Good Things (May 2018)

Jun52018

Summer is here–and so are my hydrangea blooms. Here’s a short list of more good things I discovered during May.

These slides are fun for Summer. (I ordered the navy.)

Also for Summer: I highly recommend this nail polish color. Great coverage. Mine stayed on almost a week.

This podcast just started, but I think it’s going to make my neighborhood walks go by in a flash.

I recently gave two sets of these personalized notecards as gifts.

I bought these inexpensive earrings–and spray painted them blue. :)

This is a great casual tank. (I had to size down, btw.)

I ordered this book for my kids after seeing their family featured on The Today Show.

I just started using this SPF 30 day cream and love the way it feels.

A great simple halter swimsuit–and it’s on sale.

I’ve had this dress (in black) since last Summer and wore it recently, which reminded me of how good it is for the price.

A reader tipped me off about this chinoiserie-inspired indoor/outdoor pillow. (On sale now.)

Good Things (April 2018)

May12018

My monthly list of some of the good things I’ve discovered lately. . .

In an attempt to write and send more notes of encouragement, I ordered this pretty stationery.

I have and am a big fan of this swimsuit and it’s on sale now for 50% off–plus an extra 20% off with discount code SPRINGTIME.

On the same subject, I ordered this ($11) dress to wear as a coverup. It was actually a lot cuter in person so I probably won’t save it for just the pool.

Love the substantial tassels–and the price–on these pillow covers.

And same store, different department: these cute slides are a great color.

A lot of you have asked about the Bible I use when I’ve posted pictures of it on my Instagram stories. Sadly, I don’t think they make it anymore, but I was happy to find this one that’s almost exactly the same (version, margin size, etc.) and ordered it for my oldest.

I searched high and low for a straw Summer bag that wasn’t a crazy price. In the same week, I found a straw clutch at Goodwill and this $16 bag from Walmart.com. Go figure.

If you like a good t-shirt bra, this is the best one I’ve found in a long time.

I just finished another book by the same author who wrote An American Marriage. I actually think I liked this one even more.

And in what seems like a quest to dress myself from head to toe in Target, I ordered these incredibly comfortable sandals and wide leg cropped jeans from the Universal Thread collection. (As the reviews suggested, I had to size up in the jeans.)

I’m also really liking this colorful jewelry collection–especially these $13 statement earrings.

Good Things (March 2018)

Apr22018

I hope you all had a beautiful Easter Sunday! I’m sharing a few of the good things I discovered over the last month:

I put this framed print in our busy kitchen to remind me I’m having a good time–even when I think I’m not. . .

What I wore for Easter: This floral top and these pants (that I was surprised I liked so much).

I think these baseball caps would make a great Mother’s Day gift (for me).

I’ve only listened to a couple so far but am really enjoying this podcast. (It’s hosted by Lauren Scruggs Kennedy’s mom.)

You might want to order these super soft, lightweight sweatshirts before they go away. I have two colors and kind of wish I could wear them every day. (They’re also very washable; I throw them in and dry them with everything else. No shrinking!)

Another comfortable find: these slip-on sneakers are the best (and under $25).

Home decor author extraordinaire Melissa has a new–and really helpful–organizing book that comes out tomorrow.

This could be fun. eBay just launched a new “under $10” page. Free shipping and no bidding required.

This lightweight parka until the weather makes up its mind.

I bought a couple of these peplum tops for Summer. The fabric is a bit thicker than t-shirt material, and I think they’ll be fun paired with big necklaces.

I always like to share a song I’m loving and this is what I’m playing the most right now. Love the message.

And finally, a little vacation is always a good thing. This week is Spring Break for us and I’m taking some time off to hang out with my people.
