We live for Summer on the Outer Banks, so when those crazy awesome grandparents agreed to take our kids for a week so we could squeeze in a vacay before another busy school year started, we opted for a Staycation to soak in all the Summer goodness the OBX offers.

4th of July in Wilmington was full of new Friends, Fireworks and Fun! 🎉 We met the Cheeks on a group trip to Nosara Costa Rica a few years ago, and immediately hit it off. Then our kids finally met in Charleston at a mutual friend's wedding this past Spring, and they hit it off. So [...]
We picked the right name for Crew since he loves being on the water and anything to do with boats. 💦 This was the first year he was old enough for sailing camp with East Coast Sailing, and he absolutely loved it! Hardy and his crew taught the kids the basics and made it super [...]

We loved its boho, small surf town vibe.😍 My travel soul sista, Sarah, researched the [...]
Moms only week in Naples was a serious slice of heaven on earth. The sun was hot, the beaches were beautiful, and there was no one to take care of but ourselves. ☀️🌼💛🍋🍑🧡💫 Allegiant Air did us right with a cheap and quick flight from Norfolk (ORF) to St. Pete (PIE), and it was [...]
2017 was MAGIC!✨ We worked hard, adventured often, and shared as much love and laughter as we could squeeze into 365 days. Adam kicked off 2017 as the Kitty Hawk Elementary School Teacher of the Year! Such an honor after 13 years of teaching. I was named the Coldwell Banker Seaside Realty Agent of the [...]
