Beach Bum

June 23, 2014 | blogging, family, Travel

Hey guys! I may be a bit MIA around the next few days, because I am currently at the BEACH! We are only here three nights and will be back Wednesday, but still a getaway non the less. Every summer we go to Destin because Bobby has to take continuing legal education classes to keep his law license. Every year I have to suffer through a few days in the sun. Smile

We are staying where we stayed last year, which is an AMAZING adults only bed and breakfast right on the beach. This place will seriously spoil you. It’s going to be tough going anywhere else once we have kids coming along! I wrote a posts about Henderson Park Inn last year if you want to check it out.

Henderson Park Inn

This year my parents are tagging along, they haven’t been with us since 2011, so we are having fun hanging out with them a bit before our vacations involve a baby. So crazy to think of how soon that will be! Anyway, I am off to enjoy some time unplugged (no wifi at the bed and breakfast) but I will be posting pics to Instagram so you can follow me there. See ya in a couple of days!

QOTD: Do you go someone every year for vacation that is “tradition” or do you try out new places each time?

    We have some favorite places to stay in Destin but this year we decided to rent our own house with a pool. Since it was 5 adults and 3 kids, it was a good fit. Once we had kids, we started taking my mom and my husband’s parents to Destin with us, it is a fun way to vacation and spend time together as a family. Also, built in babysitters for a date night!

    Sounds fun! We’ve never stayed at the same place twice, mainly because we’re always doing new things every time we go on vacation. 😉

We originally got it as a solution for rainy or co We originally got it as a solution for rainy or cold days during the holidays, but it quickly became part of our weekly routine — especially for family game night or those super hot afternoons when going outside just isn’t an option.

What I love most? It gets us laughing, playing, and moving together. The games are active and designed with real child development principles in mind — which means I feel good about the screen time. And when she plays solo? I know she’s safe — no online strangers, just fun, movement, and confidence-building play.

Whether we’re all competing or she’s playing on her own, @nexplayground has become one of our favorite ways to stay active and connected as a family.

This little recipe is one my mom used to make with me, and now I get to pass it down to my daughter. It’s messy, a little imperfect… and absolutely delicious. 💙

All you need is:

🍦  Blue Ribbon Classics Cookies ‘n Cream frozen hand-held treats

🍫 Whipped cream

🍪 Crushed chocolate sandwich cookies

➡️ Layer, freeze, slice, and enjoy!

Affordable. Easy. And honestly? A sweet memory in the making.
