To describe our growing up in the lowcountry of South Carolina, I would have to take you to the marsh on a spring day, flush the great blue heron from its silent occupation, scatter marsh hens as we sink to our knees in mud, open an oyster with a pocketknife and feed it to you from the shell and say, 'There. That taste. That's the taste of my childhood.' - Pat Conroy

It's about time!

This weekend started out fabulous, with a capital F!

I, like most people, enter most every contest that peaks my interest, because Rafflecopter has made it so very easy. Like a FB page and BAM, you're entered!

I enter at least three contests a week whether it be a blog giveaway, facebook giveaway, whatever...well last week I entered to win a $200 Disney gift card, along with 13,000 other people and I freaking won! I could not believe and I had tears in my eyes when they contacted me. That saves us so much money right there. All of our little souvenirs and extras for our trip to Disney are now paid for by me winning that gift card!

Remember Le Bebe Bowtique that I told you about last week? They make those super cute chunky necklaces for kids...well they hosted a giveaway as well for a free necklace, and guess who won? If you guessed me, you're right! I seriously was so astonished that I had finally won, not one, but two giveaways because I truly never win a damn thing. I told Tarl we needed to play the lotto, so he bought me a scratch off. I won $5...Tarl said he would go buy another one, but I didn't want to push my luck.

This weekend was so beautiful and warm. The chances of rain and thunderstorms were 70% on Saturday and it was nothing but clear blue skies. We enjoyed it immensely!

We headed to a little community in Beaufort called Habersham and it is so cute and sweet with lowcountry styled homes, perfectly manicured yards, town homes that look like something out of a magazine and small shops along with this precious little playground that Cadence just had to play on!




Cadence also went mug bogging...


...and played dress up. From tom boy to princess all in one day!


Our ducks got big so fast and they are loving the pond!



I attempted to make my dads homemade soup and although it looks just like his, it did not taste just like his, luckily my dad is sweet enough and made me a pot on Sunday :)


I found these little gems at our local grocery store and they are beyond addictive. I bought two bags and devoured both of them this weekend. They are sweet and tart and whoever invented these is a genius...so yummy!


As usual the weekend went by too fast, but this week is busy so hopefully it goes by just as quickly.

P.S. I made our Disney Dining reservations this morning - post coming soon!
