Navy & Pearls

Bag: Modalu

Welcome back from the holiday! I hope you had a delightful day filled with family, fireworks and fun. Our day was incredibly relaxing even though it felt like we were melting most of the day. It has been so hot in Utah this week! We began the day with a family breakfast, followed by a mid-afternoon viewing of Independence Day (you can’t go wrong with Jeff Goldblum) and stellar BBQ. The rest of the night we attempted to distract Miss B from all the bangs and pops. This day means so much and I’m extremely grateful I was able to enjoy the day with my family.
This laid back dress was the perfect choice for the day. Completely effortless, but adaptable with some heels. It was also the perfect day for the inaugural use of my anniversary present! As always, Modalu has created a convenient, stylish bag. There are several colors on sale right now by the way! Isn’t that great news? Check out the Modalu site!

Happy 4th!

Today is my favorite holiday! Of course it’s hard to surpass the spirit and joy of Christmas, but the unmasked patriotism, national pride and overwhelming gratitude seem to give the 4th a bit of a lead. There’s nothing better than being with family on this special day. I’m so grateful to live in this beautiful city, state and of course, country. So, from our family (including Miss B) to yours, have a wonderful Independence Day!

Life Lately

Have you seen the commercial about more pictures being taken with the iPhone than other device? It’s somehow extremely sentimental and touching! But really. It is. Well, I’ve always tried to take several pictures daily whether I post them or not and this commercial has only reinforced the habit. This has been our life this week! There have been scrapbooking, yummy treats, hiking (ugh) and even becoming addicted to a new show. Thanks to this addictive new show, I’ve become the biggest baby. My poor husband has to close the blinds before I enter a room at night and make sure A isn’t hiding in the back of my car. Haha. If you haven’t watched it, give it a try! Have a great week!
