Happiness

Hello! Tomorrow is Friday and I am just getting a chance to sit down and share this post with the highlights of our long weekend in Florida. To say that I hit the ground running in Charlotte would be an understatement. It has been an absolutely insane two days and I’m flying out to PA to lead a weekend workshop on Friday.

It is also taking me forever to write this post because Netflix suggested that I watch their new show Selling Sunset and I can’t stop watching it. And for the record this is not an endorsement that you should watch it. It is reality TV in all of its glory.

Back on track…

Our trips to Florida make my heart happy. It’s been a blessing to be able to share so much of Finn’s first year with my family and being there is truly my happy place.

Here are some photos from our weekend.

Water baby. He’s been taking swim lessons since he was six months old and he LOVES the water!

The BEST weather and CLEAREST water on this trip.

So much time outside. Outdoor living is my favorite. I need to upgrade my patio in Charlotte for the spring/summer season. Let me know if you have suggestions or ideas. My dream is to have a screen porch one day but not in the cards for my rental.

Sunsets.

My dad and Finn.

Two peas in a pod. Finn and I attended the last event of the season for the snowbirds and it was a pizza social. I cracked up to find these two sharing pizza.

My mom got him this sweet swim outfit and hat. I’m so exited that it’s bathing suit weather again! I can’t wait for Finn to be a beach baby this summer!

I mean….I wish I could say that he didn’t try to put a fistful of sand in his mouth.

Playing patty cake.

My mom and I went outlet shopping and got some awesome deals!

Beach walk with my mom and my babe on our last day.

Toes in the sand.

My frequent flyer was quite the entertainer on the flight home.

Until next time…which will be soon! 🙂

Where is your happy place?

TransRockies truly excels when it comes to planning and [...]

This potato and broccoli cheddar soup is a warm hug in a bowl. It’s a mash up of potato soup meets broccoli cheddar soup, and makes for a creamy, hearty and cheesy bowl that has just enough broccoli in it to make you feel like you’re getting your veggies in for a complete meal. POTATO [...]
