Until Next Year

August 3, 2013July 28, 2015

We’ve loaded up the car and are making one last stop by Cowgirl Kitchen for breakfast before hitting the road home.  Our ninth visit to the little slice of heaven called Rosemary Beach was just as relaxing, fun and memorable as our first six years ago. It is my hearts desire that we will be… Read More

Back to the Beach

August 3, 2013July 28, 2015

We spent our last full day with our toes in the sand soaking up the sun at the beach.  The boys played football, rode the gentle waves on their boogie boards and had numerous pirate battles in their sand castle forts.    My drink spikers from HKL Designs have gotten quite a workout this week… Read More

The Last Couple of Days

August 2, 2013July 28, 2015

Outside of the show house we spent the last couple of days riding the waves …   Building sand castles…   Playing categories at the pool… (did anyone else play that as a kid?!) Tie dying with Mimi… Visiting the Sugar Shak…   Gaming… Throwing the football… Hanging with cousins… Biking and scootering… Being a… Read More

Rosemary Beach Show House

August 1, 2013July 28, 2015

If you recall, last year we had the pleasure of touring the Coastal Living Ultimate Beach House while vacationing at Rosemary Beach.  Well, this year Sister found another show house tucked back on one of the quieter streets of Rosemary.  And while the exterior landscaping wasn’t quite finished, the inside sure was.  We loved the… Read More

Sailing the Sea Dragon

July 31, 2013July 28, 2015

Two summers ago we headed over to Panama City for a swashbuckling adventure on the Sea Dragon pirate ship and, since we were all still talking about it, we decided to give it another go!  We arrived at the marina about an hour before our six o’clock sunset cruise and enjoyed kicking around the dock… Read More

Rain, Rain

July 29, 2013July 28, 2015

First things first, I am super excited to have our garage makeover featured on the Barn Light Electric blog today! Now, back to vacay…  when the littles tired of playing inside on this rainy morning, we headed out to La Cocina for a delish Mexican feast. And by the late afternoon the sun came out… Read More

The First Full Day

July 29, 2013July 28, 2015

Daddy-O was a dear to run out at the crack of dawn and procure a box of goodies from our favorite beach breakfast eatery – Charlie’s Donut Truck!  It’s only open until they sell out and there will be a line as early as seven in the morning some days. And then we immediately it… Read More

I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl I was and avid reader and dreamer as a little girl, and opening this felt like discovering a treasure chest. Honestly, it radiated just as much happiness and joy at 50. ❤️

My friend Katie recently launched @itsyourstorygifts, creating reading gift sets centered around a surprise chapter book and absolutely stuffed with bookish goodies. She sent me one of her Signature Book Boxes to experience for myself, and as you can see… it just kept going.

Everything was prepared with so much care and thought. I immediately pictured the child who would absolutely light up opening one of these, whether it arrived for a birthday, to celebrate something special, during a hard season or simply to say, “I’m thinking of you.”

I’m sharing much more about Katie, her new business and what’s inside the box on the blog today.

And stay tuned. We have something fun coming later this week!

Mahjong, but make it cards. @playhootenanny gifte Mahjong, but make it cards.

@playhootenanny gifted me their Mahjong Playing Cards, and Honey and I took them along on our recent weekend away. They’re beautiful, easy to pack and such a fun way to play when traveling with an entire mahjong setup isn’t exactly practical.

We picked it up surprisingly quickly, and these have officially earned a spot in my travel bag.

I shared more on the blog today, including a link to the set on Amazon!

This trip was never really about New York. It was This trip was never really about New York.

It was about watching two incredible kids chase big dreams, cheering them on from the front row, and soaking up every minute together.

The city was amazing… but these memories mean even more. 🤍🗽

To JB and Cee: we couldn’t be more proud. Enjoy summer in the city!
