Good morning! I hope this post finds you doing well and that you had a great weekend. Behind the scenes, I’ve been having some tech issues so bare with me if formatting or anything else is off right now. I can chat all things decor, fashion, family and life with you . . . but throw a tech crisis my way and we are in trouble. Despite that, we had a wonderful and full weekend. Here is a recap with the Monday Morning Wrap Up.
DATE NIGHT
Prior to yesterday, our weather has been a dream. NO humidity and breezy. Safe to say we took full advantage of that and were outside pretty much all week and weekend. Downtown Franklin was a great place to be this weekend because the majority of people were in Nashville for CMA Fest. So it seemed a bit quieter and just lovely for browsing stores and popping in great restaurants.
CORK & COW
Speaking of great restaurants, this is a favorite of ours. Small, quaint and outstanding food. Definitely make a reservation.
CMA FEST
While our daughter spent the majority of her weekend at CMA Fest, we kept it to one day but had an absolute blast. So much fun! There is just something about all day live music, nice weather, and the great spirit of Nashville. Highly recommend if you are ever in the area. There are concerts all day long and live music at pretty much every venue.
RIVERFRONT
We love the Riverfront stage. So family friendly and a beautiful setting. It’s all so casual and relaxed and just a great way to spend the day. Nissan Stadium hosts the major lineups and goes well into the night. We aren’t late owls anymore so we like to enjoy the events during the day.
FEELING STRONGER
If you missed my post on resetting my nervous system, you can read that here. It’s been instrumental in me feeling my best. While I have always been active, this past two months I have been committed to weight training, 8-10K steps, and eating very well. It’s really exciting to see progress and feel much stronger. None of it happens over night but it’s so satisfying when you go up in weights.
*These adjustable weights have been fantastic. You would be surprised how quickly you go up in weights so being able to adjust these is really great.
THESE ARE ON REPEAT
These are my most asked about pants. Yes, they are a bit of an investment but so worth it. I LOVE these. They are wrinkle free and amazing for travel. I pair them with my $10 white t-shirt (the best) and often a sweater around my shoulders. It feels like you are wearing pajamas but you look very pulled together. This color is called Metropolis Taupe and it’s so pretty. I am wearing a small regular and I am 5’7″.
A BEACH MUST HAVE
This is a MUST!!! A friend of ours gifted us this beach blanket. Where has this been my whole life. What? The sand just falls right off. It’s huge and can be secured to the sand with stakes. It dries really quickly and is a genius product.
DARLING TARGET FINDS
I took a long stroll through Target the other day. I happened to hit it when it wasn’t crowded so I took my time wandering the aisles and of course thinking about my mom. They have some daring finds right now. These bags are SO CUTE. They come in two sizes (the mini is purse sized) and two colors. The sweater is darling with a flag on the back (child and adult sizes). The skirt is really pretty and fun for the fourth of July.
So funny to see this bag right after I was at Target. Apparently this style is very on trend right now. Very pretty bag and currently on sale.
BEST SNEAKERS
I shared these in this week’s Saturday Shopping post. I have this exact pair plus an all neutral pair. I LOVE these. My friends and I all swear by these for travel, too. I typically wear them for the travel day and then I am so happy to have them with me for all of the walking. This price is really good.
WHILE YOU WERE OUT
What does your week look like? Have you hit a stride with your summer schedule? We are still working on it over here but I’ve been an early bird lately and I’m not bummed about it. It’s been nice to get a few things done before everyone else wakes up. Wishing you a really lovely Monday.
