We finally managed to tear ourselves away from the cool, clear water of the Cabana pool to spend a day with our toes in the Gulf. The littlest ones loved digging in the sand and playing in the surf while John spent hours on end with the skim board.
When the first thunderstorm of the week started to roll in, we ran back to the house, changed clothes and then headed back out for divine renditions of real New Orleans Sno Balls. The gals and Sister’s Mister enjoyed the storm from the porch, the little ones played trains, the PCP and his Daddy headed upstairs to geek on their computers and Daddy-O snuck a nap.
When the rain caused the evening’s Kid’s Block Party to be cancelled, we heated up delish casseroles from Cowgirl Kitchen and then sent the men out for our regular banana split night-cap from Sugar Shak – mine with peanut butter cup ice cream, pretty please!
And that wraps up another day at the beach!

Rosemary Beach: Hanging in Rosemary
Nothing says beach vacation like Daddy-O’s boiled (pronounced “baaald” around these parts) peanuts. The rest of us had leftover birthday cake. Why not?!?! And after stuffing our gullets, we spent the day at the Cabana pool. It’s our favorite with little ones! We spent the afternoon shopping around Rosemary. We were excited to find… Read More
Rosemary Beach: Arrival
We arrived in Rosemary Beach just after lunch and couldn’t wait to get settled in the house! Rosemary is the glorious slice of Heaven on Florida’s Gulf Coast where our family heads each year to relax, unwind and soak up the sun. The sparkling pools are divine, the white sand and blue ocean is like… Read More
Shell Centerpiece {Porch Projects}
To wrap up my week long porch projects palooza, I’m back with the details on my shell centerpiece. Sister lucked out with two of these giant hand painted plaster clam shells and was a complete doll to give one to little old me!! I’ve been sitting on it for a couple of months, along with… Read More
Cleat and Rope Picture Hanging {Porch Projects}
This cleat and rope picture hanger is one of my favorite accents on the porch! I love the coastal feel it imparts on the space. We hung Pottery Barn’s reclaimed pine flag picture for the Fourth, but it will soon be home of an Angie Reuter fish painting!! I purchased the rope and cleats at… Read More
