elements of the beachie vacay

there are some very important details that i have found essential for a great beachie vacay when the kiddos are not tagging along...

since we left behind the diapers and the water wings, i got a few fun little details to make the adult vacation super fun...

every single drink needs an umbrella...this is actually my water for the morning, but doesn't it look great with a beach umbrella in it??? i'm telling you...umbrella's make the drink better!

mini skirts and bright shirts...they are fun and i can't pull them off at the park at home or the softball games because, well, everyone would see my business and that's just not good. but when there's no diapey's to change or little ones to pick up, i can pull it off.

good friends...enough said!!!a super cute coppertone baby beach blanket...and my fav neon flip flops!
...one super hot hubs!
sandy beaches...

and honestly, just time....to talk and laugh...and to not be interrupted.
and time for me to remember how much i desperately miss my kiddos when i am not with them. the time is much needed...because the best gift i can ever give my kids is a loving, happy and honorable marriage...

My husband and I couldn't believe how nice it was to complete our thoughts and more than one conversation that didn't involve our sweet Yaya. Our cruise was just what our marriage needed. Good for you for taking time out too.

tuesday tribute---for tuesday

go blog yourself has been on my reading list for quite sometime...and so i really came to love little tuesday whitt and her whole sweet fam and became involved in praying for them in tuesday's battle with that stinky neuroblastoma . tuesday's parents are totally amazing...they inspire me! although tuesday went to play with jesus not so long ago, there have been so many people that are changed because of the courage and strength and honesty of the whitt family. on the day of celebration of tuesday's life, a number of folks who couldn't make it out to the funeral, took their kids on a 'wagie ride', which was one of tuesday's fav things. we all posted up our pics...shared our experiences with each other...and hugged our kiddos a little tighter. my kiddos wagie ride is here . from that precious little tuesday and her honorary wagie ride, a blog spawned...of course...and it is dedicated to nothing more than, in their words, "to keep track of lives touc...

random acts...GNO

over at GNO, there's a few of us who decided to challenge ourselves last week to perform a random act of kindness.   i talked with my girls and hubs about what we could do... we reserve some funds each month out of our giving to put towards a current or urgent need that we find.  i think it's important to let the kids see how we give as family...and they should be part of that decision too . as we were talking, and eating chinese...come on, you know there would be eating...i open my fortune cookie.  and this is it!! i was out getting a few minutes of alone time and decided to pay hubs forward by getting jiffy lube to do the oil change.  while i was there, i remembered how hard it was being a single mom.  i remembered that the little things, like oil changes, suddenly became bigger things and honestly, more expensive things.  *light bulb!!!* thomas rang me up for my oil change and asked if they had any scheduled appointments that i could pay for.  he looked at me a little odd......
