Sweet Summertime

Sorry for the lack of posts, this month has been incredibly busy! Between planning for Andrew's first Father's Day, all of Layla's appointments, my birthday, and our anniversary, I haven't had a single second of free time! This month, we received word from Layla's doctor that her ROP is completely gone! We could not be more ecstatic! My little baby is such a fighter.

For Father's Day, we went with Andrew's parents to church, since a lot of his parents friends hadn't met Layla yet. I ordered her a special onesie to wear and made her a matching tutu to go with it.

How could you not want to just eat her up?! That smile just kills me!

Since we're taking a family vacation to Mackinac Island next week, I got Andrew his beloved iOttie Car Mount for his iPhone 5. We both use ours for GPS, music, movies, etc., so I figured it was perfect timing for a long road trip. He loves it and it works great! As for our anniversary, we've decided to celebrate when we get to Mackinac, so we haven't exchanged gifts yet. (It's totally something from my Father's Day Giftspiration post! haha) Since I have a little extra shopping time, I might have to go out and get something else, too! My birthday was awesome and we spent time doing what we love: eating, drinking, and watching movies. Who could ask for a better birthday?!

Anyways, even though we're only a week into summer, I've been in a summertime mindset since Memorial Day. This is how I work. Summer is way too short in Michigan, so you gotta fake it till you make it. I've been doing a ton of shopping in preparation for warm weather, beach days, and vacation, and I've found myself buying more accessories than anything else. I can't help it - as soon as I see a flash of pastel, glitter, or anything nautical, I must have it. I've bought some really great stuff over the past few weeks, so it's inspired me to make a summer style collage of sorts...
one. two. three. four. five.
six. seven. eight. nine. ten.
eleven. twelve. thirteen.

Um, so, Hi. My name is Renee and I'm totally addicted to mint green and glitter. haha You'll have to excuse the umbrella, Michigan has been plagued with storms and flooding for weeks, so...I thought these were fitting. The colors at least make them feel summery!

I'll be posting about packing for vacation and beach bag necessities within the next few days, so keep an eye out! Leave me some comments and let me know what your favorite summertime necessities are!
