Slow Down

This week has me focusing more on slowing down, and making a conscious effort to really divide my time in a healthy way.  I'm a chronic over-commiter, so hooray for day planners to help make that a little easier.  ;)

This is a close-up of my bulletin board.  So many good memories displayed here.  :)
I hope you are having a good week so far!

Weekly Wears: Mother, Daughter

One of our summertime "hobbies" is eating ice cream.  That counts as a hobby, right?  Last summer we went for ice cream almost everyday... to the point where I had to quit the cream for a bit.  We are a family who gets really into whatever we're into.  One day I'll tell you about the vacation that made me quit pizza for a few months.

Hope's details: vintage top, cut-off Levi's, flats from Marshall's, headband from Claire's, sunglasses from the mall
Poe's details: vintage romper, shoes from Marshall's, sunglasses from BonLook

Katie's details:  Dress: Sugarhill Boutique c/o ModCloth;  Purse: c/o bali ELF;  Sandals: BC Shoes;  Sunglasses: c/o ModCloth;  Necklace: Maya Brenner

Poe wanted pink ice cream (lavender), I chose green tea, and Hope got salted caramel.  Half-way through Poesy wanted to trade cones, which was fine by me because I LOVE the lavender and didn't fall head-over-heels for the green tea.  I like my green tea ice cream to have a strong tea flavor.  Anyway, I'm sure I could talk about ice cream for a good while.  It was a nice day, and we learned that Poe is much better off with a bowl + spoon combo than a cone.  ;)

Do you have any summer traditions?  We seem to have a lot of them!

I saw so much love for dads on IG yesterday for Father's Day.  It's nice to see such an outpour of love for such a special person.  Dads are so important.

I hope your weekend was great!  We've got a super busy week in front of us around here and I'm looking forward to diving right in!  Happy Monday!
