We are big Pacers fans (a Pacers game was me and my husband’s second date!) and I love that these two wholesome teams are going to the playoffs together! 👏🏀

It looks like May was a beautiful month for you guys, I hope June treats you just as well!

Oh I love that!! 🥲 That's so similar to mine and my husband's story. I converted him from the Celtics because OKC Thunder are the only sports I care about (and March Madness lol) and he loved that we could share our love for a sports team (plus he was living in Oklahoma at the time so it was a pretty easy sell, lol). He also says that two midwestern teams in the Finals is NBA's biggest nightmare 😂😂😂 but I disagree, it's time for some small market teams to have their moment! Good luck!! 🙌🙌

In Indianapolis?! Brave. We live in Colorado, but there was no way we were up for those Nuggets fans. We drove to OKC for Game 5 of that series.

I don't blame you, that crowd was fierce!! I would have much preferred to be in OKC but the schedule didn't work out for us. I've never been to another arena so I'm definitely anxious to see how these first 3 games go 😅

I just love these posts and the new layout is lovely! 🤗 I’m so with you on the tajin rimmed margarita (and have been trying to hunt down those cactus glasses at my local thrift stores myself)!🍹🌞

The Yoto player is the real MVP of my house! I create the Make Your Own cards, and my kid loves the silly messages I put between songs or books. Also, Tajin is the umamiest, most delicious condiment. We use it on Mango, and as I write this, I feel myself salivating.

My husband made some of the make your own cards with stories and his own songs and they are the HIT of the household too. I love that, and what a treasured item!

Hahah yes Tajin on mango and pineapple, I love to recreate a Dole whip with it! I also love micheladas with a Tajin rim. Or just dumping it right on my tongue like I used to do with Lucas as a kid 😂

Lovely as always, Brittany! I remember once on a flight the girl one row up and over from me was watching Downton Abbey (Season 2 finale lol) and I was reciting EVERY WORD in my head, honestly 10/10 plane experience!

Gosh- I had so many thoughts reading this- I decided just to take notes!

1. Your grandmother does NOT look 90! That is amazing and lucky you for good genetics!🤣How wonderful to still have her!

2. Love your hair! Looks so good!

3. I am dying over your Disney trip (and that postcard book!!!!!😍) Living in KY has put the kibosh on my once yearly Disneyland trips. We are hoping to take the kiddos there next spring! 🤞🏼

4. Yay for strawberry season! We finally got an abundance in our garden this year and we could not be more excited!

5. That affirmation post 🤯😥 I felt some conviction reading the first several listed…will be revisiting that often.

Love the layout and always, always enjoy these posts!! 🩷

Awe haha I love it!! Thank you thank you!!

I am so envious of a garden bursting strawberries, how amazing!!!

I so wish we could do Disney every year, but we do hope to go again in a few years when Scout is a tiny bit older so she can experience the magic in a way she can remember too!

My last Disneyland souveniers--a magnet and an oven mitt (But it's Mickey's giant white-gloved hand and it always makes me laugh).

Flights with 4 kids--impressive.

Loved your layouts here, so fun and beautiful! Someone putting up frames for you: I cannot think of a better gift. I'm a huge fan of video in the background with no sound; never thought of doing that on a plane. I think that's genius, it's so important to find comfort when traveling. <3

You and I are kindred souls!! Agree-- putting up the frames was the best gift of all, instant gratification!

Loving the layout! It makes me so happy to read! Those affirmations were so good to read and perfect timing as I was having a tough parenting day. Your trip looked so fun and you inspired me with some summer reading ideas too!
