I couldn’t have imagined a better way to unofficially ring in summer than the way we spent these past several days. There wasn’t anything particularly different about the weekend, but it was just one of those weekends where you’re left feeling full…. from the time spent with family outside in the pool, belly laughs (might have almost peed my pants from laughing so hard), to trying new bbq recipes, and taking in the longer days by the firepit… it was one where the girls (and parents) went to sleep exhausted every night, only to wake up and repeat the next day with the same excitement and fervor. I’d say our motto was rinse, rest, and repeat….

And while I sit and celebrate the fun of the past several days, I do know that for those who lost a family member, or friend, who was fighting for our country, the weekend was likely much more challenging. I am eternally grateful to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

I hope everyone has a good week ahead!

(Took these cuties to the beach to start MDW a little early… pants, swim top, girl’s suits)

(Summer lounge for Friday night… top, shorts, sandals)

(A little pre-dinner dip in the pool to start the weekend….. Camille’s suit, Harper’s suit)

(Sushi take-out…)

(Pool day at my parent’s… similar swimsuit, TJ’s trunks, TJ’s top)

(A weekend pretty much spent in swimsuits or comfy clothes… cover-up (can be worn as a dress), suit, hat)

(Pizza + bubbly…. we love North Italia if you’re local…)

(Tossed on this comfy cashmere pullover + shorts combo for Sunday evening by the fireplace)

(Ending the weekend with s’mores by the pool… enjoyed by all to say the least!)

We’re heading to San Diego this coming weekend to take the girls to the Zoo and I have my packing list pretty much compiled:
I’m bringing along this bubble crop top (in white) to go with these go-to distressed jeans + black cut-off shorts
black ruffle top to pair with these way high black jeans
packing this henley bodysuit to go with the above mentioned bottoms….
these sneakers for walking around the zoo
and I’m still undecided on swimsuit for after the pool…..

I love this crochet shorts + top cover-up set… perfect for summer… and this crochet dress is super cute too but I think it would be too long for my short frame.
