two years! She was SOOOO excited when we arrived at the ferry because she finally understood where we were going. We’ve been spending our mornings on the beach, and nap time either on the porch or out and about on the island if…

Thoughts from a Thursday

Life Pregnancy Ramblings Thursday Thoughts

-After returning three backpack diaper bags (Skip Hop, Land – aka a million fake versions of this “brand”, and Mina Baie), I ordered the Freshly Picked bag in Birch and think it’s the one!.  It’s very similar in size to my Hershel, but looks a little nicer for my daily bag and has more pockets, including exterior water bottle pockets which were a must! Also, you can use the 20% off coupon at Buy Buy Baby which made the price…

Back from Old Baldy

Travel

Well that was the fastest beach trip I can ever remember.  As much as I love going on vacation, I also love returning to my own home and routines. I got so much rest on our trip to Bald Head (slept 8-9 hours and only worked out twice), so I’m feeling restored and ready to mom full-time again. Emerson has also gifted me with long naps and sleeping in until almost 8 since we’ve been home! With the exception of…

5 US Vacation Ideas for Summer

Travel

It’s no secret that I’m travel obsessed. A lot of the fun for me is the planning process.  It’s so fun, in fact, that I sometimes research and plan trips that I never actually take.  I thought I’d share some of these ideas with you guys, in case anyone is looking for inspiration for summer (also, just thinking about warmer weather helps me get through winter!) Lake Tahoe I’ve always wanted to go to Lake Tahoe because of the combination…

Memory Lane

Life Wedding

A little entertainment for your Wednesday morning… Jason Andre of Seven Season Films put together a GORGEOUS video of our wedding on Bald Head Island! We had debated hiring a videographer, and I can’t tell you how glad I am that we did. Jason was easy to work with and professional and the final product was worth every penny. It is fun to see the ceremony from our guests’ perspective and I’m thrilled to be able to relive that perfect…

Wedding Memories

Life Wedding

The wedding feels so long ago. Even though I’ve already blogged about it and shared pictures, all of the snaps were from Kath’s DSLR. The pictures from our photographer, Theo Milo, were ready once I got back from the honeymoon and they are fabulous!!!! But I had to wait for the disk to make its way to Texas before I could share them. I love them so much and am thrilled with how they turned out. Theo was super easy…

The Wedding!

Life Wedding

Hi Friends, Although I don’t have any official pictures back from our photographer yet, I wanted to do a more detailed recap of the wedding day. My sister was able to capture some of the day with her awesome camera, so she shared all of these photos with me! June 1st started around 8am for me. Despite being woken up by a strange garage door around 6, I had a wonderful night’s sleep. I went for a jog by myself…

The Rehearsal

Wedding

The Friday before the wedding was another beautiful day! Almost everyone went to the beach, and I continued to be overwhelmed by how many familiar faces were in one place! I hid out under an umbrella to make sure I didn’t get much sun before the big day. Around 5, we headed to the adorable chapel to rehearse the ceremony. Is it bad luck to walk down the aisle? I hope not! Everything went smoothly so we had to kill…
