Normally at this time of the summer, we are planning our vacation to Biloxi.  Nothing like the beautiful weather and great time at the Beau Rivage .  Well, this year, we had  a surprise, when we found out that our little girl would be coming... So the trip was cancelled.  I have been looking back at all the photos from last year and man, I hate that we will miss it... I did want to share with you a little, so maybe you can plan a side trip for a few days to enjoy!    A view of the Beau at night from their parking deck.   We normally go to Biloxi and spend a few days there. The staff is always so nice.  They have plenty of dining options, a kids arcade and a great p...

Summer break doesn't mean break from reading.  We still love books and of course, interest is more if it is a subject that brings excitement!   We were sent a couple books based on the new Disney Pixar movie, Inside Out.  We loved the movie, so I was excited to get the books!  I am sharing two today and will share two more tomorrow!  This would be great for summer reading, or to make a fun bag for road tripping!   Inside Out - Sadly Ever After   This is a hard back book with pages full of colorful illustrations that are sure to grab your attention.

If you have been to this blog before, you might know that Nicholas Sparks is one of my favorite authors.  I fell in love with his writing when my mom first bought The Notebook (when it first came out.)  I loved it so much, she gave it to me and I have made it a point to purchase every book of his since that very first one.  My mom even tracked down a very hard to find book of his and gave it to me one year for Christmas.  To say that I am excited that another of his movies has been made into a movie is an understatement...  Yep!!  The Longest Ride is headed our way!   To help prepare you for the chance to have a perfect date night, I was even sent an image with a few things you ca...

Not even sure how accurate it is these days.)  Not only does it look nice, it is full of information for you!  Check it out:     Image Credit - Amazon   What makes the C...

When Broxton was a baby, he used to love to stand in his baby bed and "talk" to us...  Another favorite thing he enjoyed doing?  Gnawing on the railing on the bed.  Once we put the bed into a toddler bed, I quickly forgot about the damage those teeth caused on the crib.  We kept the crib, in case we had another baby, or for when a grandbaby would come into our lives...  Now that we are having our baby girl, we got the crib down and ready to use...   That was when it hit us...   That baby boy of ours did some major damage!!!!  I started looking to find something to hide the damage that was done, but then I was reminded that I could not find anything when he was a baby, so I...
