Boho Summer

 

:: Boho Summer ~ Style Inspiration ::

 

We love our Polyvore site! It allows us to be creative in piecing styles, products, and brands together. Have you tried it yet? You can use one of their fun templates, or just randomly put your favorite images together like I did below. Either way… it’s fun, and you can even pin your finished sets as we’ve done in our “Dream Closet” Pinterest Board so you can share with others! I’m loving the easy, flowing, Boho style … perfect for summer! Click on the image below to view the product details! Have a wonderful day!

I Heart My Hot Rollers

** I Heart My Hot Rollers **

My friends and family know that I am addicted to hot rollers. I have been using them since my stepmom introduced me to her Con Air Rollers as a little girl.  My Mom, like most of you, would roll our hair up in sponge curlers the night before a special occasion so that we would have bouncy Shirley Temple curls for pictures.  I think that hot rollers are the easiest way to add a little volume while styling your hair.  I use them a minimum of three times a week and I have owned two sets of rollers since high school.  If you do the math, these things are indestructible.  Let’s just say if my house was on fire and you asked me to take a few beauty products with me, these would be one of the first things I would grab {wink}.

Weekend Lovelies is here… and it’s all about  l o v e {which I guess is what it’s usually about}! Love & support for Boston, love for yourself, a little fashion, parenting advice for raising well-rounded kids, and a few sweet treats you can make in a single-serving {less guilt that way}! 

Hope you all have some fun plans over the weekend! What are you up to? Husby and I are off on a little roadtrip with the littles… in our quest for the simple life! Wish us luck! God willing… big changes ahead {wink, wink}!

Have a lovely weekend! {xo}

 

{Behind the Cover // Boston Magazine}

The cover of the May issue of the Boston Magazine features 120 running shoes, all worn in the recent Boston Marathon. It is shaped in a heart and the headline reads, “We Will Finish the Race.” John Wolfson, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, said that the idea behind the photo was to honor the bombing victims and the entire city for its response to the tragedy. He stated that “Every single shoe contributed a tiny bit to the overall effect, but collectively, you have something powerful.”

We happen to love the spirit of this photo. We are all standing behind Boston…

Visit The One Fund Boston to make a donation to help the victims {and their families} affected by the tragic events that occurred at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013. 

 

 

 

{Real Beauty Sketches // Dove}

This has been floating around the web all week… and we really do love it. We all need to focus on loving ourselves… and perhaps seeing ourselves from other people’s perspectives. I, for one, am guilty of this… I thought it was beautifully portrayed and a real eye-opener.

Happy Weekend Lovelies!

Monday, April 22nd,  is Earth Day!

This weekend is a wonderful time to celebrate “Mother Earth!”

A great excuse to step outside and do something positive for the environment.

This weekend’s lovelies are an ode to the Earth and a bright and breezy spring.

Sara and I love Instagram.

We have been enjoying the app for some time personally, but we thought it would

be wonderful to share with our readers our favorite finds in life!

A little mixture of people, places, and of course pictures of food!

Head on over to Instagram and follow our adventures!

Of course the week we headed back to school, it ended up being warm and sunny!

Sara was able to squeeze in a little beach time with her youngest kiddos, 

and I paid a wonderful visit to The Ecology Center in San Juan Capistano.

It is the perfect place to enjoy and spend Earth Day!

They have wonderful resources ranging from school programs,

to classes on sustainability gardening and recycling.

Here are some positive ways to celebrate and contribute towards the environment:
