All regular priced items on Joe Fresh are 3o% off. I recently ordered this cover-up and really like it. It is so soft and with the discount it is only $19!
If you are looking for a great salad recipe for the holiday weekend, look no further!
I have a tendency to hoard old cooking magazines. Any other magazines I toss in the recycling bin but I have a hard time parting with my old cooking ones. I found this recipe in an old issue of Food and Wine as I was going through them to toss out. This salad blew my mind. The jalapeno dressing is so bright and flavorful. It really makes this salad pop. The original recipe calls for nectarines too but I could not find any and honestly it was great as is. The original recipe also calls for fresh lima beans but I used frozen and cooked them myself.
This salad will be made all Summer long.

This has been a whirlwind week of major events. It has been an emotional one for sure.
Last week we lost our sweet boxer Nelson. She lived a long life, she was almost 13. Matt got her right before he started law school and before we got married. She was sick towards the end and not herself the past few months but that still doesn't make it any easier to lose a pet. Our house is so lonely without her constant sweet company. I know she is in doggie heaven now with her family. Just looking at this picture makes me want to cry. She was the best dog and so great with Sterling and Frances. She is dearly missed.
Yesterday Sterling graduated from pre-k. I can't believe he is starting kindergarten this fall. Like I said it has been an emotional few days. I cried as soon as all the kids walked out in their tiny graduation hats. They are all splitting up and going to different kindergartens. I loved his sweet crew he has been with the past 3 years. Sterling however was super excited to be out for Summer!
This was Frances Moon on her last day of school. I feel like I blinked and she was no longer a baby.
Several of you asked about the shoes she is wearing, they are called Natives. I actually went to buy Sterling a pair and she would not put them down so I bought her a pair too. They are a great for Summer because they are rubber and you can wash them.
My tiny graduate:) We had someone snap family photos but all they turned out fuzzy. I can't wait for my iphone upgrade mine is a hot mess!
New favorite pizza, The BBQ chicken from Pasianos. I love the addition of jalapenos.
Speaking of jalapenos. I just started adding them to our avocado toast in the morning thanks to Matt's idea. It is a genius combo with the crunch and heat.
Sterling also had his last soccer game this week and got his second trophy. So proud of my little man.
Had some fun in the sprinkler this past weekend.
Frances is rocking her favorite shoes again, I am telling you they are all she wants to wear!
Working it like a supermodel.
I had a little more time to browse the Nordstrom sale. I ended up ordering this Rag and Bone tank. It is 60% off right off right. Figured it would be great with shorts and especially white jeans.
Rebecca Taylor just started their Memorial Day Sale. You can take additional 25% off sale merchandise. Use code SALE25. I am obsessed with this bright poppy print.
I wanted to mention next Saturday May 30th I will be helping to host an event at Gwynn's in Mount Pleasant debuting the new Laura Mercier Spring line! The event is 10-7 and there is a fabulous gift with your purchase. If you want to schedule an appointment to have your make-up done which I highly recommend call Britney at 843.849.9667
She did my make-up and is amazing! I will be there in the morning and there will be fun drinks and nibbles!
Happy Wednesday! Today Sterling graduates from Pre-K and not gonna lie I am feeling emotional about him growing up so fast! Wish me luck that I don't cry the whole time.
Wanted to share an outfit that I will be packing for our upcoming trip. I love this dress so much. I actually wore it this weekend to a graduation party. It is super light weight and I love beachy and breezy vibe. I wore it this weekend with flip-flops so you can easily dress it up or down. The colors are just stunning.
