The Robbins' Take Pensacola Beach, FL.!

I gave my bladder a little pep talk before we started the 6 hour drive to Pensacola Beach, Florida. . ."You got this. Hang in there girl!" We arrived, with minimal restroom breaks, to sunshine, white sand and emerald green water. Oh my!!! It's the best site evah! Like instant stress relief. Olivia has been asking every single day, "We go to the beach today?" While RyAnne has been counting down the days leading up to our trip. Friday, we made it there! Woohoo! Once we got settled into our condo, we walked down the beach (I waddled my way) to one of our fave restaurants, Crabs. It's located on the beach and always has the best view of that stunning ocean. Plus, the food is SO good! RyAnne and I cracked through several clusters of crabs and they were like melt in your mouth yeah good!

That's supposed to be a ship in my hand. lol We saw so many colorful sail boats.

Packed myself some good beach reading material.

Morning sunsets here are straight from heaven.

Olivia is always making the silliest faces.

And then, BAM! Storm watch 20-17! Thankfully for us it was just bad wind and dark skies. It was so fun watching from the safety of our condo!

The wind and waves were very intense. The wind would knock off the tops of the waves.

The very next day we were blessed with more sunshine AND Olivia making another stink face. lol

Last year, in October, I took a photo with the girls under this same pier. At that time, I didn't know it, but I was pregnant with Rocco. Here we ALL are seven months later!

While we were at the beach, I planned a little maternity photo shoot. Originally I had a Pensacola Beach photographer lined up. However, it rained on the day she was available. So, we improvised! Trey took some photos and then RyAnne took the rest. Here is a little sneak peek! haha Stay tuned for more of our session in another blog post.

My Girls Spring Mini | Creekview Farm, Social Circle, Ga.

Y'all, our little farm is coming together! For my Spring Mini sessions this year, I knew I wanted to incorporate our newest additions, the chicks, goat girls AND the gorgeous chicken coop that Trey, some of our friends and family all had a hand in building. Oh and let's not forget our bunny model, Amp. Amp is the sweetest bunny evah! His mommy, Ashley Lott, is one of my brides. However, right before we were about to walk out the door to get our session started, I am looking around for Olivia. . .She was found sleeping in this chair! lol Poor baby was completely zonked out. lol She spent the day with her BFF, Olivia - AKA, Baby Jones. So her session was a little moody and short! RyAnne on the other hand, well, that girl worked it! She is never thrilled about taking photos but when she gets in front of my camera - IT'S ON!

Happy Birthday Olivia, you are getting a. . .

Olivia's third birthday was so much fun! She had a couple of requests; heart balloons everywhere and a piñata! Done and done! Thankfully her requests haven't gotten too extravagant. . .YET! lol We also did a little gender reveal! Eek! We were very excited to get to announce!

I love everyone's expressions! We are excited to be adding a baby boy to our family!!!! Thank you to everyone that could make to Olivia's birthday and celebrate her with us!

Goats! Our visit to Yellow Rose Farm in Shadydale, Ga.

Y’all!!! On Sunday, we all went to see Shannon Lawrence at Yellow Rose Farm in Shadydale, Ga. We started the day in her milking barn learning about the lady goats and their fabulous milk they produce for her. Shannon makes and sells all her own products from the milk: deodorant, lip balm, lotion, soap, yogurt and so much more. Trey and I had loads of questions, which she happily answered. She knows goats! You can tell by chatting with Shannon that her goats are her life and she loves them so, so much! After roaming around her farm for a while, meeting her chickens, guardian dogs and lots and lots of goats, we made our way into her living room. This is where we met OUR goat babies! We were greeted by the sound of 19 babies nehing from their pin. It was the sweetest sound. It was time for them to have their bottles. We all had a seat and she gave us a goat and a bottle full of goat milk. They suckled their milk down so fast and we could feel their bellies filling up. That’s when we all started falling in love! After they would finish a bottle we would set them outside on Shannon’s back deck. They would run and stomp their little hooves and then jump sporadically. . .It was so joyful to watch them!

Once all the babies had full, full bellies, we all sat outside with them and loved on them and watched them play. We started asking Shannon, “Is this one available?”, “What about this one?” lol Some of them had already been claimed and as we started falling in love, we also started picking out our faves. Eek. . .we had more faves than I intended on leaving with! lol I originally wanted two to three goats living on our farm and becoming a part of our family. Welllllll, Trey said he wanted five! haha So, Creekview Farm will have five goat babies! Yay!!!

Monday evening we made our way back to Shannon’s farm to pick up our babies! We fed them their last goat milk bottle and loaded up our little heard. As I have been posting on social media that our family is getting these sweet babies, I have also been setting up play dates with friends that can't wait to love on them! lol Yesterday was our first full day with our babies and they had SO many visitors. I had my neighbor, Carol, randomly stop by asking, “Where are the goats?!” lol These babies are already bringing so much joy, to not only us but our friends and family, too. I LOVE IT! That’s what I want our farm to do!

Every time I sit with them and feed them, love on them, play with them, I feel like it’s my therapy! They really bring me a nice sense of calm. Which is very welcomed considering how busy and full our life is.

I am really looking forward to seeing how God uses our little farm! More photos of the babies coming soon! But in the mean time, check out our photos from Yellow Rose Farm.

Creekview Farm | Our piece of heaven

For the first 15 years of my life, I grew up in the city, mostly the Stone Mountain area. When my mom + dad decided to purchase land in Social Circle, Georgia, I was like, where the heck is that?! Being a teenager and only knowing what it was like to travel 2 minutes to EVERYTHING, the idea of moving to the country was a big NO for this girl. At least that's what I thought at first. Once we settled in, I loved all the land around us! And I got to see cows - EVERYWHERE! I have a slight obsession with cows. lol My nickname in high school was Holly Cow. Now that Trey and I have lived on our sweet little piece of heaven for over ten years now, we have decided to put this land to use. We are having a livestock fence installed and we have big dreams for our little "petting zoo" of a farm. At this time it involves, mini cows, dwarf goats, a mini donkey and eventually chickens. I'm SO excited for the adventure!

Here is some of the progress. As of today we have much more of the fence and gates installed. Almost done! I even made a logo for our little farm.
