Good morning. How was your weekend? Ours was a nice mix of being productive and time well spent with friends. Spring is in full effect here in Tennessee so we are enjoying the green backdrop to life right now. Although it hit me that we are just weeks away from moving our daughter home from her sophomore year in college – how??? Here is a look back at life lately with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.
TULIP SEASON
Nothing better than tulip season. I just wish they lasted longer in the yard. Trader Joe’s for the win on these. So beautiful.
SPRING DOWNTOWN
Downtown Franklin shines in the spring. It’s just so pretty. We had blue skies and perfect temps so no complaints here.
A MUST WHEN VISITING
Hester & Cook is a favorite of ours. It always reminds me of my mom. She was the quintessential host and this store has everything you would need to welcome guests.
DAY DATE
When your handbag fits right in! Ryan and I had a fun day date in downtown Franklin. A couple hours of just wandering in and out of shops and an appetizer at House of Spirits. And this cute crossbody is a favorite of mine.
DARLING LAMP
Stumbled upon this cordless lamp at Target. It’s a cute one! Would be really pretty on a kitchen counter or in a built in. Truly it would be adorable anywhere.
A GAME CHANGER FOR ME
This might not be for everyone but it has been a complete game changer for me. This is the Hatch and I LOVE it. I started putting my phone in the bathroom the last couple of years. That on it’s own has been great for sleep and my nervous system. But I still would wake up to the annoying phone alarm each morning and have to go turn it off. It was an abrupt way to wake up to say the least.
The Hatch takes you back to old school times. . .no phone! I choose the non subscription route but still wake up to morning light and birds chirping. It’s a dream!! It is crazy how much it changes the way you wake up. I think it’s responsible for me waking up naturally now . . . about ten minutes before the morning light on the Hatch begins to glow. If you are wanting to cut the cord on your phone, this could be a good solution. It’s not inexpensive but to me it’s worth it.
JUST SO CUTE
Girls, these are so cute!! Comfy right away and adorable. They go with everything.
NAUTICAL VIBES
This is one of those outfits that you put on and don’t want to take off. It’s all so comfortable and lightweight. The pants fit really well and are comfy for this time of the year (wearing a size small). I am wearing this kitten heel with them. I am 5’7″ for reference. The cashmere top is a good price and comes in a ton of colors. The navy is fun with this collar (it’s so fun to put under any pullover).
BUY ONE GET ONE FREE
Ambercrombie is crushing it right now. Love this outfit! And there is a buy one get one free sale happening, too. Top and bottom are just so cute.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT
In case you missed it, I shared a post on ideas for graduation gifts. Things at all price points. . .but I stuck to things Riley loved and ideas from people who raved about their gifts. It’s a concise and intentional list and I hope it’s helpful.
And if you missed Saturday Shopping, it was a really fun one. Get caught up here.
What is on your agenda this week? I am off for an early morning walk and then hitting the ground running. I hope you have a wonderful start to your week.
