suitcase.

I'm packing our suitcases now for a much needed and long awaited beach trip. We leave tomorrow for Topsail Island, and I can already feel the wind in my hair. I cannot wait to see Olive running on the beach, and to see the seagulls fly around us. To hear the waves rolling in as we drift off into a world that we'd love to always be in. What is your favorite part about the beach?

This morning I made my famous Sunday waffles for my family before we leave for the beach in the morning. These are Olive's favorite thing in the world; she usually eats about 4.



I look forward to sharing our experiences at the beach with you all, as well as pictures and memories. Until then :)

After a long day of sewing each "feather" by hand, I finally finished Olive's owl costume for Halloween. It turned out as I'd hoped, but I'm still trying to figure out a solution for a head part of the costume because there is no way she will wear a mask.

Here's the completed costume:

Keep your eyelids up for many posts to come. They will vary from recipes, to photographs, to me simply writing. I look forward to sharing my thoughts and life with you guys, and thank you for reading. Good night.
