Cabo San Lucas

Good Morning!  Our Spring Break has now come and gone and it was a great one!  After a rough two weeks leading up to it, we were more than ever really for a vacation.  Grant and I will celebrate 15 years on the 8th of April, so we decided to take a quick trip to Cabo, while the kids spent some time in Shiner with grandparents.  Cabo was amazing and we had the best time!  Although I love taking our kids and they are getting really easy to travel with, it was a nice change to not be in charge of anyone...well for the most part ;)

We didn't do any major excursions, but did a lot of relaxing and eating.  On two occasions I had to wake Grant for really loud snoring on the beach...zzzzzz.  The resort we stayed at was Villa La Estancia and it was perfect.  It was a little ways from all the Spring Break crowd, so it was thankfully fairly quiet.

It was overcast one day, so we walked into town and spent a large part of the day there doing more eating and shopping.  We strolled around the marina before heading back to our resort.

Our last night in Cabo, we took a cab and had dinner at Hacienda Cocina y Cantina.  It was highly recommended to us by a friend and the food and views were amazing!  And again on this trip, I brought my nice, big camera but didn't take it out of my bag.  So all these pictures are from my phone.  The two pictures above are from my seat at the dinner table.

These last two pictures are at our resort.  The first one was down by the pool as it was getting dark and this last one was the view from our balcony as the sun was setting.  Such a beautiful place.

New Favorite Dress

 photo 66c29a1c-2601-4192-81d5-fa91a07e52e3_zpso6ac4gzi.jpg

Happy Friday!  Today, I'm keeping it short and sweet, as my kids are still on Spring Break this week and I'm still washing clothes from our trip earlier in the week :)  While I was unpacking clothes, it reminded me about this adorable dress I bought for our trip and I loved it so much, I wanted to share with you all.  It's priced under $50 and comes in four colors.  I bought black, but thinking about ordering it in pink too.  I rolled it in my suitcase and pulled it right out and threw it on.  It's super cute with a long necklace or a statement necklace.  Add a denim jacket, cardigan or scarf to change the look.  Wear it with flip flops or dress it up with heels.  So many options with this one!  As for sizing, it's true to size...I usually wear a 4-6 and I ordered a small.

Anyways, if you're looking for a new LBD that is cute, comfy, affordable and very versatile (lots of adjectives for this one :) I think you'll love this one!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Home Tour Update


Our Home

Good Morning!  Things have been a little slow around here lately, as Grant and I were able to sneak away on a little getaway.  We will be celebrating 15 years next month and decided to do an early trip while the kids were out on Spring Break.  We had an amazing time and I will share more soon.

You may or may not have noticed that I did a little updated on some of my home tour pictures.  I previously had it in a flipbook, which I really liked too, but a little more difficult to update and change as my home décor and projects changed, which happens a lot.  Even as I look at these pictures, I see a few updates I've made already :)  And we have finally started to price tile for our kitchen backsplash, so I'm hoping after spring break we can get rolling on that.

Anyways, I finally decided to just make my home tour a traditional post.  You can scroll down to take a little tour of most rooms in our home...
