Skiff Update

Skiff has been a great deal of places and done lots of things this week! Baseball, golf cart ride, met Hilary, Micki, Brittany, Jillian, Bella, Coach Joe, Ms. Alicia, neighbors and more. He's learned about all of our household activities - kids playing all over our house, grilling, riding to tennis and school drop off, all of the things. He has played basketball, tennis and football. ​

He knows his name and knows, "here!"

He also know that after he goes out to go potty, he comes back in and gets a goodie. He's pretty with it! 

Night one - didn't sleep

Night two - got a smaller crate and move him to a bedroom large closet - slept but whined at 12:30a. Didnt get him but I woke up at 2:50a and took him out. Never went back to sleep. 

Night three - up once at 3am

Night four - stay tuned

Daddy Daughter Dance

​The last daddy daughter dance is in the books. She only tried 100 dresses and 5 pairs of shoes on for the occasion! Ended up with a cute dress from Belk and shoes she already had!

Drew, Kevin and the girls went to the club for dinner then over to the school for the big event - luau! Over the years they've opened it up to anyone to go and that kind of makes me sad - please don't hate me. It has always been daddy daughter and now boys go. They used to do a laser tag event for them. Listen, I can't complain since I don't volunteer for that stuff but ya know! The old tradition is gone and ugh! All good though!


Grady wanted to be in a pic!

Love!



Molly Anne had the best time! 

Thursday Looks

I have a little of everything today for you!

ONE - these are the best "dressy" pants I've found. I wear them to work and wash/dry them. They have a thick waist band so flattering too. 30% off. ​

TWO - a good basic tee for your closet 


THREE - I've mentioned these tanks before but in case you're looking for a new workout or hang out tank, try it!


FOUR - if I had this toiletry bag I know a 10 year old girl who would try to take it!


FIVE - always loving the flowy dresses

Meet Skiff

Meet Skiff! We picked him up a couple of hours away yesterday at WestBen Goldens, where we got Mills. Last weekend we picked him out and that was our special adventure. Today he is 8 weeks old! He was born on January 19th! ​

Honestly it has been so special. I'll have to tell yall the whole story soon! It has also brought up so many missing Mills memories! Ahhhh!! 

We had been wanting to get another golden for a bit but didn't want to rush it. Definitely not a Mills replacement, instead a pup for the kids to grow up with that they got to be a part of since before he was born! 

We are going to soak up every moment and love him so much!

Spring is Here

​I say spring is here but next week it's going from 80 to 40 degrees! We have gotten a taste of warm weather in Charlotte and it's been glorious! 

ONE - this look is perfecto  


TWO - saw this top in person and love 

THREE - I'm the worst at wanting to try new shoes because they all hurt my feet and I just stick to what I've always worn. These have memory foam and are $40 so maybe I'll try?!

FOUR - this skirt with any white top is so good 


FIVE - I ordered Molly Anne a couple of dresses by the same designer as this one! Super cute

Mills Shadowboxes

We made shadowboxes last week to remember our Mills. We miss him so much. The kiddos will hang each of these in their rooms. xo ​

We do have some puppy news to share soon. It's weird because it is really making me miss Mills even more. But Molly Anne and Grady deserve a puppy to grow up with and we have a big void in our home without Mills.  

Chat soon friends.
