I ordered a laughable number of swimsuits online back over Easter weekend, hoping and praying that I’d find just one in the lot worth keeping. And, that wish came true with nothing more than I asked for. I kept this gold one-shoulder Michael Kors number and returned the rest to Macy’s. When I modeled it for Mother and pondered if it made me look naked given the pale state of my over-wintered skin, she assured me that the notion was ridiculous. Wellllll, truth be told, when I first pulled my cover up off at Serenbe, Honey did a visible double take that liked to have given him whiplash before exclaiming “Good God, I thought you were naked.” This is one time I’m afraid Mother led me astray. So, I’m keeping this beaut tucked away in the drawer until I get a few more days of sun under my belt.
(Find it here.) (And, yes, I look just like that in the suit. bwahahahaha) 
And just like that, I’m ready for summer! xoxo

Finding Neverland
Besties A & D hosted a positively enchanted Finding Neverland inspired soiree in celebration of their girls’ second and fourth birthdays.

With all the goings and doings to wrap up school, baseball and celebrate a three day weekend, I’ve been neglecting my porch progress updates. So, here we go… Most of the last couple of weeks were spent waiting on inspections. Boo! On the flip side, the roof is on, the skylights are in, the electrical… Read More
Oh, the Places You’ll Go
Once again Pinterest has come through with a simple, hello-why-didn’t-I-think-of-that idea. Just before the school let out, I sent the PCP in with a fresh copy of Dr. Seuss’s Oh, the Places You’ll Go for his teacher to sign. The idea is to have teachers sign it each year and then to give it to… Read More
Memorial Day
First and foremost, I want to thank all of the men and women that bravely and selflessly serve our great nation. I realize that it is not without great sacrifice that we have the rights and freedoms we enjoy as Americans. We spent our weekend at our club happy hour Friday night, at a pool… Read More
Beach Buckets
Remember this cute little “Have a ball this summer!” treats we put together a few weeks back?? Well, the PCP had his beach day just before the end of school and his goodies were too cute not to share. They wore their bathing suits to school and had a “ball” playing with squirt bottles and… Read More
