Hello Monday.
Hello whirlwind of a weekend.
It’s hard to believe that another month has flown by + I’m sitting here on the morning of April 1st. It’s like the year is playing a joke on us right? Doesn’t it feel like just yesterday was Christmas?
Hello Easter weekend and the reminder of just how awesome and amazing our God is.
This weekend was filled with some beautiful + incredible memories.
Memories and reminders of a Heavenly Father who love us so much He gave us His son.
And His son loved us so much that He was beaten, broken + humiliated in front of many.
Why?
So that we may come to know Him + love Him and have a relationship with Him.
But also to teach us the power of forgiveness and grace in our lives.
There really is nothing more powerful.
Hello 33rd birthday sandwiched between Good Friday + Easter Sunday.
I won’t lie it felt a little bit strange to share my birthday weekend with Easter weekend. I went back and forth about celebrating or waiting until next week, but we have some good friends we’ve been spending time with, Jenny + Fransz and Fransz’ birthday was Sunday (Easter) so we decided to celebrate together.
Hello spontaneous family date night Friday night with friends.
Y’all if you don’t know about Dee’s beautiful shop, Red Letter Words, you need to check it out! Follow her on Instagram too because her new prints are beautiful and before you know it, you’ll be buying one for everyone you know. I can’t wait to share the one I ordered with you soon!
Hello Birthday, sleeping in and some time to shop by myself.
Hello new dress that I just had to bring home with me. Blue lace? yes please!

Hello Birthday Date night with the hubs and some friends.



Hello 33rd Birthday.
Hello sharing a birthday celebration with friends who are also celebrating a birthday.
Hello sushi at SugarFish, fresh Macaroons at Bottega Louie’s, a trip to a freezer at a vodka bar and a second dinner at 31 South. Such an incredible night with friends in downtown LA, enjoying wonderful conversation and lots of laughter. It really is the best kind of medicine. Jenny + Fransz I can’t wait till our next date night! SugarFish again? haha


Hello Sunday.
Hello wonderful Easter service. I’m so grateful for my family and for a Heavenly Father who loves me inspite of my flaws and shortcomings and always gently reminds me that I just need to be still and wait on Him. He’s an encourager, uplifter and friend.
Hello Easter celebration down by the beach with our family. It really was a beautiful day.
