We went to Myrtle Beach for the weekend of my birthday. Let me tell you now. It sucked. This is not a family Beach. If you like to actually spend time on the beach like we do, then its the worst beach to go to. The weather sucked the entire time we were there. It stormed every single day, and it seemed to rain almost non-stop. We ended up driving to Topsail Island just to get some beach time in. The following pictures of from our time in Topsail (which we love btw).





I love the beach in summer.

One inspired find.

I have been searching for months to find the perfect "purse" to carry. See, I have an eight month old, and I am usually seriously loaded up with bags already whenever she and I take a trip outdoors on one of my fanatic shopping excursions. Add one heavy 19 pound wiggle worm to my load, and I am completely overloaded. I needed something I could easily put on, and something that would stay put, no matter what postions I end up in (like half-crouching trying to scoop up said wiggle-worm with one arm). I tired every store I could think of. Finally one day, while on one of my wandering trip around Target, I found IT.

It is a plaid bag with straps that go on like a bookbag. Its small, and light, and so easy to carry. Plus it won't slip off. Such a cute little useful preppy find. (Except for the itsy bitty problem of bonking me on the head if I lean over, but I can deal with that). Its prolly humorous to see anyway.

A greek obsession.

I love the new ABC show Greek. Really. I spent all day last Mon. watching a marathon on ABC. And then on Sat, night I stayed up till 1 o'clock in the morning watching the ones that they don't show.

I'm kinda weird in that I will find something I love, and then get obsessed over it for like two weeks. After those two weeks are up, I find that suddenly I don't think nearly as much of the object of my obsession. I just kinda forget it almost. I may still like it, but I'm not obsessed with it anymore. Telling isn't it.

My Sweet Pea

Decided I would let you get a look at my pretty girl. Shes 8 months old now. Man they grow really fast! I feel like if I blink too fast she will be 16 before I am ready.

We went to the zoo recently and these pics are from that adventure. In the second pic, she is sitting in a giant ostrich egg. Nice little nod to where she came from, a bit of strange humor my husband displayed.

Yay for Target!

I swear I can walk into Target and easily rack up on hundred dollars worth of stuff in ten minutes.

One of my favorite pastimes is to just walk around Target and look at everything. I always find stuff I walk this way. I love the baby clothes there. I found a great preppy pair of shorts there for my little angel.

These shorts come in a bunch of different color combos, this is just the one that I liked.

100 Calories!

Right now I am on a healthier diet kick. So I am trying various new item. I love the Nabisco 100 Calorie snacks. The Mister Salty and Oreo Candy Bites are really good, and help when I am having a chocolate snack craving. I have given up sodas completely and am drinking Crystal Light bottle drinks. I can't believe I have never drank these before! They really are good, my favorite is the pink lemonade flavor. Cutting calories is really not hard now with all this low calorie stuff in the grocery stores. They seem to be everywhere now!

Blogging

I have decided to fill my spare time with blogging. Its almost the start of summer and I will be posting my favorite preppy finds. I will also be posting just favorite things in general as I come across them. Bring the summer on!
