reading, organizing, shopping, momming too close to the sun. Home is wherever the Army sends us.
and this is what my house regularly looks like.
laundry? is my nemesis.
i hate doing it. and i wait too long every time.
i force myself to wait until i HAVE to do it and by that point it’s torture. 92348023840328 loads in one day.
and then i have a ginormous pile of laundry to fold. see above.
yes. laundry is my arch rival.
but at least i can put these 2 to work.
mini cinderellies. 🙂
happy wednesday, y’all!

hey y’all! so i know i’ve been pretty absent lately…
life’s just really full and crazy right now. in a great way. 🙂
lots of company and getting ready for italy. i cannot BELIEVE that june is our last month in this house. i’m equal parts terrified and exhilarated.
i was sitting here drinking my coffee and thinking about how i really wanted to blog. but I couldn’t figure out what to blog about.
looking back through my photos from the past few months, i realized i haven’t talked much about our favorite places in newport.
so that’s what i’m talking about today. is anyone interested in reading this? i have no idea. HA! but i thought it might be fun.
here are some of our favorite places to visit in and around newport.
1. The Cliff Walk – we almost always take visitors here. the ocean, 40 steps, walking by the most gorgeous houses in newport…you just can’t beat it.
2. Ocean Drive.– breathtakingly beautiful. the beaches are lovely, the homes are amazing. it never gets old.
3.Easton’s Beach- ride the carousel, drink some del’s.
4. Anthony’s– best seafood in town. hands down. i have had their lobster rolls 2918302840238 and i NEVER get tired of them. so so SO good.
5. Bowen’s Wharf– sit and watch the boats, shop in the super cute boutiques, and eat at 22 bowen’s
6. Purgatory Chasm– the best place to have a picnic.
7.Newport Creamery- i don’t even want to begin to try to count the number of Awful Awfuls we’ve consumed this past year.
8.Fort Wetherill– can’t even put this place into words. creepy, beautiful, decayed, amazing.
9. Sachuest Point Wildlife Refuge– peaceful and beautiful.
