How I Did With My Summer Bucket List

With just days left before we say 'so long' to summer, I thought I'd do a recap on how we did in regards to my summer bucket list. Warning - this post is picture overload.

 

1. Trip to an aquarium

2. Berry picking 

3. Drive-in movie
4. Sussex County Fair
5.  Fireworks
6. Outdoor concerts7. High Line
8. Mini-golf9. Splash park
10. Lemonade stand
11. Zoo trip12. Family game night
13. Paint seashells
14. Plant flowers15. Read a book a month -- shamefully did not get through one full book all summer

...and of course, lots of time at both the beach and lake houses.

Above is my original list with all of the activities we completed crossed out, but also feel like it's worth adding a few additions:

1. Ella attended her first wedding

2. Beach Jam -- sooo much fun!

3. Made an enormous DIY slip & slide

4. BBQs with friends

5. Boating

Regardless of how many activities we did/did not complete, summer 2018 was very good to us and I'm sad to see it go. I am, however, super excited for what fall has in store.

Stay tuned for my fall bucket list.

Happy Monday!

Happy Labor Day!

Happy Labor Day!

It's been a busy summer and while I'm sad for it to come to an end, I'm excited for what fall has in store.

I'll be posting a summer bucket list recap shortly so stay tuned for that.

All Black for Summer

dress (c/o) // bag // hat // sandals (similar under $100)

While I'm usually all about the LWD for summertime, I fell in love with this lacy black number the minute I laid eyes on it!

For one, I'm always a sucker for a summery dress with sleeves. They're a rare find, but perfect for a chilly office.

Also, this one reminds me of a LoveShackFancy dress I had been lusting over, but for a fraction of the price.

Side note, Zaful's sizing can be tricky but luckily they usually provide detailed measurements. I'm wearing a size Large when I typically wear Small or X-Small. I went by the measurements provided and am so happy that I did. It fits perfectly - also, use code "ZFAnniversary" for up to $12 off of orders $100+!

Happy Monday everyone!

Ella's Candy Land

Anyone who knows me/has been following me over the years, knows I'm a sucker for a good theme party AND for a good DIY crafting session.

This year, I asked my daughter what kind of party she wanted. She immediately responded that she wanted a candy party. And so, I present to you, Ella's Candy Land.

My dress:  similar

Ella's dress:  Siaomimi from Little Skye Boutique

Centerpieces, cake and all decor - DIY (email me for details)

Wishing you all a wonderful weekend!

Post title is an ode to my tiny princess -- the person who made me a mama. "Mommayyyy!" is the way she summons me -- every morning -- from her crib, and it's truly music to my ears ♥

Wishing all of the wonderful, hardworking, dedicated, selfless mommayyyyys out there the happiest Mother's Day!
