My sister-in-law is pregnant with twins and will be having them sometime in the next two months. We are all so excited for them! When I found out that she would be finding out the genders right around the time we would all be doing our family vacation in Florida, I kind of begged her to do a gender reveal party on the beach. In fact, I offered to plan the whole thing. Thankfully, she agreed to it! With the help of our other family members, we all threw a fantastic beach gender reveal party for twins!

Front Porch Reveal
Guys, I am SO excited about this room. It is my favorite room in my whole house. I love how it turned out, and it really didn't take much work. Check out the before photos. How nasty is that carpet? And those curtains were not working for me. Let's take a closer look. I took down the curtains and cleaned around all the windows. There wasn't anything I could do with the carpet. I thought about pulling it up, but the cement underneath had been painted at one point and it was going to need a lot of work. So instead, I decided to cover the carpet with one big rug. But here's the thing -- Continue Reading
Things to Do in Panama City Beach
Panama City Beach is one of my favorite places to vacation. I just finished my fourth trip there, and I know there are many more trips to come in my future. Travis' parents have been visiting PCB, Florida, for years and years. They couldn't even tell me how many years they've been there. It's become tradition for his family to get together there every year. With their help, I've made this list of things to do in Panama City Beach, as well as a list of great restaurants to try during your visit. Trying new restaurants is one my favorite parts of going on vacation! Things to Do in PCB Go Continue Reading
Hawaii Photo Album
I told you in my last post that Travis and I were able to go visit Hawaii -- something I've always wanted to do and definitely didn't expect that I'd get to do it this year! Well, I have tons of photos from this awesome time in Hawaii, and who doesn't love to look at beautiful beaches and admire God's creation? So, I'm sharing some of our photos with you in this post. Think of it as you and me sitting down on my couch as you turn the pages of my freshly made photo album. Hope you enjoyed my photo album! Continue Reading
6 Things to Do in Oahu
Are you heading to Hawaii? Perhaps to the island of Oahu? Travis and I recently got to visit Hawaii, and it was awesome to say the least. The Army sent him there to take a class for a week, and I wasn't about to let him go without me! So we got me a plane ticket too, and off we went to a place I've always wanted to go! We had six days to do everything we wanted, and I was surprised that we fit everything into one week! During the day, I would go explore on my own while Travis was in class. I would pick him up in the evenings and we'd adventure out together. After our time in Oahu, I came Continue Reading
Bathroom Makeover: Goodbye Swans
One of the first rooms finished in my house was surprisingly the bathroom. I guess it got done first because I need the bathroom. I need a toilet and a shower -- that's important to me. Now that it's done, I'm so excited to share it with ya'll! Check out my bathroom makeover! Here's what the bathroom looked like before we did anything. There was a window above the bathtub. Complete with old lady curtains. There were two towel racks above the bathtub. Teal and brown tile. A big clashing flower border. An old small mirror with lights that don't work. A big long mirror above the Continue Reading
A Little Getaway
A couple weeks ago, Travis' aunt and uncle called to tell us they were in Daytona, Florida for vacation. They asked if we'd like to go down to stay with them for the weekend. Of course we wanted to! It was just over a 3-hour drive, so we decided to make the trip! We left Friday night when Travis got off work and stayed with them until Sunday evening. It was a short getaway, but we both thoroughly enjoyed it. It was so nice getting to spend some quality time with his aunt and uncle. I loved getting to know them both better. Uncle Pat was cracking me up both days! I had no idea he was so Continue Reading
March Visitors #2
Travis and I must have had the luck of the Irish this month because we had two weeks of visitors. Last week I shared a recap of our time with Travis' sister and nephew at Sea World and Downtown Disney. Today, I'm sharing about our time with my brother and his girlfriend -- Logan and Kendall. Luckily, Travis had Monday off so once our visitors arrived, Travis got to spend two-and-a-half days with them. We played board games, played laser tag, won some candy playing arcade games, visited the mall, went bowling, took a tour of Fort Stewart and enjoyed lots of laughs. While Travis Continue Reading
September Visitors
Before September is over, I want to share with ya'll about the fun we had with our visitors this month. My brother and his girlfriend, along with my parents, came to see us! Logan and Kendall (that's my little bro and his woman) could only stay for the weekend because their college classes called. My parents, though, stayed for a whole week! This is a summary of our time with our visitors -- mostly in pictures -- if you follow me on Instagram you may have seen some of these. (I LOVE Instagram!) On our first day with everybody, we went to Tybee Island for some beach time. We packed a picnic Continue Reading
