It had been a while since my entire family came together for a little celebrating… Mother’s Day to be exact. So when this past weekend came upon us, I was looking forward to some good, quality, family time celebrating the fathers in our lives….

I recently read an article in Time magazine that talked about the importance of loving your spouse and “choosing” to love them daily. The basis of the article was that you will always love your children, it’s a bond and relationship that one doesn’t even question… but that it’s imperative to invest in your marriage daily… for the health of your family… and your marriage. The article talked about the importance of children witnessing a loving marriage, and that a happy marriage fosters happier children. At the end the article reads….

“The only way to prevent this sad metamorphosis is to remember that the kids are not the reason you got together; they’re a very absorbing project you have undertaken with each other, like a three-dimensional, moving jigsaw puzzle that talks back and leaves its underwear in the bathroom. You don’t want to focus on it so much that you can no longer figure out each other.”

So while I celebrated my wonderful father, and the amazing father that TJ is to our children, I also took a step back to appreciate the husband TJ is and how blessed I am to have him help me navigate this crazy undertaking parenthood is!

Hope you all have a wonderful week ahead!

The mornings have been relatively warm so I’ve been trying out my favorite biker shorts for runs + spin sessions… so far this leopard pair and this black pair pass the comfort test. I’m considering this tan-ish color as well.

A few favorite items that are currently on sale include my favorite open knit for summer, leopard double wrap bracelet, grey oversized tee (so good for lounging or with cut-offs), and these mixed media slides for summer.

Soludos has some of the cutest summer shoes… like these woven espadrille mules (love the open back for summer) + these woven slides.

I just snagged this oversized basic tee in the olive color… pairs great with my biker shorts!

I recently received this insulated wine glass and I’m loving it… perfect for sunsets on the beach or concerts in the park this summer. Considering the wine chiller as well…

Anthropologie has some super cute new arrivals like this button front tank (love it front tucked in jeans), color block tote bag, drawstring frayed hem shorts, and this ruffled one shoulder black bathing suit top (I plan on pairing it with a bottom I already have…).

A few cute summer pieces, under $100… this absolutely adorable button front chambray dress, white utility romper, beautiful criss-cross slide sandals, + these cute polka dot shorts.
