Monday:

Happy Monday morning to you. How was your weekend? We went for a long bike ride along the NLR river trail, I got stung by a bee, we made the most delicious cookies, ran 3 miles in preparation for a 5K this week, visited a friend in the hospital, and took lots of walks.

Hope your weekend was as fun and rejuvenating as our was. Because we certainly needed it to get through this week.

Happy Weekend:

Happy weekend everyone! I'm excited have some free hours to spend outdoors. The weather has been amazing lately, hasn't it?! I plan on taking advantage of it before it gets insanely hot here. So that means a few bike rides and some long runs. With plenty of sunscreen, of course. There are only a handful of days like this left so lotion up and get out there!

Looks I Love:



So, by now it's no secret that I stalk the J.Crew website. Seriously. And while browsing the other day, I came across these outfits in their "Looks We Love" section. They may as well have called it "Looks You Will Love" because yes, I love them. Probably a little too much. And you will too. Have a look here.

A Walker Comes to Town:

Kristin, 1/4 of the Order, came to Arkansas with her Delaware kids for Spring Break. I only got to see her for a few hours (luckily she's coming back next month) but watching this movie they made while they were here makes me feel like I was around for all the fun.



I love that crazy kid. And her crazy talented brother, who shot and edited the movie. Basically, I am obsessed with that entire family. They're pretty much my family, after all.

Summer Dresses:

We are going to the beach this summer with a group of college friends. I have slowly been collecting summer clothes for Andrew and I since we found out we were going. I've been trying to decide which dresses I want to buy and bring on our trip but can't seem to commit to anything. Everything was either too expensive for a simple cotton summer dress or wasn't anything that really stood out to me. So I've decided to make some dresses. The plan is just a few well-made cotton dresses that I can run around in all summer long, at the beach and here at home. I've been doing some fabric hunting online (our selection in AR pretty much stinks) and have fallen in love with a few options over at Spoonflower. If you've never heard of Spoonflower, it's a website where designers (and normal people too) can upload their designs and have them printed onto fabric. And people can buy them. They offer different fabrics including cotton and silk. A's sister Maggie turned me onto them a few years ago and I've been obsessed ever since.

And so after spending hours checking out fabrics, here is what I'm thinking:



So I can have the dresses that I want in the fabrics that I want for much less than what they would cost at any store. And much better quality. Because I am obsessed with the tiniest details when it comes to garments.

Monday:



Happy Monday morning! Here's a little something to make you laugh. Because you can never have too many laughs on a Monday. Especially after a week like last week.

Happy Weekend:


Oh weekend, I thought you'd never get here. I almost didn't make it. I don't have any big plans for you. I just want to sleep and eat. Maybe go for a run. You know, just relax.
