🌮 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?

🏰 Disney is our happy place. After having our annual passes for a year, we learned lots of tips & tricks. I put together a Disney Survival Kit with everything we need for a day at the park. 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

🙌🏻 Guess who followed up on her New Year’s resolution and posted a blog today?! #damnitfeelsgoodtobeagangsta. Also, barefootdreams makes the most insanely comfortable clothing on the planet. Folks, I’m on a freaking 2020 roll (not really... I did not consume water today but I digress...). I posted 21 of my favorite travel products on my blog (link is in my bio) and these are good ones y’all! At the end of the month I’m going to do a packing video. I’m a little looney tunes when it comes to packing but I think you’ll get a kick out of it. I need to put together a few more travel gift guides too. I need your help:
1️⃣ What’s the best inexpensive travel gift?
2️⃣ What’s the one travel item you splurge on?

🎉 I have 5 New Year’s resolutions. I normally don’t share them because I suck at following through. But maybe 2020 will be my year:
1️⃣ Travel more. This takes a lot of planning and budgeting. But I want to go somewhere new once per month.
2️⃣ Drink water 💦. And no, not “more water” because right now the only water I drink is mixed in my lemonade or sweet tea. Y’all I legit hate water. I’d rather take warm shots of tequila. This one is going to be tough.
3️⃣ Say no more often. I can’t do it all and I’m tired of trying to.
4️⃣ Dave Ramsey budgeting. Gotta stick to this plan and get my finances aligned with my long-term goals.
5️⃣ BLOG! I want to post 2-3 times per week. And I really want to create valuable content. Stuff that helps you. I don’t want to post just to post. I want to be very deliberate about what I share and how it will make my readers lives easier. 🎉 For the past week, I worked my booty off and finally got my blog perfected. It’s definitely been a labor of love. Y’all, the amount of time that goes into putting together a legit blog post is insane! 2am bedtime is my new norm. But I can honestly say I’m proud of myself. I think it looks beautiful, it’s easy to navigate, and I’m sharing posts that I’m proud of. If you get a chance please check it out (link is in my bio) and let me know what you think! #charlestonblonde #charlestonblogger

As most of y’all know, I usually paint most of the rooms in my house white. Then I add colorful art & furniture into the space. I’ve tried a ton of different white paint colors. I narrowed it down to my absolute favorite hues. Check out the link in my bio to see all of my favorites. Do y’all have a favorite interior paint color? I’d love to hear it. #charlestonblogger #mysouthernliving

Not gonna lie, sometimes I indirectly tell off Erik through Harper. “Sorry Harper, Mommy cant play right now because she is the only person in this house that cleans!” 🤣😂🤣 Any of y’all do this too? I can’t help it. This year we decided to invest in a weekly cleaning service. Sometimes I feel guilty but today when I came home from work to a clean home, all that guilt went right out the window. Now I might actually enjoy my weekend. I’m freaking pumped. Does anyone else use a cleaning service? Has it changed your life? #bestmoneyspent #charlestonsc

2020 is the beginning of anything you want. This year taught me that putting yourself first isn’t selfish, it’s necessary. And if there’s one piece of advice I can give you, it’s this...when there’s something you really want, fight for it. Don’t give up. Put up a freaking fight for what you love. Fight for what’s right. Fight for what you believe in.

Haven’t purchased half of the gifts I need to get. I’m about to head to the mall with Harper (Lord help me) and attempt to get my shit together. Thinking about scrapping Christmas dinner and hitting up honeybaked_ham. 😬 #merrychristmasyafilthyanimal

One question I frequently get asked is why I decided to switch from marble to quartz countertops in our old kitchen. I finally took some time and did a blog post on the main differences and what ultimately made me make the change. Blog post link is in my bio. What do y’all prefer quartz or marble?! Thank you pacificshorestones for helping me with the process!
