Hello and happy Friday!
How was your week? We had a really good one!
I’m linking up with Andrea to tell you a bit about it.

Here are a few favorites from the week:
Hadley’s recital pics came in, and I couldn’t love them more. There were so many good ones, but these are the two I ordered:


Last weekend was super busy, and all of Sunday was spent at Hadley’s dance recitals. Her studio had two recitals. The first recital was the one where she had most of her dances, so my mom, Trav’s mom, Trav’s two sisters, and Travis and Hayden came to it. She danced in the large production opening number, one small group competition dance, two ballet, one tap, one jazz, and the closing number.
For the later performance, she was in the large production opening number, her other small group lyrical competition dance, and the closing number.
I loved all the colors in the background of each dance…so pretty!
So, over nine hours at the recital venue for two recitals with ten dances and seven costumes, she was one tired girl!

Hadley was also recognized for five years dancing at her studio.

We snapped a few pics after the first recital before grabbing a bite to eat. Then, my mom and I stayed for the second recital. We were all very proud of her.

Monday I had a busy day at school, Hayden played a round of golf with friends, and Hadley was at the pool for most of the day.
My mom continued her visit and watched the kids while Travis and I took a little trip.
We spent a few days at Julep Farms in Dillard, Georgia. I’m sure I will write a whole post about it, but it was a lovely getaway.
We stayed in the Magnolia cottage…

…which had the loveliest views.

Wednesday night, we even had dinner on the property.
Since we were dressed up a bit, we did a selfie using the timer on my phone. I sure missed having Hadley to take our photos…she always gets the high angle…haha
This one turned out pretty good!

Favorite Outfit:
I think I shared this SSYS dress when I got it in the spring, but this summer I’ve used it as a swim cover-up a couple of times, but then wore it to my brother’s birthday party on Saturday. I also got this belt bag recently…I wanted one that was a little bigger than my Lulu one, and this one is perfect.

Favorite Mom Meme:
Haha…I shared a similar meme last week…but this one also made me laugh.

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday
My sister-in-law had these cups made for my brother’s birthday party last Saturday…This “throwback” pic is too funny…

Weekly Recap
I only had a couple of posts this week, but they were fun link ups!
What are your weekend plans? Today, I’m playing catch up from being gone for a couple of days…and I need to prep a bit for the summer school sessions I’m running the next couple of weeks.
Of course, on Sunday, we’ll celebrate Travis for Father’s Day. My dad received his gift yesterday and is probably using it while watching the US Open.
Thanks so much for reading,


Hadley looks stunning! Did she do her own eye makeup? I need tips! I love your little getaway and that cottage is so cute. How did you find out about it? I am always amazed when people find these cute places. I love the floral dress and the lavender dress, too. And, that belt bag seems to be a great size – might need to look into that. My fave cross body is showing its wear and I need to replace it but I am also thinking about gold!
Oh, summer school…that sounds horrible to me right now. I am still coming off of the school year!

She does all her own makeup. I think she used to watch you tube videos / tips from dance friends. A girl trav works with told him about julep farm. I really wish we stayed one more day. I was just starting to relax 😆 my two purses this summer have been my crossbody like you have and then that belt bag. I even hiked with the belt bag and it wasn’t too much. I just like that it holds a bit more …my kindle even fits in there. 🙂
