In the late 2000s I kept a personal mom blog called Nest Bliss. I reviewed books, wrote about the house and the girls, and was even in the Wall Street Journal. These posts are from then: light, young, a mom in her late twenties. I have edited them to stand on their own.
The beach was absolutely beautiful. It seems that for all the trouble they had figuring out how to stop the oil they haven't had any trouble figuring out how to clean it up.
After I moved away from home 8 years ago the thing I miss the most is the dreamy Florida Panhandle beaches with big sand dunes and sugary white sand that your feet sink into - heaven.
Some shots from Lilly's first Beach Day
My swimsuit is hot. I know. Who is this a good picture of? I don't know.
Lilly was unimpressed.
Ava was in awe.
Lilly was tortured.
Ava was in sandcastle heaven.
Lilly tried really hard not to laugh.
Ava tried really hard to run straight into the ocean as fast as she could without anyone stopping her.
