In AJ Date Night Little Things Maddie Jane Molly

April Little Things


Let's look at a big hodge podge of pictures from my phone that never made it to the blog. Up there .. Maddie girl is eating naked after a verryyy messy spaghetti night. 


And sporting some fake nails and a tattoo from Auntie Kell after a good bath! 


Random little dinner date with the Meisers. These girls are going to be trouble growing up together! They are going to the same school next year, and we are all SO excited! 


One morning I was determined to not only go get an acai bowl (been craving those since California) but I was also determined to walk the four plus miles there and back. I started my walk and about half a mile in it started raining.. 


Did we turn around? NOPE. I just started running and oh my goodness.. it felt SO GOOD! I ended up running all the way there.. 


And well of course there was nothing left to do but to run back after we ate! Over 4 miles I ran.. at 7 months pregnant.. after not running in like a year. It felt SO GOOD. Holy endorphins. 


I could barely walk for three days after that.. but I'll never forget that rainy morning with AJ and Maddie running with me in the rain with that big ole belly. 


We put our dry cleaning in a bag and it is picked up each week and delivered back to our house. Somehow AJ's pajama pants got in there and they came back nice and starched.. ha! 


Random nap time snuggles with my girl... 


Masters Sunday curled up on our couch with my newly hung lights and ferns. 


Molly's bark box this month was Shakespeare theme and I haven't laughed so much in my life at this pup! The creators of that box are good.


Man parenting is sooo much easier when it is nice outside. Every single day we are out in the backyard.. a lot of times a ton of other neighborhood kids are there too keeping MJ entertained! 


She put these boots on and declared herself a "farmer mermaid" -- she also says she is going to grow pineapples, strawberries and ice cream on her farm, haha! 


We celebrated AJ's birthday a day early since we had a date on his actual birthday :) 


With this chickadee insisting on braids so often, my braid game has gotten goooood! 


Ready for date night with Age and sporting some Grace Ann Designs earrings! 


Mocktail for me and bourbon for Age. Love this man of mine.. he is so easy to celebrate.



Pamela's brother was in from Connecticut, so alllll the Pryor cousins got to play! So many kiddos that look alike, ha! 



Maddie Jane had a precious little egg hunt at her school. I am so thankful I can work part time and be able to do these things with her! 


This is her bestie Sage.. according to their teachers, they are inseparable! 


Random pregnancy pic.. I think around 28 weeks. He is BIG and I seriously don't know where it's going to all go.. 


It got up in the 80s, so I snagged this little pool for our backyard. Maddie Jane and Clara play allllll the time. And let me tell ya.. two is so much easier than one. 



We had to move the ferns to big pots on the ground because they were getting so stinkin huge. And I rescued these little hanging baskets from the clearance aisle at Lowes. Happy to report they are alive and thriving! 


Also added one more chair, a pouf, and some succulents/aloe to the deck. I LOVE being a plant lady during the summer.


Maddie Jane was playing dress up over at Clara's house and got this pic from the sitter while I was out running errands. Have I mentioned how much I love our neighborhood?? 


Right before I took this pic Maddie Jane said, "Mommy sit down.. we need to talk!" This girl neverrrr stops talking and I never know what is going to come out of her mouth! 


Naps with baby brother! 


Another date night! (Guys date your spouse.. it is SO important and I truly believe one of the most important parts to a happy marriage!) Also. Earrings! Check out Grace Ann Designs HERE.


My desires for date night: Hobby Lobby and Krispy Kreme. And in between the two I just Yelped a random sushi place. Which turned out soooo good. Can't wait to go back and get the real deal! 



Next morning with Farmer Maddie Mermaid.. just soaking up the absolutely perfect weather! 


I had to capture this rare occurrence where we were out to lunch and she sat and colored quietly... ha! 


And ending this big ole April post with my favorite pup. Can you tell we are practically living outside!? Enjoying every single minute of this mild North Carolina spring before it's in the 90s!

In Date Night Easter Gigi Maddie Jane Weekends

Easter Weekend at Gigi's


After what should have been a 4 hour drive to Mom's house in Beuufort, SC... we arrived close to midnight after 7+ hours of driving! But that didn't stop this girl from getting up at the crack of dawn, putting her bathing suit on, and declaring it beach time. 


And I had work to do and earrings to make.. so I convinced her to play at home for a bit and then we headed downtown Beaufort to meet up with Mom and AJ who were both working at mom's office. 


Maddie Jane got to see and brush a horse and did some exploring with Gigi. After lunch we headed to the playground and survived some INSANE wind. 


Like 50 mile an hour wind. It was CRAY.


That night we had a date at a suuuuper fun place called 10 Market. Mom gave AJ a gift certificate for his birthday and the dining experience was seriously top 5 coolest things we've ever done. 


Quick pic with Maddie Jane and baby brother before leaving. Thank you for the gift certificate AND babysitting Gigi! 


This restaurant only seats 12 people and only serves one meal each Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. Each weekend has a theme and the menu is literally created a few days in advanced based on the freshest ingredients possible. (Thanks to the chef for altering my plate to not include anything raw and making me a fun mocktail!)


It was so awesome to be able to watch the chef in his element.. seeing all the layering of flavors that went into every dish. And it was cool to talk to all the different types of people at the table.



The next time we are in Beufort (and I'm not pregnant) we will be going back! TOP notch service, food, environment .. if you are close to the area... GO!


The next morning AJ and Chip went fishing, so we went shopping! We walked around the cute shops and ended up at the playground again. 



Still pretty windy and chilly, but we survived! 


Maddie Jane was still absolutely insistent on the beach, so we bundled up and went! While mom and I were bundled under towels with our teeth chattering, Maddie Jane was happily sporting her swim suit without a care in the world. 


I kept asking her if she was sure she didn't want her clothes but.. nope! She was happy as a clam.





Meanwhile Molly did a lot of this... spoiled pup.


On Sunday morning we had planned to go to the waterfront Easter service, but with the still crazy winds and cold temps and only sleeveless dresses with us..we opted to stay home.


Maddie Jane dyed eggs for the first time and loved decorating them! And we did a little egg hunt inside for her.



And after lunch, we packed up the car and headed back to North Carolina. This was Maddie Jane before we even got out of Mom's driveway! This was an impromptu little trip, but it was sooo nice to be able to spend the holiday with family :)
