❤️ Our family fell in LOVE with Amelia Island.

❤️ Our family fell in LOVE with Amelia Island. It was a quick 3.5 hour drive from Charleston and it was one of the best weekends we have had as a family in a very long time. 🏫 The ameliaschoolhouseinn was perfect in every way. The local shrimp 🍤 at all of the restaurants were the best we’ve ever had (and y’all know I eat all the dang time), & the people were sweet, southern, & down to Earth. Tomorrow I’m sharing a blog post about our stay. Y’all it was seriously SO affordable (my fresh blackened shrimp bowl at timotisseafoodshak was $10.99) and such a fast and easy trip from Charleston. I cannot recommend it enough!! Thank you visitameliaisland for helping us setup the absolute perfect itinerary. #ameliaisland #amelialove

🙌🏻 Just posted the longest & most helpful blog EVER. Erik read it and said, “wow that was a meaty post.” 🤣 It is the ultimate guide on bookshelf styling. I reached out to my favorite designers and got their tips and tricks to share. I also found all of my favorite ginger jars & styling books and linked them for you. Plus, I included all of the inspiration photos that I used for our bookshelves. Y’all take a look 👀 and let me know what you think. Is this kind of post helpful? Would you like to see more like it? What do you want to see next? I appreciate your input so much. #styledshelves #charlestonblonde

I am so in ❤️ with this dress by emilymccarthy

I am so in ❤️ with this dress by emilymccarthyshoppe. This is my “did you loose weight?” dress. Every time I wear it, people think I look tiny. I’m not skinny y’all, it is just the most insanely flattering cut I’ve ever worn. I’m a size medium, always have been and always will be. But for once the dress is cut so the tie goes around my waist and not my hips. It also has the cutest little poofs at the shoulder. For more photos of this dress, check out my blog post (link in bio). It also comes in Kelly Green & orange. #charlestonblonde

🌅 Y’all the weather in Charleston today was insanely perfect. Who enjoyed it? What did y’all do? We ate lunch outside at martinsbbq on James Island. Then we went to the apseyphoto art show in North Charleston. Then we just finished the day on Sullivan’s Island watching the sunset. Harper brought his remote control car, drove it through the ocean, and somehow it still works. Wanted to share the sunset with you, it sure was special. Thinking about brunch tomorrow. Where should we go?

🌮 If it we’re up to me, I’d eat tacos (and Thai food) every single day. I found the BEST taco recipe ever. It used a total of like 6 ingredients and was so easy to prep. Took like ten mins. Then the meat cooked in the Crockpot for 6 hours and it was insanely tender & tasty. I posted the recipe on my blog (link in bio) and have a quick video of us making it too. Seriously, try it!! We made a serious effort to cook more at home and it’s really helping save money. What’s your favorite cheap meal to make?

Make sure you check it out. (Link is in my bio). What’s the one thing you always take with you into the Disney parks? Are y’all #teambackpack? It’s the only type of bag I carry into the parks now.

This past Christmas we decided to invest in a family experience rather than Christmas gifts. BEST choice EVER. Seriously y’all, consider doing this with your kids. You won’t regret it. In November, we took a family trip to Maui and had an absolute blast! We spent almost a week in Hawaiian paradise eating local food and soaking up the views. As promised, I put together a Maui travel guide! The link is in my bio. Have a favorite spot in Maui? Let me know! We are already planning our next trip. Big thank you to tracydill for making our experience one we will never forget! #mauitravel

I’ve been MIA this week. Had a bit of a health scare. I’m still not really sure what it is but after bloodwork, chest x-rays, and an EKG, I’m still not sure what’s going on. I’m going to a pulmonologist and getting a mammogram next week so hopefully I get some answers. I’m laying low all weekend. About to enjoy hot tea, comfy pajamas, and a good John Grisham book. Also this adorable outfit was from mulberryandking. Y’all make sure to check out their new store in Charleston. Congratulations ladies.

When I got married 11 years ago, the Charleston Visitors Bureau was promoting Charleston’s value as a wedding destination. It’s safe to say they succeeded! The Holy City is consistently ranked among top wedding destinations in the U.S., and with gorgeous backdrops from downtown to Lowcountry plantations draped in moss, it’s no surprise why. I worked with lindsaybishopevents to compile a list of the Top 5 Charleston wedding venues. Make sure to check it out (link in bio). Did you get married in Charleston? What was your venue? Do you have a favorite local venue? Show them love in the comments below! #charlestonweddings #charleston 📷 | rachelredphotography
