A Day Trip!

I’ve been feeling a little overwhelmed with all that I’ve had to do lately! After working all weekend, I planned to take Monday off to get some stuff done around the house. BUT… my wonderful in-laws offered to take care of the big boys and instead Chad, Miles and I headed to the Market Common […]

Sunday on Daniel Island

I’m so excited that it has finally warmed up! What a perfect day. Poppy and Grammie took the boys to church this morning and we had a wonderful brunch in the Grill Room at the Daniel Island Club. I hate missing church but am still really apprehensive about putting Miles in the nursery when there […]

Little Hands and Little Feet

Yesterday evening, I spent a couple of hours in Miles’s nursery — packing up clothes that no longer fit him. It’s something that I’ve been putting off for weeks because it tends to be an emotional thing for me. As I folded those little outfits, I couldn’t help but wonder where the time goes? How […]

Tour of Daniel Island Homes – Video

My friend Terry Haas (of HGTV’s Designed to Sell) has put together a short video tour of a few DI homes. I think it’s an awesome idea since it gives a great overview of the different choices that Daniel Island has to offer. Terry takes us through homes, town homes, and condominiums in the video. […]

The End of the Day

Today was one of “those” days. Nothing went as planned, I didn’t feel well and I found myself looking forward to the end of the day. I couldn’t wait to get home, have supper, put the kids to bed, and just chill out. At around 5:45, I was getting ready to leave the office but […]

A Little Independence is a BIG Deal!

A well-kept secret is that the best hot dog on Daniel Island comes from the Halfway House on Rhoden Island Drive. The boys were thrilled when we let them walk up to the window, order hot dogs the way they like them (with ketchup AND mustard), “pay”, and carry them over to River Green park. Davis was beside […]

Morning on the Wando River

There’s something about water in the morning. It glistens and sparkles and takes on a color that is different from any other time of day. I went out to Mitchell Wharf this morning (without a great attitude since it’s still freezing today) to take some photos for work. As I took photos and tried to […]

How to make a little boy’s day…

So a couple of days ago, I posted about Colin’s fixation with the Port of Charleston. Two days later, I got a tweet from the CRBJ that the largest cargo ship to ever enter Charleston had come (and gone) that afternoon. We missed it!!!! There were a few photos in the paper but Colin was […]

Mitchell Wharf

It’s hard for me to describe how excited I am about the upcoming home site release on Daniel Island. Part of me is quite nostalgic because I have so many sweet memories of our family playing and picnicking on the beach below the bluff when the land was undeveloped. We would put on our old […]

Port Sunset

Colin is obsessed with the Port of Charleston. I don’t say that lightly. He even wanted to have his birthday party there! Colin is 6 and talks like a true authority on all things related to the port. On our way to school each morning we take the 526 bridge over the Wando River. While […]
