Hello, friends! I hope that you all have had a fantastic week! What do you have going on this weekend?

So, our family just returned from a trip to Arizona to visit close friends and family! We truly had the BEST vacation! One of the highlights was visiting the Phoenix Children’s Museum {pictured above}. We had been there just once before… four years ago. It was just as fun the second time around! I highly recommend going, if you’re in the area! In fact, we always research children’s museums whenever we are in a new city! It’s such a great way to explore, in a kid-friendly way, when you’re traveling this summer!  [Read more…]

I’m just dreamin’ of Hawaii over here… reminiscing of my trip to Maui {which seems like a distant memory at this point}! I came across this print {which you see above ^^^} and loved it! You should see the others! Anyway… after a long week {with my husby away at work for days and days on end}, I’m also dreaming of warm, laid-back summer days, eating alfresco,  family getaways, and gatherings with close friends and family! How about you? Any fun plans for the summer that you’re daydreaming about? 

This weekend for lovelies, we have a fun mix of pretty summer things! We hope that you’re as smitten with them, as we are! In case you missed this week’s posts… you can take a peek at them here and here! {xo}

  1. Loving this shop on etsy for modern party goods, invites, and custom stationary! 
  2. This perfectly designed  house in the LBC! {Swoon!} 
  3. 3 reboot, superfood juice recipes!

Choose joy ....

:: Weekend Lovelies // doTERRA Giveaway Winner ::

I love the quote above… it’s such a good reminder that we need to choose joy daily. It’s honestly more of a mindset, don’t you think? Some people are so good at seeing the bright side of things, finding the good in all circumstances, and learning life’s lessons in every trial. For others, it’s definitely a struggle.

I tend to be one of those optimistic people… however lately, I’m not sure if I’d describe myself as such. Life has a way of wearing you out, doesn’t it? I know I’ve written about this before… but for me personally, I get bogged down with the day-to-day things of being a stay-at-home, homeschooling mama to four young children. I have this internal fight in me of wanting to go back to my profession as a school psychologist, but then also wanting to stay home with my kids during these years when they’re little. Of course, there is more than the mundane day-to-day things that get me down at times… it’s also the situational things that arise, as well. [Read more…]

So, before we move on to our lovelies… how was your week? I celebrated my 36th birthday {gulp!} this past Tuesday! {I’m honestly starting to lose track!} Nicole was so thoughtful in dedicating her delicious Tres Leche Cupcake post to me! {Thanks, my friend… that was super sweet!} My family and I spent the day at the beach {my favorite place}, soaking up the crazy warm weather we’ve been having in Southern California! It was a wonderful day! Good food, sandy toes, warm sunshine, lots of smiles, and playing in the ocean always makes for a fabulous day! I am so thankful for another year! [Read more…]
