I had so much fun these last couple of days that that Sunday night I got hit with a huge case of the blues. Not only was the weekend ending, but I needed to gear up for another work filled week and I was filled with anxiety due to a million looming deadlines that all need to be done by June 1st. Suddenly May is feeling like it is going way too quickly.
Here is a short and sweet at my little getaway. We jetted off to Newport, RI at the end of the week and it was just what the Doctor ordered.
Hudson was ready to hit the road and started off the morning in a silly mood making kissy faces out the window while we loaded up the car.
In order to keep Hudson sane during the car trip we made a stop in Mystic to check out the aquarium. He had a blast.
The only problem was that he really wanted to get into every fish tank!
We also made sure to stop at our favorite restaurant in Naragganset, RI called Crazy Burger.
The best part about getting away was picking a part with an indoor pool so that we could all go take a dip before bed time.
{ Of course this huge smile turned into earthy scattering screams when we took him out of pool 30 mins later.}
The next morning Hudson enjoyed the desk space in the hotel room where he sat like such a nice little guy and watched an episode of Bubble Guppies while we finished getting ready.
We then took a stroll around the hotel and enjoyed a view of Newport, RI. Our hotel was on Goat Island which is a teeny tiny island right off of Newport, RI.
We took a trip into town to see the sites and enjoy some cupcakes from Mad Hatter bakery. So yummy!
We also took a long walk on the Cliff Walk:
{ Ah family shot where we are all looking at the camera! Amazing!}
We did some more sight seeing in town and then hit the road. It was a short and sweet trip and this guy was wiped.
We got back home in time to enjoy Mother’s day and celebrate my birthday with my family. It was so nice to be spoiled by everyone and I was enjoying myself so much that my phone never came out not even to take pictures. Perfection.
Hope you all had a lovely weekend!
Also don’t forgot that tomorrow our Summer Soiree link party begins! So if you have an projects that you have done that represent the Kate Spade lifestyle get ready to link up and share with all!
The beaches in Narragansett are the best so perhaps next time you can visit in the summertime. Also by then Aunt Carrie’s will be open and they have great clamcakes and chowder (pronouced chowda here in RI). Glad you had a short but sweet visit here in Rhode Island.

My living room is one of the rooms that evolved drastically from when we first moved one. Originally I painted the walls chocolate brown and did accents of white, blue and orange. That lasted maybe 2 years.
Our dining room sat empty for months. Okay maybe it was empty for just a handful of weeks and then we couldn’t take it anymore and put in a folding table and plastic outdoor chairs, but in my mind that was still empty.
On the main floor of our house we have a Florida room. Being that it’s a Florida room it is a considered a 3 season room, because there is no heat in the room. The previous owners used it as an indoor patio with outdoor furniture and it looked like this when we moved in.
In our new home, the basement was completely unfinished. It was literally one of those dark spaces that you see in horror movies and are terrified of getting locked into. However, with the square footage in this house, I knew I needed to make the basement another workable and liveable floor of the house instead […]
The time has come to finally share our new kitchen reveal. For those of you that have been with us from the beginning, we bought a house right before the pandemic hit. It was a total gut job from top to bottom. We started our demo and then the world shut down. Enter the delays […]
Picking out paint colors for a new home can be overwhelming. I find that many times when I meet with a new client the entire house is simply just painted white or a light gray. Now, I think there is a time and place for those colors, but with paint, there is just so much […]
What to look for when it comes to picking out kitchen appliances: Leave room in your budget for appliances. When it comes to kitchen renovations everyone knows that the cabinetry and the labor of demoing and installing cabinetry is going to eat a lot of your budget. However, the second most expensive part of a […]
I don’t think I’m alone in thinking that designing a kitchen is an overwhelming undertaking. I’m an interior designer and even I find it stressful to iron out all of those details. So, when it comes time to design a kitchen I always like to partner with a kitchen designer to make sure I’m remembering […]
I love Newport! What a wonderful time!!
The beaches in Narragansett are the best so perhaps next time you can visit in the summertime. Also by then Aunt Carrie’s will be open and they have great clamcakes and chowder (pronouced chowda here in RI). Glad you had a short but sweet visit here in Rhode Island.
Looks like an amazing time, happy birthday!!
