Happy Monday (probably Tuesday by the time I hit "publish" on this post)!!! I hope you all had an amazing weekend and your week is off to a great start. We had a pretty relaxing weekend which was nice, especially since this week is going to be a busy one with lots of family coming to visit! Bear is super excited to see Uncle Ryan and three of his cousins; he loves anytime we have family come into town. Being an only child and having all our family so far away, he is so overjoyed anytime people come to visit. It breaks my heart a little because I see how much it means to him and how much he enjoys it and I wish we could see family more often. But it just makes the time we do have with them that much more special!

Y'all know I have been obsessed with all things fruit this summer and this lemon clutch has been my favorite little bag. Sadly it sold out from Charming Charlie but I'm pretty sure THIS one is identical and just $25! Give me all the lemons, watermelon, and pineapples, please (especially in the form of handbags). I mean I like the real fruit too but fashion before nutrition, always. Sorry, Mom. I don't tell that to Bear- not that he would care because fashion is the last thing on his mind. Dirt, Spongebob, and popsicles are basically the only things on his radar. 

Speaking of Bear, he starts pre-k next week and this momma is all kinds of emotional about it. I feel like he was just an infant yesterday and now he's starting "school"- it can't be so. We went and got all his school supplies over the weekend and he is excited to see his friends from Mother's Day Out again; a lot of them will be going to the Academy this year as well so I'm glad he will have some friends he knows. He's going three days a week so it won't be too much, but I know it will be good for him. The real waterworks will come next year when he starts kindergarten- I can't even think about that yet. They really do grow so fast and the summer has flown by!

If you've stuck with this randomness of a post, you really are the zest. :) Sending you a big hug and thank you for reading!
