Garden Beauty

The previous owner was quite the gardener! She planted the most wonderful flowers all around the house. I am so grateful for all of the established plants and gardens. The Hydrangeas bloom all season long, providing me fresh house flowers throughout the summer. The jasmine growing along the fence permeates the entire property and smells absolutely divine. Take a look..... Major selling point when I purchased.

A Christening, A Cookout, and Mother's Day Brunch

I headed to Raleigh this weekend for my nephew's christening. Saturday night my sister had a cookout for everyone. We had lots of awesome food and drinks. It was great catching up with Rob's family and their friends.

Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day. My parents met me in Raleigh for the weekend. My mom is the most amazing person I know and I am so glad I got to spend mothers day honoring her. Bethany celebrated her first Mother's Day this year. Watching Bethany take on motherhood has been so impressive. I have learned how awesome and difficult being a mom can be. These women are true inspirations!

Lee was christened at Christ Church in Raleigh. I have been given the awesome responsibility and honor of being not only his aunt, but his godmother. It was such a special service and I feel so blessed that I get to be there to watch him grow up.
