Grady's 8th Birthday

​Grady's actual birthday was Saturday. We also had a field hockey game, piano recital and a baseball game! His big birthday highlight was THE BAT that my parents gave him! It was all he wanted! He got to play with it in his game that afternoon and had some good hits! We celebrated with dinner that night with one of his buddies at Porters House!

We were in charge of snack on his birthday!

First up Bojangles!

Sooo happy about his gifts! He never asks for anything so it's fun to spoil him!

Field hockey then piano recital 

They all sung happy birthday to him!

The bat got a workout!

Porters house din with Beau!

It was a good day to be Grady!

Zoo

​Among two baseball games and two field hockey practices this week, Molly Anne's class had a field trip to the NC Zoo which I chaperoned. Her last field trip! It was fun but we def see more animals at the SC Zoo! Grateful to get to be with her and the flexibility at my office to make it happen! 

On The Hunt

​I am on the hunt for a work dress for a conference and a couple evening dresses for Vegas that are still professional but fun. And shoes for a wedding! Here is what popped into my head!

ONE - love this dress and it looks long enough for a 43 year old!

TWO - a classic but I won't want to sweat through blue so tbd

THREE - not sure how flattering this smocking at the waist on this dress will be but going to try bc Spanx! 

FOUR - no heels for me any more at least not for hours on end!

FIVE - this one is so good. 

Grady's Party

​Grady turns 8 on Saturday so we had a little get together for him on Sunday at home. We had a video truck come and then the boys played wiffle ball. He requested hot dogs, bananas and Doritos as the meal with lots of Gatorade! Done done and done!

He picked out who he wanted invited and then we went with it. Easy peasy! 

He picked out the Publix cake! Marble inside!

For the party favor I did baseball lifestyle socks wrapped in red so it kinda looked like a baseball. 

Squishy Hunting

Last weekend it rained on Saturday so all games were canceled. We went squishy hunting and roller skating! Win!​ 

We went to 5 places to check for them! It was fun! These are the days. 

Magnolia

​Fresh flowers make me happy! For this bubble vase that I got at a shop in Charlotte (Creative by Nature), I trimmed my little gem magnolia tree! This is four stems and five bunches of leaves and it fills the space so nicely. And free!

Thursday Finds

Here are my finds this week:

ONE - these slides look so old lady but they're like walking on clouds! ​I love mine.

TWO - a great tee and the sleeves are cute

THREE - so fun $18

FOUR - jelly bedazzled?! Yes!

FIVE - yes I'm wild this week! Saw this in person and it caught my eye!

SIX - been looking for a dress to wear to a formal wedding this summer and this one may be it! Appears to be flattering and stretchy...and I'll be able to wear it again. We will see!
