Yard Day

April 11, 2010 | Uncategorized

Today has been a really good day! Well, this weekend has been a really good weekend! The weather has been sunny and upper 70’s, just beautiful.
Yesterday I ran and read in the backyard, and I told you all Bobby was going to shoot a commerical. Well I was wrong, he was wrong. It was actually a print ad. But, what was cool, we assumed it would be a bunch of people, it was just him and this one other girl. I will try and figure out where this is going and get a copy. Blue cross Blue shield of MS is part sponser of let’s go walkin’ Mississippi, so maybe something for them? Who knows!

So after that I met Bobby at Home Depot and we got some flowers and plants. Bobby wanted to plant some veggies in pots and I wanted some flowers. Then we went to eat at this cute littl Greek place. It was so beautiful, we ate outside. I love eating outside so I was happy. The food is bad for you but the portions are smal so I didn’t feel too bad. I had a ham and cheese pita and we split some fries, and I got water.

Then we went grocery shopping and that was our exciting Saturday!
This morning I got up and ran a good tempo run. I ran 3 miles like my last tempo, but I ran my first mile 45 seconds faster than last time and still managed to hang onto my 9 minute mile. I was running 8:30 a good amount of the mile, but that mile has two big hills. Maybe I should pick a different route for my tempo runs ha. then I ran my 3rd mile in 11:00 just like last time, so I felt good about that.
When came home Bobby was up and we started to work in the yard. The pollen has been so bad and our patio gets black and yellow accumulating dirt and grime from the winter. Every spring we use the hose nozzle thing you attach an kind of “pressure wash” the patio and it looks much better!
Bobby started planting

I was supervising

So was Bella

We left to get some pine straw, more veggies…and took a detour so i could get my first snowball of the season! Wedding cake with extra juice, YUM!

We got back to work in the yard. Front yard before pine straw

and after. Much better!

SO basically I will probably be very sore tomorrow between my run, and all the bending over in the yard, good! I love sitting on the back patio so i am happy it’s all clean now. I will have to take pictures of everything and post this week!

Hope everyone has a great Sunday afternoon!

I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vac I’m not suggesting you go into debt to go on vacation. But I am suggesting you remember that time is something you can’t get back, and memories are something that will stay with you longer than things. 🚢 

As we enter the holiday season, maybe it’s time to consider that long overdue vacation instead of quite so many things under the tree? Maybe a few less items for some time away to rest and recharge with loved ones?

@disneycruiseline is great for just that because they truly have something for everyone, from babies, kids, to adults. The cruise we just went on included beach time, pool time, an obstacle course, lots of eating, basketball, foosball, ping-pong, movie, watching, scavenger hunt finding, pirates (the nice kind!), ice cream, and so much more. ✨🫶🏻 

Always happy to answer questions about the most magical cruise line around!

🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacati 🚢 A vacation should actually feel like a vacation right? I hear too many people coming home from vacations with their kids that say they are exhausted and now need another vacation from their vacation. 

This is why I love @disneycruiseline. 💖

They have kids clubs included in the price of your cruise fare* that are open for a lot of the day and late into the night. This allows for adults only time at the adults only pool, restaurants, bars, and nightclubs. Not to mention, the kids absolutely have a blast. Mine never wanted to leave! 🫶🏻

it’s a win-win situation in my book. They get to go have some fun with other kids, and I get to relax and recharge on my vacation, and then we can also spend quality family time together as well! ✨

Send this to someone you are trying to convince to go on a DCL cruise with you! 😏

*included in cruise fare for kids clubs, not the nursery which is an extra charge.

We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our We absolutely love Orange Beach, it’s one of our favorite places to visit and feels like home. 🫶🏻

There are so many great businesses with employees that make you feel like family. Here are a few we visited over fall break. Be sure to save this for your next visit to the beach! Have you been to any of these places? 🍊 

@coastalorangebeach: Not only a beautiful restaurant right on the gulf with amazing food, drinks, and servers, but also a really great store with amazing merch! We found some great stuff. If you go to the restaurant, ask for J-Mac to be your server and make sure to get a bushwhacker with a peanut butter floater! 😋 

@florabama_olerivergrill : Right on the bama/Florida line, this fun restaurant boasts beautiful sunsets, a fun cocktail menu (the key lime colada was amazing!) and you can even rent pontoon boats and jet skis from the marina, or take a dolphin cruise! 🐬 

@theorangebeachstore : I’ve passed this store 100 times but this was my first time inside and now I’m mad that I have been missing out all this time. They have a beautiful selection of really nice souvenirs from great brand names you already know and love. Great quality clothing and other things like blankets, cup, hats, and candles. I shopped forever! 

@fbyachtclub_ : The Flora Bama Yacht club is also right on the state line on the bay side and has fun live music, a really nice menu including crab claws, hummus, chicken pasta, and key lime pie. Service was great and we loved the live music. 

Thank y’all for having us! ✨

Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of Holiday shopping days with my mini me are some of my favorite traditions. ✨☕ 
From grabbing coffee to wandering through the decorated stores, there’s just something magical about this season. We laughed, made memories, and even managed to cross a few names off our list. 🎄 (ad) 

One of our favorite stops was Reeds at West Town Mall, where I spotted the new Victorinox Air Pro — a watch that’s Swiss-made with incredible craftsmanship, a stainless steel case, shock + water resistance, and even the ability to track 3 time zones at once. 🙌 It’s modern, timeless, and such a meaningful find for the men in my life.

The best part? Ending the day with full shopping bags, full hearts, and a gift I know will be worn and treasured for years. 💫 @victorinoxnorthamerica
