Life Lately

We had some AMAZING weather this past week! Spring is teasing us, gifting us with some incredible 60 degree temperatures!

Tilly has been living her best life with long, long walks. She LOVES sunshine!

We also got the patio cushions out of the garage rafters.

We’ve been enjoying sitting outside and taking in the fresh, Spring-like air.

Finally, here’s miss Molly, being her cute, cute self 🙂

My sister has been taking Molly to the park by their house and she’s been LOVING going down the slides!

Weekly Shopping Finds- Things I’m Loving Lately

I recently updated our pillowcases and pillow shams. I really wanted to go with 100% cotton. I went with these pillowcases and these shams. Love them both!!
Do you love a good matcha?? For a healthier version, I use these tea bags, then froth almond milk separately and add it to the brewed tea with a little honey. SO yummy!
I’ve also been updating my wardrobe for Spring with basic pieces that go with everything. These joggers are JEAN material…WHAT?! They are SO comfortable and are currently 60% off!
While you’re at it, check out these joggers, which are also 60% off right now AND also super comfy!!
I’m really into moss decor for Spring. These little moss bunnies are so adorable and can fit anywhere!
How cute are these placemats for an Easter table?!
This dress is so lovely for Easter or a festive Spring occasion such as a wedding, concert, or birthday party!

On the Blog-Journey Jots #72

This past Thursday, I shared a brand new post all about styling the mantel for Spring using vintage milk glass. Milk glass is the most timeless decor item. Due to that, the mantel display is one of my favorite Spring vignettes that I’ve created!

Easter will be here before we know it! If you are looking to create some cute decor for the holiday, why not craft bunny ornaments using stencils?? In this post, I share how to easily make wooden bunny ornaments to use on an Easter tree or Spring garland!

Finally, I think we all can agree budget-friendly ANYTHING is the way to go…amiright?! In this post, find practical tips on easy Spring decorating with thrifted finds. These ideas can be used for any room in your home!
