1 – ROSES
Happy Saturday and happy June! My roses wanted to say hello too. :)
2 – FAMILY/POOL CHAIRS
Today’s post is full of life lately around here (with some fun finds mixed in!). I’m apologizing in advance for the massive picture dump!
We had such a fun weekend with my sister and her crew in town last weekend and the sand throughout my home this week was proof that it happened. Lots of good food and the kids lived at the beach!
Ad tried on her cap and gown since they couldn’t stay long enough to see her graduate.
And we thanked grandma for the sweetest gifts she sent down with Aunt Carly. Natural Ice chapstick for me and a Starbucks gift card for Ad.. she knows us well. :)
{flamingo}
We are in our cloudy era at the moment but that doesn’t keep anyone away from the pool. Always a good day when our pink flamingo gets pulled out for another season. :)
{duck float/poolside chairs}
Kole picked up the duck float last year since he felt like the flamingo belonged to the girls. He wasn’t wrong. Ha. Aside from our flamingo and duck float we now have another pool accessory we can’t live without.. how perfect are these poolside chairs!? GENIUS. We especially love them in the evening when we hot tub because we like to stay out and visit for hours but it’s easy to overheat so there are always a couple of people taking a break and getting out to cool off.
Now we have a comfy spot to sit and visit with back support! These would also be perfect for sporting events or camping or tailgating. Easy to carry and they come in lots of colors. Such a game changer!
Always a good time when Aunt Carly comes to visit.
3 – PB FINDS
{faux mixed bundle}
This mixed bundle is so beautiful and on sale at the moment! It had to come home with me.
So did these fluted tulip pots. So beautiful for summer. They come in white too!
{flickering flameless candles/shell vase filler/glazed terracotta bowl}
I thought this was so pretty for summer too! Just a bowl with shells and candles. Simple but it makes such a statement.
4 – WORKOUT CLOTHES
{mesh workout tank/beyond yoga sports bras}
I have been on the hunt for good casual workout wear for our European trip because we are on bikes so much the first week! Love these cute finds and I’m especially excited about these sports bras. I tried one on and it was so comfortable and such a perfect fit I had to pick up one more!
{Vuori sunrise racerback tank/Vuori ribbed cropped tee}
These are staples I already have in other colors.. picked up a few more for our trip!
5 – NORDSTROM SALE

6 – LIFE LATELY/GRADUATIONS
Getting ready to watch our baby graduate from middle school! The past few days have been a blur of excitement winding down the last week of school. Parties, class Disneyland days, teacher gifts, a birthday, dinners and two graduations.. to say that we are tired at our house is an understatement. But we made it! It has been a May to remember.
{excite sandal}
I wore these cute heels for his graduation. Not the best angle/pic (ha) but they go with everything and are so cute for summer! Very comfortable for a heel too. I love them with my beloved Anthro jumpsuit.
The 4 musketeers. :) Love these boys and I can’t believe how quickly they are growing up. They are starting high school in the fall and after having two girls go though high school I know how fast it flies! As sad as I am about my girls moving the upside is that I will really be able to focus on Kole and spend so much time with him. Whether he likes it or not. :)
Ad missed his graduation because she was at Disneyland with her senior class and then Kole went the next day with his classmates. Such different experiences for me that I had to laugh. Addison was texting me the whole day she was there.. sending pictures and video clips of her and her friends.. at one point they all called and chatted with me. I basically felt like I was at Disneyland with her! Then she came home and we stayed up late and I heard about everything in even more detail. Kole goes the next day and I sent him a few messages on the bus which he answered with one word answers. Yes. No. Fine. Then at the park he sends me a text saying “I’m here.. love you. Stop texting.” Ha ha. That was the last time I talked to him until it was time to pick him up! He came home and again.. one word answers about his day. Yes. No. Fine.
What was I saying about that upside again?
This is going to be a MAJOR adjustment having my girls gone.
Ad turned 18 this week! Officially an adult! She kicked off the day with a free Pink Drink from Starbucks so she was living her best life.
{initial necklace}
My girls love initial necklaces as much as I do so I gave her this for one of her birthday gifts. So pretty! I love the layered look and it’s such a good price. I don’t think she’ll take it off all summer.
Cap decorating time! Bring on the glitter. These 3 besties got to work decorating their caps for gradation and they turned out so cute! Such a fun tradition.
Ad is off to Texas in the fall!
She is excited and so are we. We are going to miss her terribly but I have no doubt exciting things are in her future.
Exciting things are in my future too! I’m buying cowboy boots and looking forward to lots of time at Magnolia. ;)
Her graduation was Friday and I went really early to wait in line at the gate so we could get good seats because she was speaking. The rest of my crew came later and saved me with a sandwich for lunch! I had a bag packed with an umbrella for the sun, a jacket if it was cool, water, my computer, tissues.. everything you could think of other than food! Ha.
Worth it being close enough to see this beautiful smile. :)
{puff sleeve linen dress/raffia sandals}
The ceremony went so well.. it was a perfect day and we are so proud of her.
Proud of all of her cute friends too and I won’t post too many of the friend pics we took today but these 2 are pretty much family at this point! :)
A couple shots from her senior pictures. I’ll be back to organizing and decorating all the things soon! Thank you for letting me take a break to share family events this month! So many of you have watched my kids grow up on the blog and the love and support you have given me and my family means so much. I’m forever grateful for my blog family! You have celebrated the good and helped me through difficult times more than you know. And to all moms of seniors this year I’m sending a huge hug! Without the tissues this time because I used them all.
Every. Last. One.
But I’m not sad anymore! I have Kole to keep me company and lots of deep conversations to look forward to.
;)
xoxo, Erin
