It's the Charleston Southern Charm I Will Miss Most

There are so many amazing things about Charleston but the one thing that I think sticks out most is its charm! If you have never been to visit it is something that you won’t forget. Yes, we have beaches, museums, parks, and lots of history, but it’s the southern charm that will grab at your heartstrings! Today I am sharing the Charleston Southern Charm that I will miss most!

My husband and I are moving in the next few weeks to Florida. It is not what we had planned for our future, but we are still excited about the new adventures that await us there! While Florida is still in the South, we will miss the parts that Charleston brings that no other city has been able to. If you haven’t visited it yet I highly recommend it because it is beautiful! I have a few blog posts that will help but start with, 3 Hidden Gems to Visit on Your Next Trip to Charleston SC.

Southern Style Homes

I absolutely love a front porch and with our current home, we have a double front porch. It doesn’t get more southern than that! Porches are big here in the Charleston area and people like to personalize them. With adding flower planters, rocking chairs, swings, you name it! My favorite time of year is Memorial Day or the 4th of July when people deck their porches out with red, white, and blue banners!

Prior to A/C southern porches had a privacy door on them and would sometimes be on the side of the house. It depended on which direction the home was built and which way you could get the best airflow! The privacy door serves a purpose and people used these as sleeping porches or for privacy to just strip down to their bloomers back in the day when they dressed to the nines to cool off!

Mossy Trees & Landscape

Is there anything as pretty as taking a long drive and seeing tree-lined roads with hanging Spanish Moss? We have several roads that have “tree tunnels” of these mossy hanging trees. The moss typically likes to hang out on Southern Live Oaks and Bald Cypress trees. It is a pretty sight to see but you generally want to use caution when picking it up. It tends to be a popular place for snakes, bats, and jumping spiders to hang out! No thank you! I will enjoy it from a distance … Lol! Birds do love it to build their nests with.

A few popular places to go to enjoy a great photo opportunity are Boone Hall Plantation and The Angel Oak Tree.

Boone Hall Plantation has a famous avenue of Oak trees as you drive in which is beautiful! They also have many other things that you can do while there which are worth the trip. Click here to find out more information.

The Angel Oak Tree is considered to be the largest Live Oak Tree east of the Mississippi estimated to be 300 to 400 years old! It is beautiful and is a great photo opportunity! The Angel Oak is located on James Island. You can find out more information here.

Charming Downtown Streets

Downtown Charleston has so much to offer! There is something for everyone and southern charm is on top of the list! You could spend an entire day just walking the streets looking at all the homes, businesses, parks, and historical sites.

We had our family photos taken downtown a few years ago when we had all our kids in town at the same time. Talk about an abundance of photo opportunities! Spring and summer is a great time to visit because so many of the streets have window boxes of flowers and plants that are beautiful! And don’t get me started on all the iron gates and fences, so pretty!

I did a blog post a while back, 3 Must Do’s on Your Next Charleston Trip. You should check it out! All 3 things are in the downtown area.

We have loved every moment that we have spent in the Charleston area and are going to miss it terribly, especially that southern charm! We have so many great memories but are excited about the new adventures we are going to have. I am super excited about being able to share those adventures with y’all!

Please share in the comments your favorite parts of Charleston and what you would like to see in my future blog posts as we move to Florida!

It's difficult sometimes when someone hurts us. We sometimes wonder why God "isn't doing anything" about the bad things in the world, or the bad people in our lives. 
But it isn't up to us. We only need to worry about ourselves. He sees it all, the good and the bad. And sometimes we only see a small part of what is really going on in someone's life. It is easy to make a judgment. It is difficult to 👇
Give it to God 🤍

There are a lot of benefits to having a dog, besides unconditional love. 🤍 Studies have shown that just petting a dog can:
• Lower your blood pressure
• Lower heart rate
• Slows breathing
• Relaxes muscle tension
I think Theo has been doing a good job of all of the above! I won't even get into what he does when I have a migraine. 🤯 Dogs are amazing. 🤍
Do you have a dog? Do you agree with what these studies have shown?

It took me a while to find some barstools that I liked. I didn’t want your classic ones. I wanted a coastal feel to them. I also didn’t want to spend an arm & a leg for them! Can you believe how expensive bar stools have gotten?! 🫣
I am a bargain shopper and I finally found these at @target of all places! I have them linked over on my 𝐋𝐓𝐊 𝐩𝐚𝐠𝐞 if you want to check them out. 👇

Happy Easter friends! Jesus' story didn't end on the cross. It only just began. 
Sometimes on our hardest days or toughest times in life we look back and realize it was the beginning of something good. 🤍

If you have read any of my blog posts over on 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 then you know that drinking your water is important for both healthy skin and hair. 
Our body is made up of about 50-70% water. So, staying hydrated is important! Experts recommend that you drink half your body weight in ounces. 
I was gifted this great water bottle to help me remember to drink my water from @venturepal_usa. It has such cute reminders on it to help keep you motivated throughout the day! They also come in different sizes and colors. 
How much water do you drink every day? I need to drink more so hopefully this will help! 🤍

The world around us can get stressful. We have become a society of being "honest" to the extent that it doesn't matter if it's true but it's that person's opinion. Opinions have become facts. I don't know about you, but a lot of this causes me anxiety. 
Do you struggle with anxiety? If not, you are lucky. But if you do all is not lost. The Bible talks about anxiety and worry. God doesn’t want us to be anxious, He wants us to come to Him for help. Remember, you are never alone! 
Head over to 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐨 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐭𝐡 𝐁𝐥𝐨𝐠 to read our post, I'm Only Talking To Jesus Today! When I am worried and anxious, I often find myself going into this mode. 
We are sharing a few tools to help get you through those times. The link is in our profile! 🔗

This has been a rough week for a lot of us on many levels. What makes evil happy? Tearing each other apart, dividing, and breaking down. How do we overcome evil? With good. 
Be good. Be kind. Don't participate in the unkindness and negativity. And above all else, pray. 🤍
