Birthday celebrations!

Good morning, friend! I’m typing this from under the covers with a hot cup of coffee (favorite morning mug) in hand… it’s my birthday today! I’m so excited to get the day started. We’re headed to the beach this morning for a fun family day! I told Laurens last night what we had planned, and he insisted I wear a sparkly birthday hat to the beach… and honestly, I just might.

This past week and weekend were full of celebrations, birthday drinks (twice!) with the girls (I wore this and this), a date night with Ryan on Friday (I wore this), and a little family party on Saturday to celebrate both my mom and me (our birthdays are back to back, I had to make my famous chocolate cake!). We even squeezed in a pool morning on Saturday (these were a hit) and some water table fun before church on Sunday (I wore this). It felt like we were constantly on the move, but how could we not be with a three-year-old and an almost one-year-old who’s very ready to get into everything?! Ha! I’m so grateful for another year with this little family of mine, I don’t take a single moment for granted.

This week, I’ll be sharing more about our built-in project, if you missed it on Instagram, you can catch up here and here! I’m also planning to share my new skincare routine, it’s been a total game-changer and one product was the culprit. Plus, if you’re still on the hunt for a Father’s Day gift, I have a fabulous list here.

Okay, I’m off — can’t wait to get my toes in the sand! Happy Monday, friend!

5 Things I’m Loving

A few fun things I’m loving right now…

1.

Hatch Restore Alarm

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I love, absolutely adore, my new Hatch Restore alarm clock. I’m a notorious snooze button gal (like, I can hit snooze for hours without even realizing it), but there’s something about the “sunrise” light and the alarm “playlist” that just works. I honestly don’t know what it is, but I love it so much. HIGHLY recommend.

2.

Gingham Perfection

The new Americana capsule collection from Tuckernuck is killing me, it’s all just so good. This dress is a total showstopper in my opinion. ADD. TO. CART.

3.

Quince Baby/Kid Swim (under $25!)

I didn’t realize Quince had baby and kid items until recently, and gosh, they are so cute. Plus, I love the pricing even more. I currently have my eye on their swimwear. We are constantly in and out of suits over here! I’m especially loving the long-sleeve zip-ups, my favorite.

4.

Turquoise For Summer

I truthfully haven’t taken this bracelet off — showering, swimming, everything — since it arrived. It’s so beautiful and such a fun pop of color, especially for the summer months! If you’re looking for a special gift, I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve gotten a million compliments on it!

Eyelet Crocs

I meant to order these Crocs a few weeks ago and never hit checkout… definitely on my list for this week. The perfect backyard shoe for afternoons at the water table with the kids!
