Coastal Detour: October 2011
http://coastaldetour.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Saturday, October 1, 2011. We had to have some work done to our bathroom because the vent fan wasn't working right and we needed to completely revent it to the other side of the house. It is a very little bathroom and during the course of fixing things up my very brilliant husband had this idea. What a genius! Of course, we'll (he'll) have to move the towel rack but isn't it always the little things? Can I get an Amen? My life is a grocery store line. A "We'll be just fine". The last thread of hope.

Coastal Detour: May 2012
http://coastaldetour.blogspot.com/2012_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 13, 2012. I woke up this morning.crying. I know, horrible right? I miss my grandmother. My middle child (who reminds me the most of her and is therefore a comfort at these moments) was at a sleepover and did not want to come home because she feels she has an annoying little brother. Sigh. He is pretty annoying. I did not let on I was sad and needy. I played it cool. I would really like to say that about 20 times a day. It WOULD save a lot of time and besides, it is mostly true. We laughed ove...

Coastal Detour: February 2012
http://coastaldetour.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 26, 2012. The Actual Academy Awards. Let's start with the outfits. I have divided them into categories (sort of) but once again, GP takes the cake. I may not love her but she's got class. Next in the classy dept was Emma Stone. Her dress was very highbrow and she looked wonderful. I think she is a terrific young actress as well. She has a wonderful, big personality. Win, win. And though I have no idea who this is, she looks smashing! Next was this - she looks fantastic. She wins for that.

About the Eco Chicks. Banish Barbie with These 6 Body-Positive Doll Alternatives. Posted by Sophie Hessekiel. August 5, 2015 at 4:49 pm. Image from Buzzfeed article. Numerous studies have shown that playing with hyper-thin (and also out-of-human-proportion) dolls like Barbie can encourage girls to eat less. And promote body image issues. That’s a pretty huge and legit concern for parents and other adults who care that girls grow up healthy and not wasting time hating themselves. Of these removable “...

Coastal Detour: March 2012
http://coastaldetour.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 13, 2012. My weekend in Chapel Hill. This is for my Bowman Hall pals asking for pictures of how I spent my weekend. When I really started to think about what I did, there was a lot to share with y'all actually, if you can hang with my rambling. We got there really late on Friday night and we just crashed. This is what I woke up to in my friend's studio. Couldn't you just have a field day in this room? I love the construction paper birds on the big sliding windows. And is amazing in a hundr...

And here are a few choice items for the discerning and well-healed Alabama fan! Diane Von Furstenbug at Neiman Marcus (Hello!

Wednesday, June 27, 2012. Between Iron Man 3 in Wilmington and Safe Haven in Southport it really is like Hollywood has come to town. Facebook, Twitter and my email are hopping with celebrity encounters. I haven't met anyone yet but here are some fun pictures of what is going on around here. GP getting a cooking lesson from Keith Rhodes at Catch. Spotted outside of Manna in Wilmington with Style Girl, Jess James. In Southport, a picture of the new set for Safe Haven, from the water. View from the set.

Coastal Detour: April 2011
http://coastaldetour.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 24, 2011. I got my hippy on for a couple of days, just enough to remind myself: been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Plus it rained and rained. Got back in time to get some sleep and then go to church. This is me sitting in the car, trying to get dry and warm and charging my phone so I could keep up (sort of) with my teenage daughter. It took me about 20 minutes to clean all the mud off my feet once we got home on Saturday. Yuck. Oh the things we do for our children. Playing with the cam...
