it’s officially MAY and do you know what that means?!?!
sunscreen. sunshine. warmer temps. pool days. longer days. hikes. drippy ice cream.
i could go onnnnn.
summer is just around the corner and to say i’m ecstatic would be an understatement. the midwest has us all in a state of not knowing whether to wear winter coats or pulling out the swim suits.
basically the weather is drunk.

it’s this time of year i start making our summer family bucket list and i basically try to cram in as much as humanly possible. the girls are SO much fun these days, mills is at the greatest age ever and this summer is going to be the best one yet!

 i’m finally entering into the stage of wearing a real purse again, but i still need room to throw in my wallet, hand sanitizer, some diapers, wipes, a couple pairs of toddler undies + shorts and of course some all the snacks for these full days… enter in the most beautiful spacious leather purse a girl can dream of!! i am super excited to be partnering with buffalo jackson trading co. to introduce you to their new women’s line {that is now 10% off for MOTHERS DAY! just use the code MOTHERS10} and it is swoon-worthy. i had such a hard time choosing one bag…they are all so perfect for so many different reasons! more so, i love finding brands that not only create quality products, but also are honest, stand behind their product and are built by hard working men and women…y’all know my heart for small shops!! my parents {and now sister + brother in law} built a company from the ground up and i will forever respect those honest, hardworking entrepreneurs!

i fell in love with the detail of this camden braided shoulder purse and the fact that i could still carry everything i needed for 3 babes under 3. it’s spacious and with an adjustable shoulder strap, i can wear it across my body, giving me the ability to hold a baby on one hip and those tiny toddler hands in the other. the full grain leather is so soft and with a vintage leather finish, this beauty is going to be with me for all of our summer adventures as we check off each activity below!
