Friday Highfive

Here is a highfive for making it through a HOT week.
TGIF!
--
{1}
This week was Gullah Storytelling, EB was riveted!
 --
{2}
Another park perk: the splash pad!  Our girl has more bathing suits than I do!
-- 
{3}
We are having a Fourth of July cookout this weekend and I picked up these deli baskets and checkered wax paper at the Dollar Tree for a festive touch...not to mention easy clean-up!

A cousin selfie!  EB was not holding the phone, rather trying to grab it from Daddy.

I snapped this at the pool this morning.  I'm loving the security of her new pool tube.

Have a great weekend!

VBS 2018

What a fun-filled, BUSY VBS week we had.
EB enjoyed hanging with the big kids while mommy taught music class.
Here are a few pics I took:




The week ended with our performance at church on Sunday.
The show starts at 5:45 on this video.
I can't wait to see my girl on stage in years to come!

Friday Highfive

Happy Father's Day Friday!
Here is a highfive for making it through the week.

I snapped this pic at Belk the other day.  I loved the bamboo centerpiece.
I figured I would recreate with a much more zen approach:

{2}
Last week EB attended her first Spoleto event.  Bright Star Theatre performed so many fun songs and EB was thoroughly entertained:
--

I ordered this float on Amazon to give the baby a bit more freedom in the pool.  She's only gotten to try it once (summer storms, ugh) but I think it will be great. 
 --

SO SAD!  I ordered EB this backpack from PB Kids for a complete steal during their clearance a while back, only to get an email this week saying "Sorry, out of stock".  :(
 She starts a preschool program 3 days a week this Fall.

Don't judge my weak selfie game, but how about these new glasses??
I think they tow the line between "ridiculously fun" and "just plain ridic" but they will make me feel fab on certain occasions, I'm sure.  When I asked a fellow shopper at TJs what she thought she said "Well, they're a little crazy but if you don't buy them someone else will".  
SOLD for $7.99!

Y'all have a great weekend!

Champney's Blueberry Farm

We spent yesterday morning up at Champney's Blueberry Farm in Ravenel.  We had a great time and harvested about two lbs before EB was over it!


 
Now, what should I make???

House Tour: Master Suite

 Continuing along on my House Tour series, here are some snaps from our Master Suite!  This room is a great size, with two closets and a small full bath.  It shares a wall with the nursery, which was especially nice when EB was a newborn.  It is K and I's sanctuary and it feels cozy and personal.  I'll let y'all have a look!
--
This is the view from the door.  The rocking chair was my grandparent's and it's one of my favorite pieces of furniture.  
 On our dresser we have a framed print from our St. Bart's trip:
Inside this small closet is my lingerie chest and full length mirror.  You can see the caricature we had done by the artist at our wedding:
I've hung one of my bridal portraits and our rehearsal dinner "guest book" in the hallway leading to the bathroom (door on the left) and walk-in closet (door on the right):
Our itty bitty master bath:  
 
I will spare you photos of our disorganized closet ;)

Our Weekend

Even though there has been a threat of rain everyday the past few weeks, we were able to make it to the beach for an overcast morning on Thursday:
 Usually, if EB and I spend the morning outside, I try for an indoor activity after nap.  Can't you tell how much she loves the library?
 --
Friday afternoon we played in the backyard:
EB had spaghettios for dinner and a popsicle on the the porch!
 --
On Saturday we met our friends at Tanger for a little playdate.  
Later we celebrated our friend Sadie's First Birthday!

That night, K grilled cedar plank salmon. I roasted some okra and made a quinoa side dish (which did not photograph well but was pretty tasty!):
 We watched Top Gun after dinner which was my first time seeing it.
--
On Sunday we had a cookout with family.
Look at this little man!!
EB loves her baby cuz:
--
That's a wrap!
Hope y'all had a great one.
