In case you missed it, I added a “shop my instagram” page to the blog a few weeks ago. So if Liketoknow.it doesn’t work for you, or you don’t want to use it, you can just hover over the “SHOP” tab at the top of my blog and a menu dropdown will appear that says “Shop My Instagram”. Click that, and you’ll see details for any item I share on instagram!
I LOVE Bite lipsticks and this little duo set is only $15!
The boys and I were in Bluffton, South Carolina last week and it was lovely. My parents are in the very, very early stages of looking for a home down there, so the boys and I crashed their trip for a few days. A 4.5 hour drive is a lot more managable in my mind than a 2 hour flight all the way to Chicago to see them! Justin had to work so he couldn’t join us, but the 5 of us had a really great time. We had a few chilly mornings and overcast days, but also some sunny and warm ones that were a great mix for outside and inside activities.
Given that week of travel, I’ve been scrambling to catch up with blog work at the end of the week and will continue through the weekend. My sister is coming to visit next week so I’ll be busy spending time with her and am anticipating less work time than usual-though totally worth it.
In fact, I think we are going to drive to Charlotte to hit up IKEA while she’s here because OF COURSE. I love Ikea. There are rumors that one will come to Raleigh-area in 2018 and if that is, in fact, true. . . I’ll be the happiest Raleigh resident ever.
And now I’m hijacking my normal links + loves posts for cute photos of my kids.
I have such fond memories of family vacations to South Carolina. Justin and I got married here, destination wedding style, at Palmetto Bluff. And it’s even more fun to bring my kids here and watch them have the time of their lives!
Have a lovely weekend. We are anticipating SNOW on Sunday?! It’s in the forecast but I’m really, deeply, desperately hoping that is incorrect!
p.s. have you checked out Playful yet?

How fun! I have to say, your Mom looks so young. Has she done anything over the years to keep her skin looking so great?
