Weekend Update (part 2)

I know yall (yes I am from the South) have been anxiously waiting to hear about the rest of our weekend. First of all let me thank those of you who texted, called and messaged me to see how Grace was doing! It means to much to know we have great friends that really care!

Well after our scare on Friday night, Grace woke up, after sleeping on her Daddy on all night, ready for the day! She was still wheezing slightly, but nothing like the night before. I kept giving her tylenol and rubbing Vicks on her chest and neck. 


Grace wanted to do anything her Cousin Luke was doing. She was his little shadow for the next two days. She still had a pretty good sounding cough, but it did not slow her down for a minute!

Saturday afternoon we headed to Sky Top Orchard which is only about 5 miles down the road. This apple orchard was fantastic! First off it was FREE, beautiful, play sets for the kids, animals, bamboo forest, apples, grapes, donuts and much much more!


Now I am about to show a lot of pictures, but how cute are the many faces of Baby Grace!!










I would love to know what she was thinking during some of these pictures?!?!

The rest of the evening was full of family, friends, corn-hole, fire, food and lots of fun because it was Grace's Uncle Justin's Birthday!


Thank you Uncle Justin for letting us crash on your couch and spend your special day with you! Happy Birthday! We love you!

Weekend Update (part 1)


Fall is here in South Carolina and it just makes you want to spend all your day outside. So this weekend that is what we decided to do with our time. We took Grace on her first camping trip! 

Before Grace was born, we would go camping all the time. We love being outside and we also love that it is fairly inexpensive and you can make more of your weekend that way. We usually hike into a location and camp, but for Grace's first time camping we decided to car camp at Cascade Lake Campground. It was a beautiful setting right on the water. As soon as we got out of the car Grace was in heaven! She would live outside if she could! Grace and I explored while, daddy set up the tent and site. Then it was time to sit and enjoy!


Grace was a trooper! We grilled hamburgers, baked beans and apples. We had our blowup set up in the tent with Grace's pack-n-play mattress right beside the blowup. When it was time for bed she laid right down and fell asleep! Michael and I thought it could not get much better than this! She is asleep, we sat by the fire with a glass of wine and marshmallows! Then that is when the night became interesting...

At mid-night I am awoken to a gasp beside me. Grace is gasping for air and not able to breath. I grab her and lay her on my chest and she is still wheezing and gasping. Michael jumps up and we rush in the car. Grace almost immediately starts to breath better once in the car... HUM... We were ready to drive to the ER! Thankfully Michael's brother and family live down the road about 30 minutes from where were camping. We call him and to tell him know we were coming to crash on his couch. Grace slept on her daddy that night to make sure she did not have another episode. She was still wheezing all night, but thankfully no more gasping. We are pretty sure Grace has croup. Very scary, but rarely serious. 

Tune in tomorrow to hear the rest of the weekend...

My Cleaning Addiction (Part 2)-

(Grace loves sheet washing day!)

I don't know if you are like me, but I am a little OCD. Ok. I admit it... maybe more than a little. I LOVE for my house to be clean. I want it to look nice, I don't want Grace rolling in dirt (that is in my house) and I don't like germs. So with me being the type A person that I am... I have a little cleaning schedule, that until now has been in my head. 


MONDAY: Wash sheets, blankets on the couches, rugs, mats, and all laundry. (pretty much my washer gets a workout for the day)

TUESDAY: Scrub bathrooms.

WEDNESDAY: Errands and shopping day.

THURSDAY: Mop floors.

FRIDAY: Dust, & clean baseboards.

EVERYDAY: Vacuum, sweep, laundry, cook breakfast, lunch & dinner, and dishes.

Do you have a cleaning schedule? Or just clean as it needs it? Do you have chores you love? I would love to hear about it!

Happy Birthday Margaret!

Today is Margaret's birthday, my friend, my cohort, my confidant, my running partner and my sister! 


Let me tell you a little about Margaret... She is currently teaching in GA, coaching the high-school girl's soccer team, and coaching Covenant College's JV girls soccer team. Sports is her thing. She can play almost any sport and win, even if she has never even played before. She likes to wake me up really early and run EVERYDAY. She loves to cook, bake, feed people and experiment with food. Her nickname is Mo and she loves her family!

Margaret came to see us this past weekend and we had a little pre-birthday celebration. 



Happy Birthday Margaret! We hope you have a wonderful day! We love you!
