My Turks & Caicos highlights

May 20, 2014 By Shannon Bird 2 Comments

The trip started off on an amazing start. I got to meet one of my readers, and not just any of my readers, a cute pregnant reader who was wearing one of my maternity pieces I had sold on my blog! I am so glad she said hi to me and that I met her. I LOVE my readers! She too was going to Turks and Caicos.

Holland & I got upgraded to first class, we were pretty excited all though joke was on me. While Holland was partying and going nuts up front, Dallin got to watch a movie and sleep while Hudson slept the whole time. photo(1)Surfing minus the sharks:)

IMG_6868Feathers in the hair, I’ve always wanted to try this, so glad I did.

photo(36)Camp Sesame. This was a daycare service that came with your stay. You could do use this service all day and night until 10pm, you could even hire a staff member to come to your room and watch your kids if you wanted to be out past 10 pm. Hudsons age group had appearances by all the Sesame Street characters they worked on letters of the day ect. For meals they took the kids to restraunts. One night they had the kids in a parade while we were out to dinner. photo(35)

Holland loved Camp Sesame too. They bathed her, fed her, put her down for naps ect. They also gave me a cell phone that if needs be they could find me or contact me to let me know if she was alright. I loved them. When I came home I was having Camp Sesame with drawls:) It was nice because my husband and I have never vacationed together without our kids. Even just being able to go out to dinner with one another was such a treat! Did I mention the kids would be in new clothes given to them by the camp. IMG_6566

Fitness classes for the family. The instructor would shout in his Jamacain accent “I love my job!” And guess what, I totally believed him! He would also shout out “Unbelievable” Lol you have to hear that said in a Jamaican accent 🙂photo(33)It was nice having a Dr. in the resort. Hudson developed ear infections.   photo(31)Tin TIn! Our favorite!  photo(30)Holland loves sand! She would literally roll in it. Hudson on the other hand was like, um let’s go back to the pool. Did I mention we snorkled with sharks. I asked the guide “so are there sharks where we are snorkling?” He replied, “are there sharks on land?” and then I got tossed over board snorkel in toe. It was a rush! photo(29)Love these two!photo(39)Almost home.  I hope we get to go back soon!

Twice as much fun with Eric Javits + Chelsea

My Suit: Anne Cole (just sold out at Macys) / Hat: Eric Javits (Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus)

Chelsea’s  Suit: Revolve / Hat: Eric Javits (Nordstrom or Neiman Marcus)

 

Meet Chelsea! This young lady is my niece. She is darling inside and out. She is always a ton of fun and my kiddos adore her to pieces. Last summer after I had Holland and had Bells Palsy. Chelsea came out and helped me with Hudson. I am trying to get her to stay with me this summer for a little while as well, I loved having her! My favorite trait about Chelsea is she is a professional organizer, the very opposite of me. She organized my fridge, panty, ect. Chels! I need you!

Chelsea is the coolest. She always has the latest nic-nacs and is always top notch with her fashion. Last summer she bought Hudson all these LUSH fizz balls that you bathe with. I remember she put sea breeze fizz ball in with Hudson and he scram for days when the sea weed came spewing out at him. It was so freaky. It was sea weed literally inside this ball that grew and  grew and took over the bath tub. So funny! Well Chels I love you and am serious about you staying with me. I am still trying to win her over as best aunt.

Simply Bold & Bright

IMG_6614 IMG_6616 IMG_6610 IMG_6617 IMG_6618French Connection sweater // French Connection purse // French Connection Bermuda shorts // French Connection heeled sandal 

Like I said in my swimsuit post here I love the color combo pink & red. I love bright poppy colors. Which is why I took the photos in my favorite restaraunt in our resort. It’s called Bobby Dee’s “best chicken on the island” was my slogan for this place. I maybe said that well over 100 times always trying to convince others to join me, it did not take much convincing. The workers were adorable wearing poodle skirts, it was a fun flash back. My go to Halloween costume growing up was a poodle skirt. I think I need a new one.

Today I am wearing a complete French Connection outfit. I have been wearing a lot of French Connection lately. So many cute pieces that all work and flow well together. I really like French Connection to because it is not super expensive, they are great clothes because it fits what I feel comfortable in and is my lifestyle, which is dressy casual. I like getting dressed up, but I have to be practical because I am wrestling two littles at the same time.

I hope everyone has a great Tuesday. I am crossing my fingers that my kids do not wake up at 4:30 am like they did today. My kids are wonderful travelers, but horrible at time change and sleeping in.

if your a bird i’m a bird

My biggest blessing is Dallin. Because of Dallin my children and I get to be apart of this crazy Bird family. Hudson & Holland really have the coolest aunts and uncles that they can look up to. It is always a good time when you combine 42 personalities together. We have a pretty good split half of us our in New Jersey and the other half Utah, one is in Florida.

I love this in-law picture, we were cracking up because it got pointed out to us that we looked like bridesmaids. I also love this pic because this is the group that keeps the entertainment going. Whether it be dance offs, karaoke, fighting with strangers, music videos ect. there is always something that makes me laugh to tears.

I look up to my Father and Mother in law so much, together they had 11 children, 20 grandchildren and find ways to make everyone feel special. I am so grateful they hosted this family reunion. These people are my idols. They work so hard, but play even harder.

I love being a Bird!
