Dry Falls

Oh, the irony of the name! Dry Falls is located in Highlands, North Carolina. The parking area is on the smaller side so I'd definitely recommend getting there early or on a less traveled day. A short walk down some stairs leads you to the waterfall, where you can walk behind the falls. Plan on…

Things You’ll Hear 1000 Times as a Twin Mom

I want to preface this by saying that by no means am I ever offended or annoyed by any of these things being said to me! This is solely for laughs. Since becoming a mother to twins almost 17 months ago I have become accustomed to feeling like there's a spotlight on us whenever I'm…

Sadlers Creek State Park

This park has grown to be one of our favorite spots to take the kids. Clean bathrooms, nice trails, and an incredible view of the lake. The first time we went we accidentally hiked the bike path (oops- what I get for not looking at a map) but it was a really great walk through…

Beech Bluff Trail

Back in June we visited Lake Hartwell State Park to hike the Beech Bluff Trail. It was a beautiful sunny day and we were ready for an adventure that was close to home! Double stroller in tow, we hit the trail only to realize yet again...we should've brought the baby carriers... After walking for a…

October in Michigan

Last week we had the pleasure of FINALLY being able to visit my parents and our friends back in Michigan after moving 8 months ago. It was an absolute blast, and my heart is so full after getting to spend some much needed quality time with everyone. Last year my little ones were much too…

Devils Fork State Park

When the world shut down at the start of the pandemic, so did our state parks here in South Carolina. Being new to the state we were so eager to get out and explore, but of course understood the severity of the situation and waited patiently. You can bet as soon as they opened in…

Mud Creek Falls

After our stop at Sky Valley, we continued on to Mud Creek Falls. Our GPS was not very helpful in finding this waterfall! It is located inside of a golf course so at first we felt a little lost. However there are signs (which we noticed after driving around for bit) to point you in…

October

I must say- October in South Carolina sure is different than what I was used to in Michigan! Yesterday was a great day to grab a pumpkin latte and take a stroll through my favorite park in Clemson. The humidity is gone. It's crisp in the mornings and evenings, with a nice 70 degree afternoon.…

Sky Valley

Since we've moved, we've taken up a new hobby on the weekends of just driving in any direction and seeing where it takes us. The county we live in borders both North Carolina and Georgia, so there is no shortage of places to go! Back in July one of our endeavors led us to Sky…

Twintastic Em- Blog Name Change!

You may have noticed my subtle change from Fantastic Em to Twintastic Em. I Really had no meaning behind my blogs original name, it just kinda flowed so I went with it. But in returning to this hobby of mine I felt I needed something more fitting for my new normal. Being a mother to…
