Long time no see. I didn’t post last week at all and I am sorry. I was
dealt the nastiest cold that is still lingering. It felt like more than a cold
but evidently that’s all it turned out to be. I was in the bed for a couple of
days straight and could not get back into the swing of things like I wished.
I’m hoping that’s the last of the sickness for a while. Because for women, moms
especially, we don’t get off days, sick days or time alone. We get piled up
chores, work and late notices. And knowing I couldn’t get up and help my
husband or my precious mother, who graciously came over to help with the kids
and clean my house, was awful. I hate that helpless feeling and when you are
sick it feels like it’s never gonna end. Luckily mine did level out over the weekend and
I feel like I am on the mend. Here are a couple of pics of my life continuing
on around me while I sat on the couch and felt like an unhelpful, lazy, slob.
On a high note we booked our summer vacation to our home
away from home, Seaside, Fla. My kids are getting super excited, as are we. We
have been going there for our yearly beach vacations for the better part of 15
years. It’s a small beach community that prides itself on the laid back, simple
life. It’s so charming with its small town square full of boutiques and cafes
and an amphitheater where local artist play weekly to a sprawling lawn of
family’s young and old. There aren’t any huge hotels or resorts here just a
growing number of homes for rent in every pastel and summer color imaginable.
You can walk or bike just about anywhere. There are some great places for
dinner and the shopping at the Seaside Store, among other boutiques, gets us in trouble every year, oops... We always have to stock up on Seaside hats, t-shirts and hoodies.
This area is nestled in between Panama City Beach and Destin Fla., both about a
30-40 minute drive, depending on traffic. If you have seen a round bumper
sticker listing 30A on cars where you live, that’s this area. 30A is the road that runs through a ton of local beach communities. This
place is low key while still offering so much to see and do. If you have seen the movie “The Truman Show”
with Jim Carey, it was filmed here. That perfect little throw back 1950’s town
in all its flesh is in the Florida panhandle.
We are going to be so ready for our trip come June! Here are some pictures from past trips.
Well Happy Monday! Talk to ya’ll soon!
Love Heather
