Good morning. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. We hosted one of Riley’s friends from college and had so much fun. Seeing the high school kids and college friends blend so well is such a blessing. And very thankful that we woke up to blue skies and no humidity. I will take it! Looking forward to a nice week leading up to my birthday and Father’s day. Here is a look back at life lately with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
FARMERS’ MARKET
Saturday morning always finds us at the Franklin Farmers’ Market. We get most of our produce, fruits, eggs and milk from there. And love supporting local famers who do an amazing job.
SO MUCH JOY
Our Limelights are in full bloom! They have exploded even more since this photo. It’s my favorite time of year in our yard. The pretty blooms make up for the heat. And we have zero skill when it comes to landscape so this is very exciting.
DATE AFTERNOON
We snuck in a quick date afternoon on the weekend. In between hosting and seeing friends. It’s always nice to just enjoy good conversation and together time. Even just an hour feels like a great reset. I haven’t been drinking much the last couple of years, but I am a sucker for a chilled glass of white wine when it’s warm outside. Anyone else?
A CLEAN KITCHEN
This kitchen is usually a hot mess. We cook pretty much every meal and when we are all home in the summer it’s a busy place. Sunday morning I did a nice deep clean and it was so nice to see it all picked up. At least for a good hour! It was a bit of a stormy day so cozy and moody inside. Our kitchen pendants can be found here. I still love them as much as the day we hung them.
MORNINGS ON THE PORCH
Do you have a set morning routine? I talked a bit about mine in a nervous system reset post. I always head to the front of the house for sun first thing in the morning. After breakfast, you’ll find me on our back porch with a cup of coffee or my lemon water. Even five or ten minutes just listening to the birds chirp or reading a book starts the day off right.
WEARING LATELY
We went out to celebrate my son’s graduation the other night and this is what I wore. I LOVE this blue necklace. The color is so pretty and it’s a fun way to dress up a simple look. It comes in so many different color options.
I’ve been carrying this handbag non-stop since my sister gifted it to me. I also found an identical version on Amazon (half the price).
This white blouse is soooooo good! And it’s currently on sale. If you need a classic white blouse, I really think you’ll love this one. It’s very soft and the v-neck is so flattering. It makes it easy to wear a pretty necklace with it. I also really like the length of the sleeve (no need to roll them up). Overall a very flattering cut and now 30% off. A closet staple worth the price.
My gold and silver stacked ring can be found here.
The clear heels I wear all the time sold out long ago so I wanted to test out this pair for you and they are great. Comfy right out of the box and a very low heel so they are easy to wear. They dress up an outfit just enough but are still so comfy. Great price on these and true to size.
The heel is the perfect height and so easy to walk in. I adore a clear heel because they look great with everything. This is the heel I take when I travel because you can wear them with everything from shorts to dresses.
LET’S TALK DENIM HANGERS
I shared these hangers in my IG story and they were a big hit. I have my friend Erin to thank for this idea. Look at how much space they save in a closet. And the look is so much neater.
SAVE YOUR SANITY
But I want to save you some frustration. When I first bought them I wasn’t a fan because I struggled to get the jeans on them. I cracked the code ladies!!! The trick is to fold them and lay them on the ground. Slip the hanger up to the middle of your jeans and you’re good to go. Soooo quick and easy.
Works every time and I love this way of hanging denim. Please don’t try to hang them in midair – you’ll be mad at me for suggesting child sized hangers. Definitely go for the on the floor method.
If you are still shopping for Father’s Day, I put together a curated and concise list of ideas here. Excited for Ryan to open this grill pan. And if you missed this week’s Saturday Shopping post you can catch it here.
Make it a great Monday!
