Naples, Florida

Last week my boys headed to Key West 

annual boys trip

Mini Lobster Season

they struck gold this time

they limited every.single.day

So, my girl and I hit Naples

each with a friend

girls week

Here is a photo out of my window on the way down

not pretty

 but that was the first and last of the rain

We hit our favorite breakfast spot early Monday morning

 Here are a few sights from Naples

 A pic of the beach the first night - it looks like the sand is meeting the sky

Early next morning we headed to Marco Island

made a stop at the Isle of Capri for a drink

Marco Island Beach

Dinner at Ft. Myers beach

Next beach, Ft. Myers 

Bonita Beach

Naples Beach

Lover's Key State Park 

Awesome beach - you park and take a tram to the beach

you get to ride around the beautiful state park

beautiful palm trees, bridges, and manatees

Next was breakfast and shopping on 5th Avenue before hitting the beach

This was my yummy breakfast

Chocolate Chip Banana Pancakes 

Yummo!

And we always have to visit Trader Joe's 

in any town we are in

we have to drive 45 minutes to our closest

 Trader Joe's at home

How beautiful are these flowers?  All over 5th Avenue.

Sweet girls going to dinner. 

And Kelly and I going to dinner. 

Savannah learning yoga poses - didn't take her long.  

And here are two phone photos my sweet guy sent of the lobster they caught in Key West.

Here's a pic of the Fresh Florida Lobster they caught. 

We had a wonderful time, beaching it, shopping, (West Elm Love)  sight seeing, visiting 4 different beaches, doing Pinterest projects, (photos later post) and having a lot of girl time.

A wonderful week and only 2 hours from home.

We are truly blessed.

I heart the beach.

This little heart shell sums up our week at the beach.

I heart it.

I hope your weekend is filled with sunshine too.

Craft Night

Here's a quick look at two cute wreaths my mom and I made last night. 

Her wreath

We started with a grapevine wreath  that we already had

The "J" is a small metal sign from Michael's

$1.00

The ribbon is also from Michael's 

Using a 25% off coupon made it $8.50

We took a small piece of wire and attached the sign to the wreath

My mom hand made the bow and we also wired it to the wreath

covering up the top wire of the sign.

So easy and she loved it.

Total Wreath = $9.50

My Wreath

I found these two Lemon Wreath's at Kirklands

They were originally $7.99 each

Marked down to $4.99 each 

and then 1/2 off of that

SCORE

I loved the wreath but knew it was too 

small for my door

so I decided to buy two of them 

and see what I could do

I found the yellow and white ribbon at Michael's

again with a 25% off coupon - $7.50

We took thin wire to connect the two wreaths

My mom again hand made the two bows

This time we actually hot glued them to the wreaths.

Added a small ribbon to hang on the wreath hanger

And there you have it.

Total = $12.50

And I love it.

Lemon's are my thing and our home is yellow 

so it's perfect.

Sorry for the less than quality photos,

they are from my phone

and at night 

but I was excited to show you.
