Do you like to venture back into the archives to dig up buried blogging treasure? Man, this blog has changed and grown with me over the past seven (yes, seven years) and it’s seen it’s share of good and bad posts… with that, I wanted to share some of my favorites… no particular order, rhyme or reason, but just because it may spark an interest in some of you and brings a smile to my face to see how far we’ve come!
Food Love
The Personal Side
Life Events
Of course I’ve been known to throw a party or two… recapping so many events throughout my life on the blog has been something I’ve loved sharing with so many of you!
Letting you see a peak into our life and what makes it mine has been a blast:
Our Wedding: Bridal Portraits, Rehearsal Dinner, Ceremony, Reception: Part One & Part Two.
Caroline: Our Gender Reveal Party, The Birth of Caroline, CC’s Lucky Charm First Birthday Party, Caroline’s Oh Twodles Second Birthday Party, & Caroline’s Pancakes and Pajamas Third Birthday Party
Carson: Surprise, We’re Pregnant Again, The Birth of Carson, Carson’s Ice Cream Social First Birthday Party
Travel Times
Before we were old, married, and had kids, Jeff and I traveled quite a bit. From Napa to New York to Charleston (where we got engaged) to our honeymoon in Antigua, there was no shortage of fun trips and weekend adventures! Now, we stick to family vacations to Rosemary Beach (2014 (one, two, and three) and 2013), Seaside (one and two), and couple’s trips to Scottsdale and our upcoming Labor Day weekend getaway to Miami.
Decorate Your Space
It doesn’t happen as often as I like, but decorating is so much fun and I enjoy making a space feel like home. From our old house, you can see the master bedroom, Caroline’s nursery, and Carson’s nursery. And of course we’re a work-in-progress at the home we live in now, but have successfully completed the powder bathroom, my office, and now CC’s big girl room.
Working it Out
A little trip down memory lane… and these are always good for the soul! Thanks for all your continued love and for sticking with me friends! OXOX
Awww, I love this post! I've only been reading for about a year now and it was so fun to see a little bit from your past!!! đ
Love this little walk down memory lane! And I may or may not have just bookmarked the food posts đ
Love! One addition to parties — Jeff's hotdog party! One of my faves!
hehehe… mine too!!!
My husband and I honeymooned at Hermitage Bay the week before you all and had our son the day before Caroline. Too funny! Must have been something in the water đ
DEF something in the water… or maybe all their drinks đ can we go back please???
Loved reading the vacation posts! Do you mind if I ask how you found your Rosemary Beach condo? I'm such a stickler for nice and CLEAN places to stay and yours looked beautiful. Thanks!
Not at all… we used http://www.30aescapes.com and they were awesome to work with!!!
This is such an awesome round up. I've been reading along for about the past 12-18 months, so great to look back đ Your Enchilada recipe has become a favorite at our house! And I loved reading about your weekend in Scottsdale having just recently moved here from Australia. Lucy x
yay!!! thanks so much Lucy đ
At your recommendation we stayed near Rosemary Beach in Inlet Beach. We fell in love with the area but no so much with the stinging jelly fish! My daughter was stung twice on our April vacation. Be careful when you go back, there are many of those marine pests apparently and we had no idea. We loved the Mexican restaurant in the downtown area there…so delicious, best meal ever!
Hey girl! Love the travel post! It reminded me that me & hubs also loved to travel before our kids came along! Must write posts about our honeymoon to St Lucia & trips to New York & the South of France before baby brain takes all of my memories of them completely away! So we're off to Menorca next week, looking forward to seeing my sweet kids in their Sugar Bit bits! Will Insta & hashtag #sugarbitkid Best Lizzie XO
I am obsessed with this round up, I love reading some of your "old" but new posts to me! đ Xo, Stephanie
They catered my wedding last month and they were amazing! Don't overlook this gorgeous venue!! This vow renewal location is something you have to check out in person. My family and friends could not stop talking about how good the food was and how sweet the staff was!
