This past weekend was full of lively and fun celebrations… from my Mom’s 71st birthday to Father’s Day… we spent the majority of the time with family, outside, and taking in the fun of the past few days. We caught up with family we hadn’t seen in a while, had silly moments with the kiddos (I don’t think we’ve all laughed like that in a while), stayed up past our bedtimes (girls included), and at the end of the day, everyone was exhausted….

It was a weekend that felt quintessentially summer to me… the sun was finally out in all of its glory, we ate most meals al fresco, the smell of sunscreen was everywhere, and the days felt long. And now as we embark on another week ahead, I’m left waiting for the next summer weekend…

And with that, I hope everyone has a wonderful week ahead….

(Here’s what I have planned for this week… over 15 ways to wear linen shorts in the summer, easy veggie tacos, and some 4th of July outfit inspo…)

(Refreshed the nails… went with an almond shape in “delicate pink…”)

(Friday morning run into the weekend… shorts, tank, bra)

(Friday lunchtime date with TJ…. top, jeans, sandals)

(A little bubbly to kick off the weekend….)

(Saturday morning hike… dress)

(Birthday table setting to celebrate my mom…. dinner bowls, glasses)

(Loved having family over to celebrate my mom’s 71st… dress (also fully in stock here), sandals)

(Then pool time… these reusable water balloons were such a hit…)

(Father’s day breakfast and then some pedicures (Harper’s idea…) to celebrate TJ….)

(Then off to the pool…. shorts, swimsuit, hat)

(And then a family BBQ for dinner to celebrate Father’s Day… cover-up worn as a dress, flip flops)

We’re heading to Europe in July, and I have my eyes on these flatform shoes (in the white)… they have lots of reviews saying they are comfortable… SHANNON20 for 20% off….

I also have my eyes on this linen skirt for our trip…

For summer workouts, these 5″ inseam running shorts were restocked. I purchased them last year and they’re great for runs!

I love these etched hoop earrings… such a beautiful statement…

I found a few dresses that are under $150 for the summer season… I have, and love, this black crochet dress, tiered floral dress, this floral dress has the prettiest details in the back, grey maxi t-shirt dress, organic cotton t-shirt dress (another one I own and love…), and this striped poplin dress.

I also think this floral dress would be beautiful for a dressier occasion…
