This past weekend, M's Memaw took her to Myrtle Beach, SC! My mother-in-law has started taking her grand-babies on solo-vacations in order to spend one on one time with them. This year was M's turn and I missed her... I missed her a lot! It was good getting to hangout with just Peanut, but I felt like something was off all four days! When she came home, she was so excited to share all of her adventures. One of her favorites was going on the Sky Wheel- twice!! Don't worry about her lack of seat belt- it is fully enclosed.
Even if you can't see her face in it, I am still in love with this picture.

To my mother-in-law...thanks for spoiling our girl!
She had a blast and I can't wait to see where Peanut decides to go!
Have you ever been on a ferris wheel or sky wheel?
This is such a great post! It is so easy to get wrapped up in day to day life. It is great to stop and think about how great it is to be a mom.
ReplyDeleteGetting to go to animated movies because "the kids want to go". ;)
ReplyDeleteSo true! One of my favorite things was getting to watch old cartoons that my kids wanted to watch. Love the Smurfs!
ReplyDeleteThere are definitely perks to being a parent! Love the ones you shared. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww...this post makes me reconsider my stance on whether I want children. I especially love the last one. :)
ReplyDeleteMy son and I take selfies all the time. He is almost two and knows how to operate the camera!
ReplyDeleteLOVE this post, it actually brought tears to my eyes. It's nice to remember these things when you've had a bad day :)
ReplyDeleteI like the ones where there will be times that will melt your heart!! Great post! Made me look at my kids and smile!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely the times that make my heart smile. My younger daughter and toddler son are so sweet to each other.
ReplyDeleteThese are all wonderful perks! My favorite is definitely snuggles, though. :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you liked it! I totally cried when I saw it in the preview screen!
ReplyDeleteI noticed that you followed suit and did a boy perks! Care to link up to each other?
ReplyDeleteYOu captured some great pictures. So many sweet pictures to cherish
ReplyDeleteI think it's just a whole different way of life. I have three older sisters that have been married for ages but none have kids. Having our daughter just opens up a whole new aspect to everything.
ReplyDeleteI can not even imagine not having children. The joy of parenthood literally can not be compared to anything else on earth!
ReplyDeleteI guess my favorite would be always having someone to be silly with. My toddler gives me the biggest hi when I come home from work and I love it. You got some great shots.
ReplyDeleteI love that I always have someone to be silly with,my kids keep me laughing all the time,Oh and of course watching cartoon and playing with toys :).
ReplyDeleteThese are great pictures and perks! This post made me smile!
ReplyDeletesuch a great post. I love the real hugs and kisses I get without reason
ReplyDeleteMy kids are teens and I love that we are friends and do fun things together and have great conversations about life.
ReplyDeleteI love the unconditional love the most. I also like finding random child items in my purse, like Matchbox cars, hair barrettes, lollipops and temporary tattoos. When I pull one of those items out of my purse I always smile.
ReplyDeleteMy boys keep me very entertained. I love that I get to be a stay at home mom and not miss a thing.
ReplyDeleteMy boys are definitely my smile makers...and my stress makers lol But the two go hand in hand. At the end of the day I still want to kiss their entire face.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness... so many! One of my favorites is watching them laugh and interact with one another and then another is hearing them turn into comedians.. just like their mama.
ReplyDeleteLove all the perks of being a parent. Enjoy them while they are little. My oldest leaves for college in the fall and I am so nervous. I love being silly with my girls.
ReplyDeleteLove the perks of being a parents. Helps you forget the less than perky moments parents also get. Ha!

ReplyDeleteAwww this is adorable! I can't choose a favorite perk but I do love the being silly one...and the fact that I have a sweet little companion all of my own to love and teach!
ReplyDeleteI love this. You are so right! :) I love my 3 daughters more than life itself.
ReplyDeleteWhat a bunch of great parenting perks :-) The kids are simply adorable. I look forward to snuggles with my grandkids!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these. Parenting is a full time job with many rewards and bonuses.
ReplyDeleteI miss the snuggles! I didn't know they would end so soon!
ReplyDeleteI agree that selfies are okay with the kids. :) My daughter puts me in hers all the time, and I recently put the two youngest in with one for me. I think it makes cute memories. :)

ReplyDeleteI love this post! The pictures are adorable.
ReplyDeleteCute post! I'm waiting for the day when we have a kid-free vacation. LOLL!
ReplyDeleteI love all of those things about being a mom. The honest taste tester is right on I don't know how many times my son has told me to never ever make certain things again.
ReplyDeleteThis is such a sweet post! I was out of town last weekend and the reception I got when I got home... you'd have thought I'd been gone for months instead of days!
ReplyDeleteThese are all so very true! Love the honest taste tester one sometimes a little too honest. lol
ReplyDeleteOne of the perks is that feeling you get when you first have your baby. Nothing could ever compare to it!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite perk is the cuddles when they are little. And when they come back and cuddle when they are older too!
ReplyDeleteI agre. Sometimes stress overcomes but we get these reminders.
ReplyDeletethere's always someone to talk to and play with! Love my kiddos!
