2018 road trip to Sandbridge (Virginia Beach)

I know I say this every year “I’m so ready for summer break!”, but this year, I was especially ready. So far it has not disappointed and we already have a vacation under our belt. Not a bad way to kick off summer! So, I thought I would share some highlights of our trip to Sandbridge Virginia Beach. We have been planning family trips to Sandbridge since before the kids were born! Needless to say, it’s a favorite. Since we tend to take a lot of road trips as it is; keeping our vehicle in good shape to hit the…

Keeping up with the kiddos

This post is sponsored by Famous Footwear, all thoughts and opinions are my own. With summer break right around the corner, I have been looking for some great summer shoes that will transition well in between activities. Because no two days are the same, I definitely was in search of something I could wear that would…

Pause. Take a breath. Repeat.

This blog post is sponsored by Famous Footwear. All thoughts expressed are my own. Doesn’t reading that title make you feel just a little more at ease? If it does, you might be a “full plat-er” like me. Yeah, that’s a new term I just coined for people that are extreme over achievers and have…

Woom. Woom.

Parenting confession: I’m running low on ideas of how to keep the kiddos entertained this summer. As much as I love a good day at the beach or hanging poolside until we’re crispy, its no walk in the park. Toting all that junk stuff around in 100 degree weather gets pretty old, very quickly. It’s just not…

The Magic of a Tulle Skirt

Ladies, can we agree that wearing a tulle skirt makes you feel like a princess? If you’re being honest with your inner child, you know it does… and you may even be caught twirling in it a time or two. HA!  I used to think there was never the right event or moment I would…

In these shoes

  they say ‘you never truly know a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes’. well, if our shoes could talk, they would tell some adventurous stories for sure. spending one on one time with each of my kiddos is hard to come by. real life happens, and we don’t always get to share those special dates with each other. you know the ones; no interruptions, no screaming tantrums in the background, and no dog barking…just REAL great one on one time. today Phoenix and I made the most of it, tried to create a special space to get that time, to catch up…and…

Why, hey there spring!

I can’t even begin to explain how long we’ve been dreaming of spring! More than the usual amount, given the winter blues. This week has been gorgeous, just gorgeous. We had to make it outside and explore our favorite gardens. You know when seasons are flirting with the idea of merging together and you’re just not sure if to layer up or down? Today was totally like that. Parts of the day were so chilly, and other moments of it felt like a summer afternoon. When dressing the kids, I’m always looking for an easy (and comfortable) outfit that I…
