First Weekend of Spring

We had friends visiting this weekend from Iowa & California for a baby shower that we hosted at our house. Our good friends are due with their first baby boy at the end of April, shortly after Eloise’s birthday. We were able to get our hammocks out, which made the girls very happy, Harper was more excited about using sticks as princess wands but Eloise loves swinging! It was the perfect first weekend of Spring, a house full of our favorite people & lots of sunshine!
white embroidered dress is vintage, similar styles here & here.

We hit up a local Mexican restaurant with friends while my parents stayed with the girls after we put them to bed, did a little shopping at the new outdoor mall near us & had a giant group breakfast at the Pancake House before everyone flew home. Always so much fun & thanks again to all of our friends for coming to visit!! 
Spring has me feeling so refreshed & inspired, I have lots of fun stuff to share this week & hopefully a few new prints going up in the shop. We also have a summer line of koozies on their way, and yes I can’t wait to float in the pool after baby girl arrives with a cold one of my own! Hope you all had an amazing weekend!! XO

    Spring is having me feeling fresh and invigorated too! Nothing better than that fresh air.

    You look fabulous. You don't even look pregnant in that dress, girl!

    That dress is super cute. You are so photogenic, I'm jealous.
    It's interesting to watch Eloise come into her own. She still looks like Harper but you can tell she has a different personality

    Hi, I love your blog! It actually inspired me to write one of my own! Anyways, I have always wondered if you follow any fitness programs? You always look so great, and as a mom of an 8-month old, I struggle to get to the gym (I like my sleep) and always eat healthy.

    I wish spring would come here!!! #minneSNOWtawintersneverends…and for the record, I LOVE that your hubby has a string attached to the swing for E. That is a brilliant idea 🙂

    What a fun weekend! I couldn't believe it when I saw your dress – I have the same one! Does yours have a line of little embroidered people above the bust? Looks like they're identical! I picked mine up at a local vintage shop and altered it to shorten the sleeves – they were long and cuffed when I bought it. Maybe they were massed produced "back in the day"? 🙂 Or maybe it's just a very popular pattern? Too funny. It looks fantastic on you!

    Wait, do you have it worked out to where you can swing the babies with a string?! How ingenious! 🙂 May have to figure out how to do that at our house!

They also surprised US with an Easter egg hunt around the house with recycled Easter eggs filled with hand written notes and coupons to cash in for hugs, compliments, etc. How did we get here?! The girls could hardly sleep Saturday night bursting with excitement to host our friends & neighbors for donuts in the morning, they were up before the sun ready to start setting the tables & rolling dough. For everyone reading this with babies & toddlers, just know that all of those sweet traditions you are creating will make a home in their hearts, and one day they’ll be the ones making the magic for you. 🤍🤍🤍
