Happy Friday! I'm taking a break from my Fearless Friday to share my favorite summer #ootd's with ya...just for fun. The reality is the humidity has dropped and there are leaves on my driveway which means my head is swirling with swoon-worthy NYFW imagery and visions of leather and sweaters!
Read MoreSeptember is here! Break out the pumpkins and the hoodies and the lattes. Fall always evokes a sense of excitement at our house. We are all REALLY big fans of brisk mornings, football and blankets. As cliche as it sounds, it's true and I am not ashamed to admit it. Having children has only exacerbated our love for Fall!
This breezy, top...just one more spin with summer though while the temps hold up. It is 90 degrees today, after all.
Read MoreAnother mother just informed me today that this week is the last week of gymnastics for the girls. Since I am always on top of my game; this came as no surprise...NOT! What? The last week of camp? That means summer is coming to a close which is just utterly depressing!

Craving citrus and frozen treats as the temps soar today.
Read MoreI haven't forgotten about blogging. I swear. It's just...well, I really needed some time off and that came in the form of a holiday weekend. It was SO nice to unplug and not worry. Just be present! I talk a big game but it's rare that I really follow through all the way.
How was your weekend by the way? From concerts to BBQ's to parades, birthday's and fireworks...I was one happy but exhausted girl and so was my little family. The proof? My little ones woke up at 9:15am today which they've NEVER done...ever. In the history of being alive! The house was so quiet!
Read MoreIf this weekend was any indication of how this summer is going to be - I am excited for an awesome summer! We explored Randolph Market, grilled out with friends, celebrated my birthday via date night and hung with our cousins. It was jam packed but super fun!
And we must thank the weather gods because they really delivered!

The family and I jetted off to Hilton Head last week for our annual beach vacation. It was wonderfully slow, full of delicious seafood and rid of any of the previous week's work anxiety. Just what the doctor ordered.
Read MoreThe thing about rain is that while it sucks after days of it; it does some pretty rad things for the local greenery. The only thing that has been "enhanced" in these photos is my aging complexion! Ha!
I was shopping for Mother's Day last week when I ran into a friend at the mall. We made a pitstop in Zara when she spotted this top. Normally I would walk right by it. Not sure why but it's true. She convinced me that it would be so great for vacation, etc and minutes later I was at the check out. Well, thank goodness for friends with good sartorial sense because I now adore this top!
