Hey Everyone!
Hope your Thursday is looking great! Like I said yesterday, I’m knee deep in packing ALL THE THINGS for our vacation. We leave tomorrow to head to Rosemary Beach. This is so my life right now…
Hahahahaha!!
Because I’m the lady on the left right now and all of my thoughts are revolving around things I should do, items I should pack, or how I’m going to fit it all in I decided I’d give you a peek into my planning mind. 🙂
******************************
When we travel to the Florida beaches, we always stay in a condo or house. I’m a huge fan of that…it gives us more space, we can easily wash laundry, and the list goes on and on. But do you want to know my least favorite thing?
The Grocery Store
{Imagine hearing that duh, duh, duh music right about now.}
Most beach rentals during the summer rent from Saturday to Saturday so everyone is checking in/out on the same day, which means the grocery stores on Saturday and even Sunday are Black-Friday-type-CRAZY.
This time I decided I needed a new system and I found Be My Shopper Concierge Grocery Shopping. I’m like GIDDY excited about this! I went online and ordered all the groceries we want for the week. Their website doesn’t have everything you’d see in a grocery store, but it has a ton of items. There is a place to add items you don’t see online, but I didn’t need to add anything extra. The service costs $50 and a percentage of your total, but you guys {this is the best part} the items are all delivered before we even check in to our condo. I’m gonna say that again just in case you missed it. When we arrive at the condo, our grocery store items will already be there WAITING for us. I asked Tab if he’d like to shop to save the extra money this service would cost and he told me it sounds like the best money we’ve ever spent. #notafanofthegrocerystoreeither
I want to add this is not a sponsored post, but I’m seriously pumped about this service and thought someone else traveling to the beach might want to take advantage. I’ll be sure to give you a review of the service when I’m back. 🙂

A beach and a good book just goes hand-in-hand. Right?
A few of these were recommended by friends and a few I found in the back of my book cabinet {no clue who recommended them}. Here are a few of the books I’m taking on the trip….
******************************
A few of the new things I bought for the trip…
*This pineapple Target cover-up. I sized up to a medium because it’s junior sizing.
*Coral Beach Dress-this one was calling my name. You know I have a thing for coral. 😉
*This fringe Target cover-up is junior sizing as well, so again-size up.
*Druzy Stud Set for cute, affordable earrings that can be worn to the beach or out to dinner.
*Floral Romper-When we need a little break from the sun, I can see myself strolling around town in this outfit.
*Lemon Pajama Set-apparently I’m having a moment with fruit right now. 🙂 I tend to never buy myself new pajamas until I’m headed out on a trip. Then I buy several new sets and trash the ones falling apart. {Do you guys have those too or is it just me?}
*Bracelet Set-I’m not sure how I stumbled upon this, but I decided it was a cute little set for a great price that just happens to scream, “BEACH!”, to me.
*Beach Hat and new sunglasses made the cut as well.
******************************
My kiddos are pretty great about a road trip. I let everyone buy a new DVD for the car. We’ll pack some other oldies but goodies along with snacks, a few books, and blankets so everyone is cozy and be SET!
******************************
Okay, I’m off to double check all my lists, finish the laundry, and make one more run to the store before calling it a day. Hope you have a good one!
XO
