Sewing Projects
Because I need another hobby...... I don't have time to keep up on the hobbies I've already committed too! But I started sewing a little :) I really love doing it, and am slowly getting better at it. Picking out fabric is SO fun! My skill set isn't that broad yet.....I have made burp clothes, blankets, bibs, and pacifier clips so far. A bit baby oriented :)

Florida for my 30th!
LAST winter when it was so horrible and freezing we decided we are going somewhere warmer for the next winter; which timed up perfectly for my 30th birthday! So we, with my parents, all went to Naples, FL for an entire week. We rented a house, which was amazing to have so much space, our own pool, and a full kitchen.
The weather wasn't over the top warm, we wore a lot of pants still. But it certainly was way warmer than it was in Michigan and we were able to do a lot of outdoor things. It was such a nice change of pace than home; good to just get away and spend time together without the many distractions that are home!
This is what flying with 2 kids looks like! The kids did pretty well during the flights for the most part. Leah had a hard time falling asleep by me, and when she was awake it was difficult to entertain her....
Celebrating my 30th birthday!!
Taking a nap in the stroller on the beach
We had one 80 degree day, and spent the entire day between the beach and at our pool.
Oh I miss eating outside!
Matching dresses my mom made the girls :)
It was fun playing games at night when the girls went to bed!
We went to Sanibel Island for a day, it was really cool checking out the nature preserve and then a quick stop at the beach there to collect some shells. The kids were DONE though by the time we got to the beach so it was quick.
An awesome burger/hotdog place we found (Brooks Burgers)! It was SO good. I had a hotdog that had pulled pork on top!
It was such a fun week. I could have stayed for a few more days! If we do it again we would just go a little later in the year for the potential for warmer weather; but it was so special going over my birthday :)
