🍕𝗞𝗶𝗱-𝗙𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆 𝗖𝗛𝗦 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁: one of my most requested recommendations is family-friendly spots in Charleston. Harper and I love to go grab pizza and charcuterie at @coastalcrust. They have a gorgeous outdoor space with a fire pit and playground. It’s a casual and fun atmosphere and the food is delicious. After we eat, we usually head to the Old Village Historic District across the street and go on a nice walk. What’s your favorite restaurant in Charleston to take your kiddos? #explorecharleston

❤️ Tonight we experienced Charleston’s first ever 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗲𝗴𝗲𝗹𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 at the @gaillardcenter It was such a fun and memorable evening. Swipe to see a glimpse into the magic. The Spiegeltent (“mirror tent”) is a unique and utterly enchanting venue with deep russet colored mahagony, plush surroundings, a sultry vibe and intimate setting. We enjoyed a performance called 𝘾𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙠𝙚𝙙 𝙉𝙪𝙩𝙨! It was so much fun. The show featured acrobats, aerialists, jugglers, and a ferocious lion in Spandex 😆. Don’t miss this variety & comedy spectacular staring Vegas legends Matt and Heidi Morgan. The show will be at the @gaillardcenter until December 23rd. #explorecharleston

❤️ Today was so good for my soul. We went to see 𝘼 𝘾𝙝𝙧𝙞𝙨𝙩𝙢𝙖𝙨 𝘾𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙡 at The Historic Dock Street Theatre and it was spectacular. The sets, the costumes, the theatre, the actors…everything was so magical. The @charlestonstage show runs through December 21st. Y’all have to go see it! At the end, the cast received a standing ovation and the entire audience sang along to “𝘞𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘩 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘢 𝘔𝘦𝘳𝘳𝘺 𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘮𝘢𝘴!” When I walked out of the theatre, I had a renewed excitement for the holiday season. It was such an important reminder of what matters most: family, friends and human connection. Thankful Katie & Harper could join me tonight.

Life has been insanely stressful lately. Have y’all ever been so stressed that you wake up and almost feel like you are in a complete state of panic? Yep, that’s my level right now. But on a positive note, I received these sweet ornaments in the mail and they made me smile and get excited about the holidays. Thank you @theartofmegs! They are absolutely perfect. ❤️

🐡Y’all have to check out @rachelrsimon. She’s a fellow South Carolinian and had the most beautiful home decor. I saw this room she designed and fell in love. These gorgeous vintage fish prints are from @urbangardenprints. The best part? Urban Garden prints was founded by sisters, Taylor and Marty, here in Charleston, SC! Check them out.🐟🐠 #southernliving

🌀𝗛𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗻𝗲 𝗜𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲: Today I’m going live at 11am to discuss the aftermath of #hurricaneian. The question I’ve been asked the most is, “won’t their insurance cover everything?” After talking to many locals on #fortmyersbeach I learned that a lot of people aren’t covered properly. I called Erik after a few hours being down there and told him to call our insurance guy and update our policy immediately. Between stories of FEMA and insurance rejections, I knew I wanted to educate myself more. @jgriffinmorrow is going to join me on the live to answer some specific insurance questions that I think could really help all of you. It was heartbreaking to see the destruction firsthand and to know these people truly lost everything. Debris littered the beaches, smashed boats were everywhere and buildings I knew & loved had vanished completely. When you see the devastation, you really wonder how will they ever rebuild? And how long will that take? Unfortunately on FMB I think it could take years. Come join us for the Facebook Live and I’m happy to answer any questions y’all have. ❤️

💔 Things feel so heavy. So much damage, loss, destruction and devastation in Southwest Florida. As a society we are numb. Numb to the lives that were lost in Hurricane Ian. Numb to the suffering that community is experiencing. Ian killed hundreds, if not thousands of Floridians, but it kind of feels like people aren’t even phased. While most of us will see a single death as a tragedy, we can struggle to have the same response to large-scale loss of life. Too often, the deaths of many simply become a statistic. Y’all this could have been us. If this storm hit Charleston, it would have wiped downtown off the map. I only lived in Ft. Myers Beach for a few years but the people I met down there touched my life. They are fun, care-free, loving, and truly live their lives to the fullest. The community is colorful, creative, and they love a good cocktail (with a floater and splash of live music). To all of the people that donated to @captjamiehough, thank you! He’s doing an incredible job feeding folks in #fortmyers. To those that bought supplies, you literally fed, clothed, and comforted people that have lost everything. No home. No car. No clothes. No belongings. No hope. Thank you for being a beacon of light in a very dark time. Thank you @victoriavesce for delivering all the supplies. This is a photo of the Sanibel Lighthouse. One of the only things left standing on the island. It is God’s reminder that He will guide us with light in our darkest times. ❤️ Over the next week I’m going to share opportunities to help these folks in #fortmyersbeach. If anyone would like to help please let me know. ❤️

👩🏼‍🌾 Saturday mornings at 𝗣𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗥𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗮𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿’𝘀 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁 are the best! @townofportroyal

🐬 An afternoon at 𝗛𝗲𝗻𝗿𝘆 𝗖. 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗪𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗻𝘁 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝗸 is good for the soul. ⁣
⚓️ The highlight of the day was our cruise on @lowcotiki with Adrienne @thelowcountryedit and Chris.
🦪 Dinner at @breakwaterbeaufort . They have the absolute best fried oysters. My filet was phenomenal. And I highly recommend the Mango Caipirinha. ⁣
🌅 Make sure you take time to watch the sunset, it’s pure magic.

🌅 The calm before the storm. Have any of y’all lived in an area when it was hit by a major hurricane? Anyone in SC during Hurricane Hugo? I lived in Ft. Lauderdale during Hurricane Andrew and I can still remember it as though it was yesterday. It was pretty damn scary. Now when there is a hurricane coming, I don’t hesitate to evacuate. Tonight I witnessed the calm before the storm. Harper and I were killing 30 minutes before his prescription was ready to pickup and we were lucky enough to watch the most insane sunset. The colors were so vivid. It was truly amazing. Isn’t it crazy how nature reveals to us God’s beauty, glory, power, wisdom, presence and creativity? Praying for Southwest Florida. The lady forecast I watched said #hurricaneian could hit category 4 and directly hit Fort Myers area. That type of storm can be absolutely devastating. Praying everyone evacuates and stays safe.

🧁This week we celebrate Harper’s birthday. Gosh it’s tough when you realize how fast our babies grow up. Being a mother to this precious boy and helping him discover the world is one of the greatest experiences in my life. I’m so blessed to have a son that’s so brilliant and so sweet. He has changed my life in a big way and the best way possible. I adore his dimples, I cherish his hugs, I admire his heart. Harper Michael Huffman, I love you now and forever. Happy birthday!!!

❤️ 𝗕𝗲𝗮𝘂𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁 𝗟𝗼𝘃𝗲: this weekend I had the opportunity to stay at @theemeraldbeaufort , Beaufort’s 1st self serving boutique stay. You won't find any front desks, concierge lines or key exchanges. 🔑 The entire hotel experience is right at guests' fingertips. The location is incredible, the rooms were gorgeous, and the bed was 𝘀𝗼 comfortable. Highly recommend this spot if you’re coming to #BeaufortSC. @visit_beaufortsc
