Pardon me for Slackin'

Ok, so I haven't been very good at posting lately.

 I don't think I can blame it on being busy either. Don't get me wrong, I've been doing a lot -being in and out of the house-, but in my down time, I've really grown on the idea of doing nothing. Would this be an appropriate place to hash tag: sorry I'm not sorry? Yeah, but I won't.

I think every mom reserves the right to do absolutely nothing every now and again. I'm not being lazy. It's called: I've gotten everything I planned on getting done for that day out of the way already. I've completed my daily tasks. Do more? No. That's for tomorrow. Caroline is ready to relax? Ok. So what do I do? I lay Caroline on my chest, we lay on the couch & we watch Netflix. Current show, Desperate Housewives.

So let me catch you up..

Besides my daily chores, I've been working on revamping our house décor. Adding some color in some places, some twine in others, adding chalkboards and picture collages as well as new items to the table tops AND I'm currently saving up for new furniture purchases. #woohoo

Joseph and I have also been working on our yard. Spring is so beautiful, we wanted our yard to show it off. We are growing new grass in some spots, a flower bed in the front and in the back, we planted seeds in some pots for the porch, we have hanging flowers and wind chimes, as well as a hummingbird feeder and a regular bird feeder. My garden flag has been ordered and I'm anxiously awaiting its arrival. Joseph is going to love it ;)

Did I mention I turned 24? Gosh I feel like I'm getting old. Not really, but I'm having trouble comprehending that I am 24 now. Next year I'll be 25, which is rounded up to 30. Oh gosh. It was a mild birthday. I spent the day with my wonderful daughter and then when Joseph got off work, the 3 of us went out to dinner. I did drink almost a whole bottle of Pinot Noir by myself though... cheers to that!

Besides that, these last couple weeks we have spent a couple weekends at Lake Martin. Thank goodness Caroline likes (doesn't mind) traveling.

The first weekend we went up to Alabama was for Easter. Caroline's first Easter! We hadn't seen the Turner family since March so it was nice to spend this special weekend with them. It was a rather relaxed one, we all really enjoyed it. We spent Easter Sunday at Church of the Pines. It was a beautiful day to remember and celebrate our Lord and Savior.

 

The next weekend we went up was for a very eventful weekend. We saw my sister-in-law graduate with her Masters Degree from Auburn, we went cruising around on the boat - the dogs got to play on Jake island and we went to Talladega! I got to practice up on my Corn Hole game, which is not nearly as good as it was "back in the day."

Talk about a fun weekend... from one thing to another. Some much needed rest was caught up on after all that.

Now we get a relaxing two weeks before we are off on another adventure. This time to Niceville for Memorial day weekend with the Robb family.

Real talk... I think we have a trip planned every 2 weeks until the end of August. #ontheroadagain or in some cases, in the air. Caroline takes her 1st flight in June!
