Happy Friday! Can you believe it? Three posts in one week. I can hardly believe it myself, but here I am. I have a big bunch of favorites for you, so let’s get to it!

Favorite 1: EASTER!! I didn’t get our regular family photo, but I did get a selfie on Saturday night before church. We spent Easter weekend with my sister, brother-in-law, niece, mom, and dad. It was so great to all be in the same city for a few days.






Favorite 2: BEACH!! I love time on the beach. I love it when it’s chilly and windy or sunny and hot. Of course, sunny and hot is my favorite and I got some beach time this weekend. Luke and I spent a few hours on the beach on Easter afternoon. It was so good for my brain and my heart!



Favorite 3: BOOKS!! I am still powering through Mona’s Eyes for my school book club. It was not a favorite and many people have given it a DNF. I am determined to finish it but it might take me some time. I paused to read a three other books. I read two by Kristy Woodson Harvey and I am in the middle of Meg Mitchell Moore’s new book. I’m loving it for summer!



Favorite 4: CLOTHES!! I bought this sweater and these pants a long time ago but the weather hasn’t been right to wear it. Yesterday was the day and I was so happy with my purchases. I will definitely wear this outfit a few more times this spring!

How fun when it matches my Swig!

Favorite 5: GOLF!! This is a big week for golf! I watched the Masters coverage yesterday afternoon. I got to watch my favorite golfer on Wednesday afternoon. He played really well and the team got another win!


Favorite 6: TULIPS!! I am loving my orange tulips on the back deck. My mom ordered them from Holland and they make me so happy when I look outside! My mom has a TON of tulips in her yard and they are a few days behind mine. I can’t wait to see hers in full bloom!


Favorite 7: SUNSHINE! I was loving the weather in Charleston – warm and sunny!!

Our weather has been a little chilly, but I am loving the sunshine. It makes it feel a little warmer. The only time I wasn’t loving the sunshine was yesterday afternoon. I had an eye doctor appointment and my doctor dilated my eyes. This was quite a look driving home. Ha!!

Favorite 8: USS YORKTOWN & CHARLESTON!! Luke and I had a great day on Monday at the USS Yorktown museum. It was a really cool experience. We took the Captain’s Tour and it was totally worth it. The tour is 90 minutes and it was led by a former Navy pilot. He was so knowlegable and personable.










We had a great time walking around the Battery area and the Market in downtown Charleston!


Favorite 9: CALENDAR! I have a page-a-day calendar with quotes from well spoken women. I loved this quote from Jane Fonda when I got back to school this week.

Favorite 10: FIDGET! I put these in Luke’s Easter basket after Jen recommended them. They were a hit! He has been fidgeting with them since he got them. They are pretty cool to move around in your hand!

Favorite 11: GLASSES! I have been a Goodr fan for a while, but this new to me style is an instant favorite! The Pop G style is great and I just might order a tortoise shell pair.


I am looking forward this weekend. We don’t have anything that we really have to do. I started a list last night of things I’d like to do, but all of it can wait if I don’t get to it. That is a good feeling. The weather looks fabulous so I am hoping to take advantage of that! Have a great weekend full of sunshine and books!

That is such a pretty sweater! I love all your beach photos. Looks like you had some nice, sunny days.
Looks like spring has truly sprung there – loving all of your Easter and Charleston colors- they would make me happy for sure!
I have had to do the double glasses look! I love your new Swig! Ah, the beach! Ah, beach books! Wonderful!
What lovely photos of your family over Easter and how great to spend some time at the beach. That sweater is so cute, I love the colour. That does sound like a great trip to the museum.
