Charleston has been on my list of places to visit for years. We went out of our way to make a short stop for lunch in Charleston on our road trip from Savannah to Myrtle Beach. Charleston is definitely a foodies dream Read more about our road trip stops in Savannah and Hilton Head.

I placed a bunch of golf tees and golf balls in clear glasses to use as center pieces and weights on the food table. Aaron wore a polo onesie, argyle sweater vest that I found on Poshmark, and a little golf hat. Jon and I both wore polos / golf shirts (aka Jon is almost always dressed to Aaron’s birthday party theme). We truly had the best time celebrating Aaron’s hole in one golf birthday par-tee!

And as much as I wish I was lucky enough to look back at my first year of motherhood and Aaron’s first year as a person with all happy thoughts and memories I will forever be thankful for the extra time I had at home with my family, but it was a scary and stressful time with no idea when I would be going back to work or getting paid again. How did we go so quickly from the tiny little baby who we always ended up carrying home on our walks because he would cry every single time to now telling us he wants to “go” outside. Aaron spends most of his days at ‘daddy day care’ and there’s nothing better than seeing those two play together.

The mesh sling makes its comfortable for baby and grows with them while they learn to sit up. But then bath time got more fun for this water baby and baths got longer and sitting like that was not comfortable or good for my back. I fell down a hole of research on how to get rid of it and ended up ordering this brush and Tubby Todd AOO.
