Good morning. Waking up grateful for beautiful temperatures and a cool breeze. We absolutely hit the ground running today. It may or may not be one of those weeks where more hours in the day could really help. To all the mamas getting ready to launch your college aged child, I feel it all. Whew. What a layered set of emotions. We soaked in so much family time this weekend which was great for all of us. Here is a look back with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
THAT SKY
Nothing like sparkling water and a sunset to cap off our Sunday evening. The sky last night was something special. Some of our best conversations happen around this fire pit. If you are on the fence about installing one in your own backyard, I can’t recommend it enough. We chose these chairs and they have held up beautifully in all kinds of crazy weather.
DINNER OUTSIDE
tablecloth | woven placemats | glasses | chairs
Because the weather has been so beautiful, we’ve been eating dinner outside. We are still using our Costco folding table so maybe one of these days I will decided on something more permanent. But for now, this works great.
MORNING LIGHT
Always so lovely to see them morning light pour in. I’ve been making an effort to go outside for a few minutes as soon as I wake up for the natural light. So many health benefits and great for our circadian rhythm. When I shared this room in a recent reel, I had questions in my DMs about the paint color. This is Iron Ore by Sherwin Williams.
FAMILY TIME
It was nice to walk around Downtown Franklin with the kids. The weather was ideal and my daughter found a couple of fun things to take to school with her. I am savoring these moments where the four of us are together.
If you are ever visiting Franklin, Landmark Booksellers is a must. Especially if you have book lovers in your family. They have an amazing collection plus first additions of so many books. A specail spot for sure (and a great are for children, too).
WEARING LATELY
These denim shorts and sneakers have been on repeat lately. Love the fit of the shorts and the New Balance are so comfortable. I get compliments each time I wear them. The top is sold out but this one from Target is very similar. And these shorts from Target are a cute option, too.

Send good thoughts our way. Big week over here. Wishing you all a wonderful Monday.
Good luck and best wishes to you for move-in! We are a week behind you. I just can’t believe how quickly time has passed. I hope she has a smooth start to her college era, and that the rest of the family finds their new dynamic normal
(Hoping for the same for my son and family!)
Enjoy these last few days with your daughter! Would you recommend your fire pit? If so, please share the link. Thx!!
