Lately I've been making more time for the little t Lately I've been making more time for the little things that bring me joy .💛 For this month's "Let's Look" prompt, I'm sharing some of the things I've intentionally been making time for this summer:

✨ Gilmore Girls + Ninja Creami afternoons
🏃‍♀️ Summer runs and fresh air
🍞 Learning sourdough
🀄 Mahjong with friends and family
🌸 Patio gardening and hummingbird watching
📚 More books and audiobooks

These simple routines and hobbies have made this season feel extra special. Sharing all the details (and a few favorite photos!) on the blog today.

🏃‍♀️ Race Recap: Taco the Town 5K 🌮 T 🏃‍♀️ Race Recap: Taco the Town 5K 🌮

This one definitely wasn't my day. Between thunderstorms, pouring rain, a late race start, warm temperatures, crowded conditions, and a less than ideal warmup, it felt like everything was working against me from the start.

But sometimes races aren't about perfect conditions or personal records. They're about adapting, learning and finding a way to keep going when things don't go according to plan.

The best part? I left with a few lessons, a 1st place F40-49 age group award🥇(!!) and a reminder that every race has something to teach us.

I’m sharing the full race recap (plus what happened when I decided to try again the following weekend!) on the blog today.

Do you prefer racing in cool weather or can you handle the heat? ☀️🌧️

My eyes have definitely been needing a little extr My eyes have definitely been needing a little extra love lately, so I’ve been adding these two products from @citybeautyofficial into my routine ✨👀 #ad

First, I use the Eye Revive Firming Serum to help smooth and firm the look of the skin around my eyes while helping reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging.

Then I follow with the Under Eye Recovery treatment, which instantly helps brighten and smooth the look of my under-eyes for a more refreshed, wide-awake look ✨ I also love that it has a subtle tint to help with dark circles!

I’ve really been loving how hydrated, refreshed, and brighter my under-eyes have been looking lately 💛 Shop here: https://liketk.it/6eEs5

One of my favorite moments from May was a beautifu One of my favorite moments from May was a beautiful Bible study luncheon at my friend Sarah’s house 🤍 She made the traditional Chicken Salad Pie for the very first time I’d ever tried it and everything was SO delicious. Her table setting was absolutely beautiful too ✨

Also sharing little peeks from our busy May… Mother’s Day & my custom mug Brian made me, sunset yoga, fun finds and more 💕

Mother’s Day just feels different when your kids Mother’s Day just feels different when your kids get older 💐✨

Maybe the day still includes brunch and family time, but it also feels a little quieter than it used to. Less handmade cards and little-kid chaos, and more teens, schedules, jobs, and growing independence. It can feel bittersweet sometimes, but there’s also something really special about this season of motherhood too. 🤍

Today on the blog, I’m sharing fun and cozy Mother’s Day ideas for moms with older kids, young adults, or empty nests along with a few heartfelt reflections of my own. 🌷☕️

Do you have a Mother’s Day memory you’ll always treasure? 🥹
