beach snapshots

Β today i am sharing a few iphone snapshots from our beach trip in south carolina last weekΒ 
…i will let the photos do the talking…
our nephew, cameron james, sleepingΒ  so peacefully on me under a tent on the beach
i fell so much more in love with this little man last week
he is precious and so good
Β i went to a boutique and consignment shop with my sister-in-law {love spending time with her!}
these little bow ties were to die for!
Β we spent some time on thursday night at a hidden gemΒ 
it was tucked away underneath lots of big trees and had a cool, eclectic feel
there was live music- market lights- people enjoying cocktails
it’s simplicity- yet fun- atmosphere reminded me of home so much.Β 
Β mr. monaco and his 90 year old grandma
Β her parents were so appreciative of my daily photo sharesΒ 
that i took quite a few of her and her brother- plus she’s so cute.
baby boy loved the beach – 18 weeks
Β yesterday i shared some motherhood inspriations in my life
this amazing mom is another one- she makes it look so effortless and is so graceful
i admire her and just wish we lived closer!
tiny baby toesΒ 
beach life selfieΒ 
Β 
i thought this little tooth fairy {for a boy} was so cute!
there was also one for little girls
Β aunt nellie loves a good snuggleΒ 
a delicious dinner at frank’sΒ 
i read where’d you go bernadette on the beach and really enjoyed the humor!
have you read it?
Β mocktail hour
Β β€œsmell the sea and feel the sky
let your soul and spirit fly.”
 – van morrisonΒ 
hope you are having a great day!
Β what are your favorite things to do at the beach?
 …
as a kid, i loved staying on the beach until late in the evening
{absolutely love it when the sun goes down and the sand becomes cool}
Β walks on the beach at night with my sister
beer butt chicken for dinner
my dad making {virgin and then non-virgin} cocktails and bringing appetizers out to the pool
playing lots of games and having a family puzzleΒ 
{we always work on it throughout the week- sometimes late into the night #addicts}
seafood dinners out
watching them make salt water taffey at barefoot landing
putt putt golfingΒ 
and most importantly, forgetting all your cares for a week.

    You're making me miss the beach awfully! Looks beautiful.
    I did read Bernadette, and loved it! The perfect mix of mystery, humor, and realism – it was one of my first blog book reviews way back when!
