The Everyday Edit - June 9th
sweet summertime + this week's scoop.
Hi friends!
Happy Monday, I hope you all had a fun weekend! We spent the weekend outside every second we could and tackled a big to do list before the summer packed weekend schedule begins! Thanks for all the feedback on my 10 Things I Loved in May post I shared last week, it was fun to write and reflect on the month and I hope gave you a glimpse into my life these days.
Speaking of, let's get into this week's brain dump:
-Based on all my DMs and question box questions last week, everyone has outdoor entertainment and patio season on their mind. The top request was for what outdoor table we own and do we like it? We own the Polywood Farmhouse Table and LOVE it. This is our 3rd summer owning it and we truly are obsessed because it is entirely weather resistant, meaning very low maintenance. We can leave it outside all year round and besides having to wipe it off, it requires zero upkeep. We have the largest size (fits 8-10) because we entertain a lot, but the most popular size is their 7 pc Farmhouse Table. Right now Wayfair is offering free full service delivery (they set it up and take away all the packaging) which costs an additional $300+ on Polywood's site.
-My son's 7th birthday is next month and I ordered this adorable Cecil and Lou monogrammed hat for him with his initials.
-I feel like my kids are outgrowing shoes non-stop right now or my boys are just super rough on them and go through a pair in months! I just ordered this adorable pair of Nike's for both my 19 month old and almost 7 year old so they can match. They are on sale right now from Nordstrom Rack! Also, as a reminder, this foot measuring device is key to own so you aren't guessing your kids shoe size as they grow.
-Our favorite boys swim shorts that have the compression short liners are now offered in two adorable new styles - a fun seersucker material and a retro style.
-I have been shopping high and low for a wedding dress for one of my best friend's weddings that is coming up soon. I stopped in Anthropologie last week and didn't find a dress, but picked up this adorable butter yellow top for summer!
Let's get you up to speed on what else you may have missed last week! xoxo

There are so many sunscreen options out there and I am really enjoying this (new to me) brand this year for my kids - Babo Botanicals. It is a clean and safe sheer mineral zinc option that has a really nice lightweight formula. I bought the lotion for my younger kids to send to daycare with them and I bought the sunscreen stick version for my oldest who needed a stick for camp.
Target Skort
The warm weather is here to stay! I am living in skorts this season! This one from Target is my favorite style, I love the bright blue color, and the retro piping. I bought the black one this weekend because I am obsessed and it is also available in yellow and gingham print. The fit is perfection it is true to size and is so comfortable.
