*Warning: Two fun filled days crammed into one post-Enjoy!         Five days ago we woke the boys up, long before the sun even had a inkling of peaking over the horizon and drove down the coast to another surf contest. This time it was for the First Annual Oyster Festival Surf Off. […]

If tears could build a stairway and thoughts a memory lane I’d walk right up to heaven and bring you home again No Farewell words were spoken No time to say good-bye You were gone before I knew it And only God knows why. My heart’s still active in sadness And secret tears still flow […]

Ahhhh…I haven’t done this in forever. It has been some time since I’ve slipped into my holey jeans and strolled along the beach simply taking in my surroundings.

Yet, I find myself choking back tears as I sit here writing this post. This post is not about perfect pictures, recipes or witty content. This is about precious moments and the strength of love.
