Years ago my best friend and I happened upon a gem of a movie called Shag {any UK readers out there are probably snickering or gasping silently at the title lol}. The movie takes place in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina where the main characters take a girls trip to have one last *hurrah* before one of them gets married. We were young teenagers, always looking for the strangest, never heard of before movies {Strictly Ballroom anyone??…random fact – the director…
I have a few items on my sewing list this summer, so I figured I had better get started. As we have been spending our days at the beach, I figured starting with a cover up would be the way to go. I made her a couple in 2010 and because she’s so little she was able to get two summers out of them. But this year she needed a new one.…
It’s no secret I love to holiday….and often spend time online pricing out fantasy vacations and getaways. It might be a wee addiction, but I have no intentions of quitting. It is seriously SO much fun {not quite as fun as actually GOING on the holidays, but a close second}. And Redweek has only fueled the passion and given me so many more ideas and options.…
One thing I’ve really started focusing on is putting the effort in to making memories. Making the conscious effort to create them EVERY day. It doesn’t have to be big things all the time like Disneyland or Beach Vacations, though those are obviously wonderful, but little things in the every day and making the time to BE together – enjoying and learning together.

A friend of mine recently had twin boys – yes, she is busy…and yes it’s an adjustment…and yes she had lots of help {yay to big families and super helpful inlaws}…and yes she LOOOOOOOVES it! Truth is, she is about the 10th person I know to have twins and they ALL say it’s awesome. She also has a 4 year old son who is enjoying being able to love on his two baby brothers – who are arguably the easiest…
Every time I work out I have two little shadows that join in, trying their best to mimick the moves. I love it, and we always end up laughing and enjoy a wee moment of bonding. I love it when the kids see me exercising and doing what I can to keep myself healthy and strong {though, admittedly it’s not as often as I’d prefer}. And I love seeing them up and moving too – so much better than just…
I had to pin this activity myself so it would qualify for this particular feature. lol So, it is now on my Pinterest, but I actually found this fantastic idea from Domestic Charm – who originally found it from Smashed Peas and Carrots {which have both easily been added to my favorites list}. I was on my way to pick my daughter up from school but was determined to try this as soon as we got home. I am so…
