Weekending | Florida Edition

Happy Monday friends! I’m not quite done with the Ireland recaps, but taking a pause since Gary and I made a quick weekend trip down to Florida to see my family. We had a crazy hard time getting there on Thursday and what was supposed to be us arriving late Thursday ended up us arriving at 6 am on Friday – but even with that hiccup we had a relaxing weekend enjoying the sunshine! 

We planned this trip with one thing in my mind- seeing my grandmothers. I can’t tell you how emotional I was hearing both of their wishes for me and our baby. It’s so hard to see them getting older and more fragile, but when they smile and talk to me, it’s more than I could have hoped for. I have no doubt baby girl knew that her great-grandmothers were giving her kisses! I will treasure these pictures forever!

We did a lot of shopping, enjoyed some Vitamin D & were spoiled with breakfasts and dinners that only parents know how to treat you to! We left Boston just in time for hopefully the last snow storm of the season! 

I was finally able to use a gift card to Pea in the Pod and picked up these tops and this brand of jeans! I actually have two pairs of jeans by the Indigo Blue “brand” and they are so comfortable and a great price point at under $40! Will it be appropriate to wear maternity jeans even when I’m not pregnant…they are just too comfortable! I could live in these tops and I went one size up to take me through the summer! 

It’s hard to believe that my time to Florida was about a year before this trip, but I’m hoping  it wont be another year before the next one! The recap is unfortunately short and sweet, just like the weekend itself! Hoping you have a wonderful start to the week everyone! Back with more Ireland on Wednesday!

    Aw I am so glad you got some great time with your grandmothers! My maternal grandmother died 22 years ago this week and I cherish every precious moment I got with her. I hope your sweet little girl will get to make some memories with them too! Glad you got some sunchine and a break from winter. Have a great week!

    What a fun weekend visiting family, and getting away from the cold! The pictures of you with your grandmothers are precious!!! It took me a long time to be ok with regular jeans again. Like just a few months ago lol. All jeans should be comfortable like maternity ones! Hope you have a great week!

    What a great trip! I had to laugh at your saying would it be wrong to wear maternity jeans when you're not pregnant. I swear, I see so many cute maternity things in Target and I always wonder if anyone would "really know" they were maternity if I wore them…LOL I say GO FOR IT! XO

    AW! That's so nice that you were able to see and spend some quality time with your grandmothers. I can only imagine how happy they are for the newest edition! Oh, girl, I loved my Asos maternity jeans so much that I tried to wear them as much as I could after having Aviah. I actually tried wearing them a few weeks ago, but they don't fit well anymore 🙁 Lol. It's always so good when you can find a great pair of comfy maturity jeans that you'd even want to wear post baby. I love the outfit with the red top and white jeans, so cute! Thanks for sharing, beautiful, and I hope you have a great week ahead!

    XO,

    Hooray for a trip to Florida to see family! We just took the girls to see their only great grandmother and it was such a special experience! I know that it’s going to be extra special when you take your little girl to meet her great grandmothers after she’s made her entrance into the world!

    You are the cutest! And I know that grandmother time is the best! I so wish my Nonny could be here when we start a family – grandmothers are just the most special! I had a great-grandmother until I was 12 and she was so special to me! Glad you had such a wonderful time in Florida!
