Favorite Things recap

I have been so late in posting about my great package from my Favorite Things Swap partner. Julie over at Firefly Lane sent the greatest assort of treats, both for me and the kids. Cute stationery, a handmade bag from her own collection, wonderful fudgy goodness, and kit for homemade slushies. All of this from a girl with a little newborn at home...thank you Julie!

A Date Night Concert

We saw a great show last night....the Avett Brothers. They are a local NC band just on the cusp of getting huge. My husband has seen them before, but this was my first show...they were great....lots of energy. It is hard to put them in a musical category...they have a guitar, banjo, bass & cello all jamming on stage. Alternative Country Rock or maybe Grunge Bluegrass? We went with friends, and had a great time. I would love to see them again. Here is a clip of one of my favorites...

Vacation

It is that time of year again....we will be making a grand, sweeping trip of the southeast....tomorrow we leave for Hot Springs, Ark., stopping in Nashville to spend the night along the way. We will spend the 4th of July weekend in Hot Springs with my parents and their oldest friends...we hope to see several aunts, uncles and cousins too.

Then down to Louisiana where the kids will get a little alone time with their grandparents while Kevin & I head to Mazatlan, Mexico to celebrate our 10th anniversary!

When we return, we have another 2 day car trip back to NC. WOW! I am exhausted just typing about it....I am off to throw more clothes in the wash & pack!

I hope everyone enjoys their holiday!
