Alllll the things for the new house! We close next week and want to get started on the renovations ASAP once that happens. This week we finalized our kitchen plans, looked at about 200 flooring samples, and need to get started on the master bath design STAT. I haven’t been on Pinterest so much in years!

We are going to Captiva in July with a smaller group of people this year – it will just be us, my mom, step-dad, and brother. My step-dad is actually a contractor and will be helping us renovation the new house so I’m sure we will all be needing this vacation once it’s done! While I’m super excited to go to our favorite place, I’m positive there are going to be tough moments because it will be our first trip to the place we’ve vacationed our whole life since my little brother passed away in October.

I was rich and could hire an interior designer to help me make all these house decisions. I know what I like but all the options and price points makes my head spin! I actually did hire a friend of a friend who’s a designer to come help me with the exterior of the house because I just could not wrap my head around it. She was SO helpful and I wish I could afford to employ her full time for the next few months, ha!

I’m so thrilled with my decision to purchase these workout pants. I know I mentioned them in Tuesday’s Amazon post but they are worth repeating! I have the pomberry colored ones but have my eye on that purple luster, so pretty. I’m not going to be basic and call them Lululemon dupes (mainly because I’ve only owned one piece of LL clothing in my life so I have no idea about such things) but they are really great! Size one down if you like a lot of compression.

After we celebrate my brother’s high school graduation one last time this weekend, we will be done celebrating things until July 4th I think! Camden was OBSESSED with everything 4th of July related last year so hopefully that continues this year. After Christmas, July 4th is by far my favorite holiday!
May’s Top Purchased Items
1. Daily Ritual Shorts – A RECORD number of you scooped up these shorts from Amazon at the mere mention of them! I hope you are loving these shorts as much as me. The are the best looking casual shorts I’ve ever owned!
2. Rattan Earrings – To say I’m obsessed with these earrings would be a complete understatement! (I have the ones listed under “B Round”) I basically take them off to sleep then put them right back on.
3. iSteam Steamer – I hope that my post just made you all remember you needed a new one of these and not that you have never used one but if that is the case…you’re welcome. Put. The. Iron. Down. my friends!
4. BP Aviators – I actually sat on these the other day (more like JUMPED into my car from the rain and fell on top of them) so I need to order another pair. The only reason I didn’t cry was because they are only $16 with free shipping. YAS.
5. Universal Thread Pocket V-Neck Tee – Can’t beat these $8 tees! (Side note: The shorts pictured here are also AMAZING and on sale for less than $14!)
May’s Top Clicked Items
1. V-neck Doloman Tee – You all need to stop sleeping on this tee and just GET IT! The fit is so flattering and the quality is top notch!!
2. Crewneck Linen Tee – I randomly posted about this tee as a part of a big Target order I was waiting for and I was super sad this top didn’t work for me. It’s sooo cute!
3. Baby Girl Headbands – Lucy’s headbands are always a popular click! $16 with Prime shipping for 10 adorable bows? It’s really hard not to be excited about that! She wears these daily. We also have this set by the same seller!
4. Straw Panama Hat – I finally wore this hat over the weekend and forgot to snap a picture. Blogger fail. Buy guys, it’s SO good! You can not beat the price or quality of this hat.
5. Simple Joys Baby Girl Set – I bought this set in pink for my niece! This is Carter’s brand for Amazon and the quality is just what you would expect from Carter’s. (Which I think is decent in terms of kid’s clothes!)
Usually I would also do a “Top 5 Blog Posts” recap but seeing as I only post four times in May, it seems a little silly to do that. If you want to check out that premium content just go ahead and scroll back. 
I always get a little sentamental doing these posts because I’m just so grateful to do this with you all! Thank you for all of your support. Every time you read a post, leave a comment, click a link, or buy something I recommended it makes my heart soar. I’m so grateful!
