We typically start our weekends out on Saturday mornings, in the kitchen as a family, making a delicious breakfast. It’s typically some combination of avocado toast, eggs, bacon, pancakes, and fruit. Alexa plays whatever special music requests come in (lately it’s been “Disney Favorites Station”) by little miss, but sometimes TJ + I are able to sneak a few songs requests in here and there…

And since we have to be quick with our requests (or a little 4 year old makes another one…) we have our go-to morning songs. One of them is always Jack Johnson’s “Banana Pancakes.” It always seems to have a way of transporting us back to Hawaii… where time is irrelevant + life is carefree. Admittedly, I’ve sung the chorus over and over again, and I guess I never gave much thought to the other lyrics in the song because, as we sat there cooking breakfast as a family, one stanza in particular struck me:

“We don’t need to
We got everything we need right here
And everything we need is enough
Just so easy when the whole world fits inside of your arms
Do we really need to pay attention to the alarm
Wake up slow“

These past two months have been filled with ups + downs, memory making + challenging moments, but those lyrics summed up what this time has taught me the most… slow down, appreciate what’s in front of you, and be present.

Have a beautiful week friends xx

I’ve been doing interval runs with the Peloton app and have noticed my running pace getting much faster. If you have their app, I highly recommend the interval/HIIT classes. A few new workout pieces I’ve seen that are super cute and will work for warmer months include these high waisted shorts (I love them in the olive, such a good price), biker short/running short combo, this sports bra, and this mesh tee.

Loungewear is a hot commodity lately and I found some super cute pieces still in stock… like this sage colored jogger + tee combo, these black signature soft shorts (lots of great colors), oatmeal colored joggers, cropped tan pants (look so soft), and this washed black, high waisted, pair of lounge shorts. This terrycloth lounge set is super cute as well.

Swim. We’ve been spending so much time outside, and while our summer trips are up in the air, I still know we’ll be hanging by the pool all summer. I love this sage green coverup top, stripe romper coverup, ruffled swim top to pair with my black high waisted bottoms (bought them last year) and this white flutter, longline top, to wear with my white bottoms… and this leopard one piece.
