Birthday Shout-Out + Giveaway Winner!

Today is my Mother-in-Law's birthday! To say I'm lucky to have her in my life is an understatement. Not only did I marry a wonderful man, but I married into an amazing family. She is kind, loving, a great friend, and giving.

 

We are celebrating with dinner at Fat Hen tonight and I may have already picked out what I'm going to order. It's a habit of mine to choose what I'll be eating before I even get to the restaurant - am I alone here?

My July Fourth Weekend + Giveaway Winner

Ahh the Monday after 4th of July weekend. Always such a caffeine filled and hazy day, especially after sitting in traffic this morning for 45 minutes due to a structure fire. After working July 4th, 5th, & 7th I thought for sure I'd be scheduled off today. But no, not the case.  I even make the schedule! What was I thinking??

 

I had my fair share of fun on Saturday though, which was good enough for me!

 

We started by doing a little fishing on the boat, then headed to the sandbar to meet up with some friends. After that, we went to Cameron's cousin's 30th birthday bash! It was so fun! They had an inflatable slide, inflatable slip n slide, beer truck, and food truck!

The beer and food trucks were owned by Coastal Crust. The food truck served pizza, s'mores and gelato, and the beer truck served a variety of craft beer. All were super tasty!

Here was our view when we pulled up by boat

 

And here's the party!

 

If only my birthday weren't in December! I've always wanted a pool party!

China Cabinet Reveal [+Giveaway Winner!]

I'm so excited to share the china cabinet reveal with y'all this morning! If you follow me on Instagram, you got a sneak peek last night. After sitting in our garage for months, Cameron finally gave me a deadline of getting it done by Mother's Day since we were having everyone over for brunch. Deadlines give me motivation.
It turned out 10x better than I expected it to!

Weekend, New App & Giveaway Winner!

Happy Memorial Day!

While I am stuck working today, surprisingly, I had both Saturday and Sunday off. I took full advantage and had such a fun weekend!

Saturday we took the boat out with Emily & David and met a group of friends at Morris Island. 

Yes, that would be Cameron wearing towel kilt.

The plans for Sunday were originally to go back to Morris Island during the day and then go to a cookout on Goat Island but thanks to the tropical storm that decided to head out way, we decided that may not be a fun ride on the boat. We had no set plans all day and it turned out to be a really good day anyway!

The day was spent with Jason, Jessica and Jacob, and included:

-Lunch at Smokey Oak

-Multiple drinks at the James Island Yacht Club

-Pool party and cookout

-Multiple margarita's on Jason's parents' amazing back porch

-Back to Smokey Oak for one (or two) more drink.

While we were at the pool party / cookout seen in the photos above, we were introduced to a new (to us) app that was pretty hilarious and kept us entertained for almost an hour.

If you're not easily offended, download this app. Some of the captions were a bit vulgar.

Clean examples:

And last but certainly not least, the giveaway winner for the Queen of the Tailgate giveaway is......
