Easter Weekend

Jim and I always have so much at my parents house. We usually go to their lakehouse, but this weekend we had to stay and get ready for the Easter festivities my parents always do at their house.

We did a little shopping, mom and I got our nails done, Jim and dad worked in the yard and we cooked cooked cooked!

Sunday morning we went to the early service and then came back to wait on everyone to come.

This is my sweet mom cooking.


My 16 year old nephew (oh the days of being too cool to smile for the camera) ha!

Playing games. We did the spoon and egg race, the egg toss and the 3 legged race. So fun!

My husband watching all the games.

Perfect weekend with my family!

My week in pictures!

I ordered this book this week and I am so anxious to get it! I just love Bethenny. He style, her success, her wit and her sweet family. I could watch "Bethenny Ever After" every day of my life. I catch Jim even watching it with me...he chuckles at her comments too. We are headed to Augusta tomorrow morning for the Masters! I am actually super excited about this trip. I can't stand watching golf on tv for longer than 20 minutes but I really do love watching it in person. I'll be wearing my tank top, shorts and sunscreen for sure! The weather is supposed to be 78 and sunny. Can't wait!

Tonight we are headed to Jim's hometown (halfway to Augusta) to spend time with the fam at dinner. My favorite restaraunt of all time is in this small south Georgia town. I would literally take Ware's bbq over a 5 star restaraunt any day. Everything on the menu is great...I've never ordered anything I didn't like.

My mother in law already emailed me asking if I wanted to go there...she knows me well :)

If you know me well, you know Tibi is my all time favorite designer. Well, I got to spend some time (and money) there this weekend.

I suppose I will be explaining my purchases to the hubs on the car ride today....and tomorrow probably!

Hope everyone is enjoying their week so far!

I heard this today....

"A real woman always has a clean house, an empty laundry basket,

is well made-up, is slim, healthy, eloquent,

and is perfectly well-behaved."

I'm starting to wonder what in the world I am???? Not a real woman I suppose.... Happy Tuesday!!

New blogger in town!

My sweet friend Hayley has a new blog and I know its going to be great! She is such a cute, fun and HILARIOUS person so I can't wait to follow her blog. Go here and follow her too! Happy Monday everyone!

Seattle!

I am a little behind on putting pictures up from our Seattle trip. We really had so much fun! We ate some really delicious food the entire time, we went to the Space Needle, the zoo, shopped at every store in downtown Seattle and walked until around feel were about to fall off. The is the famous Fish Market. So fun! Jim and I before dinner at the Crab Pot. A cute restaraunt on the water.

On the subway to the Space Needle.

The zoo was so fun!

Of course, it rained on us.

Our last night we went to this game place. I laughed the entire time we were there.

We had such a great time and would love to go back! Maybe next time it will be before we board a cruise ship heading to Alaska. ha!

St. Simons Island

This will be our home for the next two weekends. Jim is going there this weekend on a golf trip with a bunch of guys and I'll be going next weekend on a bachelorette party.

This was Jim and I in St. Simons on our anniversary last year. ha!

Jim left this morning so I dropped him off at a friends house with my pjs on, coffee in hand and hair a mess. He was so excited...like a kid on the first day of school. It was too funny. We had his bag packed, lunch and cooler packed with goodies (and of course beer) and golf clubs cleaned and ready to go. I'm sure he'll have a blast. They do this trip every year on the same weekend and he always has a blast.

This weekend will be very relaxing for me. Well, I say that but I do have a list of things I want to get done. Such as: closet cleaned out, shower scrubbed (Savannah has the hardest water so I feel like I have to clean the shower all the time) and I would also like to lay out and ride my bike :)

This is my new bike. I love it so much!!

Speaking of cleaning out my closet, I did a mini clean last week and took 24 items to a high end consignment shop in town last week and I'm hoping to make a good chunk of change from all of it. You don't get paid for your stuff that you take until the clothes sell. Smart business move in my eyes. I called yesterday and I sold 4 things so far. Hopefully, by the time I leave for SSI I'll have at least $100 to spend at the Tibi Outlet. That's my goal!

Did I mention and glass of wine and a bubble bath on my to do list???? If not, I meant to!

Happy Friday!!

Mustaches & Margaritas

So, the M&M party was a hit! We all had so much fun and can't wait to do it again. Jim and I made all the tacos and fajitas before everyone got there as we sipped on the delicious margs Jim made.

Here's the chef himself.


Each couple brought a side, or a condiment, or an appetizer. It worked out perfectly where no one had too much to bring.


Jim and I also supplied the beautiful staches.



All the girls. Garet and Baby Wilkes wearing the staches.

Jackson and Liam were definitely the hit of the party. They didn't even care they had the mustaches on and it was too funny! You can't see us girls behind the camera but we were literally on the floor in tears laughing so hard!

Fun Fun night with great great friends!!
