I have definitely been slacking on posting but the holiday season has been busy, to say the least. Events around the low country are endless to get you in the holiday spirit. I put my decorations up right after Halloween, sometimes even before if I have a day off. I work so much, being in retail, that I want to be able to enjoy them! … Continue reading Christmas at the Beach
The North Carolina Blackberry Festival is in Lenoir, NC July 12-13 and is roughly a 5 hour drive from the south end of Myrtle Beach. Mom had been talking about going for weeks. She planned the weekend and said she got our hotel booked and were ready to go. I was really dreading that drive though. Little did I know, the Blackberry Festival was all … Continue reading My very own “Blackberry Festival”
Me and Mom love Wilmington, NC and we went about once a month in the last year. It’s only about an hour and a half from the south end of Myrtle. It’s not a bad drive at all. I’m going to try to roll everything together in one post. I’m going to do separate posts on One Tree Hill in Wilmington and Carolina/Kure Beach/Ft. Fisher. … Continue reading What Haven’t we done in Wilmington

When you walk in, there’s a tree growing in the foyer and it looks like … Continue reading We love to Flamingle (just not at the Grill)
I have been looking forward to this week for a long time. My best friend since like 3rd grade, Kayla, her mom, Deloris, and her son, Jaxon, were coming down to Myrtle for vacation. Kayla and I were inseparable most of our lives. We did everything together, she came on vacations with my family, we had a BFFC Club, did hair (she’s now a beautician … Continue reading Myrtle Staycation with my BFF
One of my good friends, Jayna, from Huntington came down the first week of June. Her and her boyfriend, Glenn, brought their camper down and stayed in Holden Beach, NC. They had a great little setup and Jayna made it homey and super cute. The best part about Holden Beach is driving over the large bridge to get over to the island. Once you get … Continue reading Holden Beach Adventures
My Mom used to have her own bake shoppe (Aunt Emme’s Bake Shoppe) in Kentucky. She can do pretty much anything! My Cake! Continue reading The 3-0 Party Continues
I turned the big 3-0 back in May. Mom asked me what I wanted to do. Really my only answer was to go to Bald Head Island. We had been when I was little (see below pic with my aunt and Granmom) and back in 2016 but we didn’t get to explore much so I wanted to spend the day there. So mom reserved our … Continue reading Cheers to 30!
