Serious props if you can guess what this magical-looking place is.

We’ve never done a relaxing, beach vacation before, and while I definitely wouldn’t have usually opted for one when I’m 6-months-pregnant with twins (because big, round bellies and bathing suits are such a pretty, pretty combo), I’m so crazy-excited about the prospect of 7 days of nothing but naps, swimming, book-reading, naps, meandering through quaint little neighborhoods, eating, naps, and, well, let’s face it, naps…

That I don’t care how big my belly is or who sees it (within reason, of course).

Speaking of which, if you don’t like glimpses of fish-belly white skin and slightly protruding tummies (mine), look away from the following pic, but if you think you can take it, it’s pretty cute.

I believe this might be one of the least flattering pics of me ever, but I love Della’s super-solemn expression as my midwife “listens to her babies” (Della really wanted her to).

Aaaaand now for much prettier pictures from you guys!

Like these Shirley Temple popsicles from A Pretty Life

And this lovely summer wreath from The House that Built Us.

And these adorable dish-towel bibs from Crafty Cousins.

 And these pretty tissue paper flowers from Silver Boxes.

And this oh-so-summery back door vignette from Creatively Living.

  1. Is it me, or does Della look like she’s over the whole thing? 😉 I can’t believe you’re having twins with that teeny-tiny bump! Have FUN on the beach!!

    Very excited to link up this week – finally got my mudroom bench and pipe shelves finished…except for some decorating tweaks. Need some suggestions!

  2. Beach vacays are my FAVORITE! We’ve managed Kauai twice in 12 years…..and I LOVED every minute! So, I’m a bit jealous….in a good way! You are gonna have soooo much fun! Can’t wait to see some fab pics and hear about your trip 🙂 And, that pic with Della is precious! How sweet! I was curious if you were still gonna be able to have a homebirth with twins. I assume as long as both are doing well, head down and term that you would??? I’m love birth stories, midwife tales & such so it will be fun to follow along w/ ya’….Happy Vacationing!! You deserve it!

  3. Oh boy…have a wonderful wonderful time…I’m jelly, but you need to conserve your strength 😉
