We had a fairly busy weekend, with it culminating in a family celebration on Sunday for Mother’s Day. We had my 95 year old grandma, mom and dad, sister, BIL, and niece over for a BBQ and some pool time, and just enjoyed each other’s company, and catching up. I consider myself lucky to live so close to my grandma, mom, and sister and that we are able to celebrate together so easily… and I am truly grateful that we have a wonderful relationship with one another, that we enjoy coming together to celebrate. It’s something I don’t take for granted, and hope to have someday with my own daughters.

All that to say, I am also very aware that Mother’s Day means something different to everyone. I know that there are those with strained relationships with their mothers (or children), those who have lost a mother or child, those who are not able to have children, and those who are having a hard time becoming mothers, (and I know there are many other dynamics that I am forgetting)… but I hold you in my thoughts as well.

And no matter how you spent your weekend, I hope it was a nice couple of days, and that everyone has a great couple of days ahead!

There were a couple of requests for graduation dresses and I rounded up a couple here: this blue and white embroidered dress, white eyelet dress, belted linen dress, knotted ivory dress (so beautiful), floral halter dress, and this black linen dress. I also love this floral linen skirt paired with this tank (or ivory strapless top).

Haven Well Within is having 40% off your purchase (discount in cart… this is as of Sunday night… it didn’t show an end date so I apologize if it ended)… I have been living in these lounge shorts and tank… with the linen duster… and I also have this beautiful linen dress as well as this striped t-shirt dress… such great options for the summer season!

Aveda is having their site-wide friends and family sale… my favorite overnight hair serum and paddle brush are both included. I use the serum 2-3xs a week as part of my hair care routine and it works so well.

I bought these under $80 cream denim shorts and they’re so comfortable and great for summer! Love the stretch they have as well…

I also shared these linen shorts last week, and I bought a pair… so comfortable and a great inseam as well.

Also, how cute is this small crochet rope bag?? Perfect for a casual summer day…
