We're Baaaaack!!


We are finally back from our winter beach trip. It was NOT crowded at all...in fact....a lot of places were closed for the winter! But it was nice to shop and eat...and shop, and eat.

We had a little hiccup in the trip when our condo was burglarized and some of our personal things were taken. Not how we wanted to end our trip. Thankfully we weren't there when it happened and the things they took can  be replaced.

We were pretty down about it, until I came home and started looking at our pictures from the week. I realized that we had a wonderful time with each other and nothing can take that away.

Here's a little peek into our week...

We're too cheap to go to the Aquarium....so we went to Bass Pro Shops instead for Gray to see the fish.

We thought she was loving driving her car....


But clearly we were wrong.


Hubby about to do some serious seafood eating.


It was cold on the beach, but it was a beautiful day for letting Gray run and play in the sand.



Is there anything in the world cuter than baby feet??? No, there isn't.


This little girl LOVES the water.



AND the sand.


Yay for family pictures! So glad Granny could go with us.



I can't resist that face. This was taken right before she smeared that container of butter In. Her. Hair.


Shopping must always include a snack bag.


Taking a peek out to the ocean.



Oh how I love this girl.


One word about this picture....Timing! I think this one is pretty cool.


Granny posed with her bird-friend.



I was a great week but it's so nice to be home. Maybe next time we'll actually TAKE a bathing suit and be able to wear it.

A Little Vacation

It's time to take a little vacation

She needs me....

And I need this...


The sandy shores of the beach.

It might be cold...but the view and the sound of the waves will still be wonderful.

Hubby, Granny, Grayson and I will be back all too soon.

What I Love Wednesday

What I Love banner
 
It's time for another addition of What I Love Wednesday....where I get to feature what YOU have been up to this week!
 
I haven't been quite as inspired as I should be to totally organize my house, or at least a room in my house, or a closet, or something. I have found some great organization projects that could be a bit of help on my get-it-together mission.
 
I love the use of over-the-desk shelving for this office redo. And I really love the white and green!
 

I have a box at home specifically for cards...with no actual cards in it. Now I can see how nice it would be to have all of my cards organized and in one place.

Greeting Card Organization at Echoes of Laughter
 
Hubby doesn't wear ties...but if he did this would be a great way to display them! This way, guys can see their accessories in one place to help them put an outfit together.
 

With all of my looking at organization, I found these two little pretties....

Let's just say I freaked out a little when I read that these boots were covered in Duct Tape! I love Duct Tape and the new patterns are amazing. I never would have guessed that these boots used to be black.

These ruffly-goodness pillows are made from a table runner! How cool is that?? A little hot glue and stuffing and the table runner became two very expensive looking and fluffy pillows.

Thanks for the inspiration Crafty Friends!
