    Stop and smell the azaleas

    dresses | moccs Hey ya’ll! I hope that you’re having a great start to your week. I am struggling to get back into work mode. It is SO gorgeous outside and we have been spending every moment we can enjoying it. Right down from our house, at our friend’s home, is this beautiful row of azaleas that I have been itching to take pictures at. We have an upcoming family photoshoot coming up so I really wanted to take our pictures there but with our finicky weather, the frost put a stop to that idea.

    Weekend Style thanks to JJ Cole and Freshly Picked

    My top | skirt | bag | necklace Harper and Scarlet Reese’s shoes | SR bow | bandana bib  Spring is here and we are loving it! We spend, at the least, a few hours outside everyday and it feels amazing. One thing that Derrek and I realized over the weekend is how we stayed busy and the kids were not bickering as much. So, I guess that’s the key for keeping the peace, ha! On Saturday, we ended up going to look at houses because we plan on moving at some point this year. I don’t know about y’all but the thought of moving is exciting and terrifying at…
