Charles and I are heading to the beach this morning with some of our very best friends, and that makes me truly happy!

Have a fabulous weekend! :)

What makes you happy this Friday?

In honor of my mother…the kindest person I know.

If you still haven’t picked up something special for your mom, there’s still time! Here area few of my favorite Mother’s Day gift guides this year:

1. From Kristin at The Hunted Interior
2. From Gabrielle at Savvy Home Blog
3. From Holly at Charm & Gumption
4. From Albertina at Mimosa Lane
5. From Kelsey at Southern in Love
6. From Jacey at Damsel in Dior
7. And lastly, Southern Living‘s gift guide

I hope you enjoy your weekend, and get to spend some time celebrating the special moms in your lives!

It’s here! We are finally closing on our mortgage today and I couldn’t be more ready!! We’ve been dealing with a construction loan for almost a year now (357 days to be exact), which was definitely the right decision, but I’m ready to be finished with it.

Our house is far from complete.  There’s still PLENTY to do and I don’t think that we will ever truly be finished, but I’m excited for the hubs and I to just settle into normal life…whatever that is.

Thank you all so much for following along with us as we’ve made our dream a reality. It really means the world.

Have a lovely weekend!

Have a fantastic weekend! :)
