my brain is mush with all this moving/deciding on this and that… so a few thoughts and a few links.

I cried while driving the other day listening to this song (it’s country: you’ve been warned country music haters).  I thought I must be pregnant so I took a test.  spoiler: I’m not.  I’m just insanely emotional, as always.  I love this song b/c I’m actually the one that doesn’t dance- and for our wedding I took lessons.  but “I’d do anything with you(jb) anywhere”.  AND!  as if I needed more of a reason to cry – he wrote it for his first dance at his wedding.  His wife didn’t hear it until they were dancing on their wedding day!  I meannnnn, the sweetest.  the video is actually clips of his wedding.

picking paint is fun!  we’re still debating revere pewter (Benjamin Moore) / linen white (Benjamin Moore) / sea salt (Sherwin Williams) — but will likely use all three just in different parts of the house.

this!  put on that swim suits ladies.  I’d be lying if I told you I’m comfortable in a swim suit.  but life is too short not to jump in.  joy is found swimming in the pool, not on the sidelines covered up. // wear a swim tee ‘or one of these chic pool ready rash guards

my neighbors are precious.  So many of them have reached out to me.  including two just this morning!  feeling so grateful, and like I moved to mayberry.
(just fifteen minutes from where I grew up)

i wear the dress in the photos at least every week, if not a couple times.  perfect length for a momma, chic stripes, and UPF 50!  during this shoot my dress was on backwards, because tuck got a little handsy after watermelon one day.  (:  #momlife

hope you’re all having beautiful, happy weeks!
