I’m loving the “Women Supporting Women” challenge that’s happening right now on Instagram! It’s such a beautiful thing to recognize and shine light on the fact that we women should be each other’s biggest fans. We don’t rise by pushing someone else down, but by grabbing each other by the hand and climbing together.

I know I’m not alone in this, but I love walking around old, charming neighborhoods. It’s honestly one of my favorite things to do on a summer evening – pack the stroller in the back of the car, throw in some cold drinks and a snack, and just go find a nice place to walk and look at homes. It’s such a peaceful way to end the day. Plus, older established neighborhoods are the best places for long walks because the trees are bigger and fuller and provide plenty of shade – a very important factor when going on walks in the south!

One of my favorite things to do on a Saturday is to head to a local farmers market for a good stroll and a bite to eat. Luckily for me, living in Charleston, SC means that I can literally feed this love of mine at one of the best farmers markets in the nation. If you’re planning on being in Charleston over a weekend, you absolutely cannot miss the opportunity to come out and see it…and smell it, and taste it.
For my very first blog post I’ve decided to write about a day out we had last weekend at Sullivan’s Island because it perfectly combines the beautiful Charleston scenery with something our family loves to do – picnicking! We are a picnic loving crew and I am on a lifelong mission to perfect the art of the picnic. My husband Jamie is from England, and while America’s past time might be baseball, I’d swear that for the English it’s picnicking. Jamie’s family even used to take a portable picnic table with them on vacations. I’ve seen pictures; otherwise, I wouldn’t believe it. Although even the English would say that no one does picnics better than the French. Or maybe that’s just the ones who haven’t been to the South.
