4th of july

We had a great day as a family of 3. Although this was our weekend with Kay, her family had a beach trip planned so we missed not having her around. Her stepdad did text us a picture of her decked out in red white and blue though.

Our day got off to a bit of a slow start but we hit up Northeast Park in Gibsonville, NC. It was a 25 min drive and you know who fell asleep on the way there way before his nap time. We had so much fun at the pool/splashpad/playground once we got there. I highly recommend this place for families with toddlers. We had wanted to take in a Hopper's game but they were sold out so our friends asked if we wanted to go to the Winston Salem Dash game instead. We did and had so much fun :) We chased the boys. Troy watched Baby Einstein. Dad's drank beer and we only watched the scoreboard not the actual game. The game was sold out and the lawn was full so we snagged a spot on some extra land they had where there was cornhole and a few food and lemonade vendors. Troy "kind of" enjoyed the fireworks. He didn't nap much the whole day so by the time 9:30 and fireworks rolled around he was pretty tense but relaxed once he was in J.T.'s arms

How fortunate we are for all the choices and freedoms we have in the United States. Happy Independence Day!



Cheers, LB

pinned week 3

land of the free, because of the brave.

Cheers, LB

Of Note: 

• The baby leggings can be found at Sugarlime Lane. 
• I love eagles and this sweater. Such a powerful and beautiful symbol of America.
• I hope to find a white tank and for Troy to hold his hand still so I can make this memory/shirt.

**Most importantly...it is easy to get caught up in the fashion and fun and booze and pool and food, but let's remember those still fighting, those who have fought, and how FORTUNATE we are to be Free as a Nation.

Godspeed Our Troops.

My mommy friends and I met to buy some good goat cheese, blueberries, peaches, and Kay managed to sneak out with some yummy Chocolate Fudge! Simple days. Great memories!

summer solstice

I feel like I was just wishing everyone a happy spring but alas, Happy Summer! It was a hot one here in Greensboro, NC. The high was 90 and for all you west coasters that was on top of our like 90% humidity. Have I mentioned that I can't wait o move WEST! Anyhoo, the four of us had a great time visiting the booths and just enjoying the peaceful serenity that these solstice's bring. Troy rode in his Kelty backpack, ate veggie chips and pointed at all of the doggies. Kay was torn about what to have her face painted as. She went with Queen A-Nu-Ruh. J.T. and I were just happy to be out experiencing all that our city has to offer and showing our kids the meaning of diversity, fun, acceptance, beliefs, talent, and hardwork. Here are some shots. The 10th annual Solstice was held at Lindley Park.

Cheers, LB

Our green eyed beauty.

My favorite three!

My incredible talented neighbor handmade all these jewelry pieces. Check out her etsy shop Dragonstone Designs

This body art in incredible!

Sprinkling Fairy Dust. I would have hated to be her. Pretending to be a statue in 9 0 degree weather. Ugh!

These two are dreamy. Adore them.

They were sold out of water. So she had Pepsi.
