Beach Week 2020 Photo Recap

Last week at the beach in the Outer Banks was exactly what we needed ya’ll. We were able to get a much needed change of scenery and had fun alternating between the beach and pool (our beach house had a pool) daily. While we cooked most of our meals, we did order take-away for dinner twice from Sonny’s Restaurant and Sandbar and Grill, and Tommy was able to ride a jet-ski for a bit one day.

Here are some photos if you would like to see!

Tuesday Tidbits – 333

  • Should I Wear a Mask During My Job Interview?
  • I have been wanting to take the kids to a peaceful Black Lives Matter protest but couldn’t quite figure out the logistics and placating Tommy’s concern about safety (remember, Helicopter Dad), so it was just perfect that we stumbled on one in Annapolis on Sunday!
  • Considering how many margaritas I am making as of late, it was crazy that I didn’t own margarita glasses. No more, no more!

Tuesday Tidbits – 328

  • Happy Cinco De Mayo! Do you have any fun recipes or cocktails you are whipping up for tonight? (Hey – it’s the small things right?) We’ll order dinner from one of our favorite Mexican restaurants and I’ll be making these delicious Spicy Cucumber Margaritas again.
  • The Napa to Sonoma Half Marathon that my friend Christina and I were supposed to run in July has been postponed (not surprisingly). The race organizers are trying to find a good date in the fall. Hoping all parties can find another date that works for the majority of people.
  • Find the joy:
Love my two crazy and energetic kiddos.
  • I was in need of finding a softer, gentler washcloth for my face – and one that didn’t leave makeup stains. Enter Weezie Towels. So far I like them and have noticed my face is less irritated.
  • What are your plans for Mother’s Day? My family and I will be noshing on Italian deliciousness from Mia’s Italian Kitchen! If you still need a gift for mom, check out this Mother’s Day Bundle! Orders close on Thursday.

Tuesday Tidbits – 321

  • I’m really hoping we don’t have to cancel our family trip to Lake Tahoe the first week of April due to Coronavirus….
  • This Spring Asparagus Risotto looks divine.

Mommy and Daughter Trip to Dallas Recap

While there are many wistful things about your kids growing up too fast, there are some perks to your children growing up as well. In Ava and my world that includes being travel buddies!

When Katie and I were in New York last fall for her Babymoon, we decided that she and I would throw a Sip and See for Baby Elizabeth a couple of months after she was born. And that is exactly what we did.
