Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we al

Happy heavenly Mother’s Day to my mom! How we all loved her! I miss her funny sense of humor, her fierce love of others, her cooking and desires to always please everyone. Mom had strength beyond my comprehension she was always gardening… moving heavy pots, digging in hard soil and creating an oasis everywhere she lived. Her love of all things French was something to admired. Everyone who ever walked into her home could immediately feel loved and cared for. Mom worked tirelessly in her chocolate company right up until just a few months before she died. Her sacrifices for us were uncountable. I love my mom and all she was and did and especially her faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Here’s to all the moms past present and future and to all the sacrifices, teachings and loving us even when we drive them crazy.

Loving and missing my mom! ❤️

This under $30 striped shirt dress had me wonderin

This under $30 striped shirt dress had me wondering if I was headed out or off to bed—as it looks like a night gown at first but with a little styling magic, it’s now one of my most versatile summer pieces!

Shop the look:
• Blue & white striped shirt dress
• Long necklace
• White New Balance sneakers
• Straw tote bag
• Denim jacket

Great for travel, market days, or even as a beach cover-up!

Travel for 15 days with only carryon luggage. My two tone backpack is from Italy a few years ago but I found one similar in my LTK shop for you.

My travel outfit tip- wear your denim jacket and raincoat to leave room in luggage. Loving this lightweight raincoat that is lined. It also fits great in my backpack.

White sneakers with leopard detail and super comfy and go with everything!

@coldwater scarf in a beautiful watercolor print is perfect to dress up or down an outfit.
