Happy Tuesday y’all! Today is a special day. It’s my person’s 29th birthday. Now he can no longer say I’m older than he is. He only has 15 days on me after all 😉 I’m anxiously awaiting our family dinner to celebrate him. He deserves every bit of it & more!

Once both of our birthday’s roll around, it officially feels like summertime. We’re just a few days away from the first official day of summer so I thought I would share a roundup of my summer goals. Some are silly, some more personal, but with a new season ahead of us I thought it would be fun to share what I’m working toward this time of year.

Oh and on a side note, I’m OBSESSED with this outfit. I can’t stop wearing these sandals and this top is such a fun summer print!

Summer Goals 2018::

• Be present. Being on my phone too many hours of the day is unfortunately part of the job, and I’m admittingly typing this up on the couch with Tyler & the pups. This summer I really want to kick that habit, and spend our nights walking Calvin, cooking out & just enjoying each others company.
• Read! There is nothing like a beach vacay to make me place an amazon order full of beach reads. I read this book & this one on vacation & I forgot how much I loved sitting down with a good book. Since then I’ve read this book (it’s SO GOOD!) & there are so many more on my list for the summer!
• Get comfortable with my body. Nothing like swimsuit season to make you regret those spring happy hours you’ve been indulging in. But in all seriousness, I have insecurities. The only thing that has cured those for me is truly taking care of myself & my body. This program did wonders for me last summer, and had me feeling as confident as ever. Getting back into the swing of things is a major goal for me this summer.
• Only buy things I love. Buying new pieces just to have the latest and greatest is quite the blogger trap. When I fall into that trap I just end up with a closet full of pieces I don’t love, which is just silly. This season I really want to avoid buying those “trendy” pieces, and curate a closet that truly feels like me.
• Take Calvin on more walks. We love our boy. He is a chunk and he’s getting older, so of course we want to keep him as healthy as possible! It’s so easy for us to make excuses to not do it, but we really need to make the time & just do it for him!
• Don’t wish the season away. Don’t we always do this? By saying “I can’t wait for next weekend” or “I can’t wait for vacation”, etc. A goal for me this summer is to truly stay in the moment & enjoy every day!

What you are your goals this season?!
