Good morning. I’d like to know how we are almost half way through April. Time is flying and I’m not ready for all things birthday and graduation next month. It’s safe to say I need to spend some time planning the next few weeks today. I’ll be posting ideas for graduation gifts in the next couple of days which I hope is helpful. Extremely grateful for spring weather and really wonderful time spent with friends this past weekend. Here is a look back with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
BEAUTIFUL TIME OF YEAR
The afternoon light on these trees always takes my breath away. It’s almost as if they have been plugged in they get so bright and green. Tennessee spring has my heart forever.
THE FACTORY
The Factory in Franklin is one of our favorite spots to meet up with friends. So many great restaurants, outdoor seating and a great vibe. If you have young children, this spot is fantastic because there is room for them to run around (even inside) and one of the most beautiful carousels I’ve ever seen.
DATE NIGHT
With the weather being so nice we headed out for date night. Always nice when we can wear shorts again. This sweater is a great spring piece. I’ve worn it so much already. Similar shorts found here.
LIVE MUSIC, PLEASE
We love to go anywhere with live music. Culinary Dropout never disappoints with that. Plus there is a Jeni’s Ice Cream right next to it!
HOME EARLY
Anyone else enjoy going out early and being home in sweats by 7:30?! It’s our favorite. And it’s officially fire pit season so we will be here if you need us. I always say it’s the best thing to invest in . . . especially if you have children. The conversations around the fire pit are unmatched.
PRETTY TARGET FIND
I popped into Target and this pretty number caught my eye. I love the colors (might only be available in store). There is also a lovely vase with this same print.
TEEN BOY IN THE HOUSE
Tell me you have a teen boy without telling me. The protein pancake stack is never ending.
TIME IN THE GARDEN
This weekend we started some yard work. Our front yard needs some serious work but we also replanted our garden beds. Love growing our own fresh herbs for cooking. If you are local, we get organic herbs and vegetables from the Franklin Farmer’s Market. They had a nice selection this past weekend.
A BEAUTIFUL NEW LINE
The new McGee and Co. magazine arrived and I was drooling over it. Hats of to the entire team as it’s not only a gorgeous new line, but the photography and homes are stunning. I would like to magically jump into this shot.
ADORE THIS DRESS
This might be one of my favorite Walmart pieces to date. I still can’t believe it’s Walmart. And only $36. it’s so good and very comfortable. A great one for vacation because you could style it so many different ways. The striped sweater is from Amazon.
These black Mary Jane’s were a 10/10 purchase. I wear them all the time (Riley does too).
A closer look at the drop waist. This is one of my favorites styles. My beloved sunset necklace can be found here.
SATURDAY SHOPPING
This week’s Saturday Shopping was packed with great deals. So many pretty pieces for spring (plus white graduation dress ideas). You can read the full post here.
How does your week look? Did anyone else have a rough one last week? A few of our friends were all saying we are ready for a new week. I thought this sentiment for a Monday was so beautiful and just what I needed today:
Make it a wonderful day, my friend.
