Matt and I celebrated 9 years of marriage this year and my parents were kind enough to watch the girls so we could take a break from the daily grind that is parenting:) We were so exhausted this spring that all we wanted to do was lay on the beach and rest. We also didn’t want to venture too far (plus, we couldn’t leave the country without the girls because testing requirements to re-enter the US were still in place…
We had an awesome family beach week at Oak Island! We usually go to Bald Head, but after 2.5+ hours in a hot mask in the ferry line (low capacity due to COVID) last year, we decided to take a year off (you have to book big beach houses a year in advance so we weren’t sure what this summer would be like). We loved experiencing Oak Island, especially because my in-laws will be moving there this year! There are…
I can’t believe it’s been almost two month’s since I’ve written a post! It’s on my to-do list almost every week and here we are. I’ve been a bit overwhelmed with trying to balance school psychology work with cleaning, kids, cooking, Beautycounter, and all the things. I never thought I could been this busy while barely leaving my house:) While I’m enjoying being back in the school psychologist world and using my brain for something different, it’s also distracting me…
Happy September! We just returned from a lovely week at Folly Beach. Although the week was packed with the usual melt-downs, prepping kid meals + constant cleaning, and early morning wake-ups, we had moments of relaxation:) It was Avery’s first time really getting to play on the beach and in the water and she LOVED it. She’s not scared of much and would fearlessly crawl right into the surf. And Emerson enjoying seeing Avery experience the beach. It was also…
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…
Hello! We are back from a little paternity leave escape to Florida. We decided to go on a road trip since Matt is off this month – we picked Vero Beach because we wanted a cute, walkable beach town. Vero was just far enough south to get warm temperatures, but still within somewhat reasonable driving distance. We stopped in Savannah for two nights on the way down and literally booked a hotel room the night before we left. The drive…
Yesterday’s weather got me so excited for fall. It’s one of the best times to travel because the weather is picture perfect almost anywhere. We obviously won’t be leaveing Charlotte this fall, but these are a few places I’d love to visit in Autumn. Hilton Head Island, SC I mentioned in my trip recap that we’d love to go back to Hilton Head when the temperatures are cooler and the crowds have died down. The beaches are giant and…
We are back from Hilton Head and I’m ready for a productive week at home. Emerson had her first day of camp today, and although she was very nervous at drop-off, she was squealing with excitement when I picked her up. After two weeks of back to back travel, I was so thankful for some time at home to get my life together. I’m also looking forward to some healthy eating, as there’s not much room in my stomach these…
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…
