Sitting at here Wednesday at 9pm trying to make a Thrift Thursday post happen! Summer floral is my favorite and when you mix it with a lovely summer maxi, nothing says “I’m about to enjoy a beautiful summer day” more. I found both this maxi for $6.99 and Lauren Conrad heels that were brand new at $5.99 from my local thrift store. $13 stunning summer outfit! Score!!! Fancy sunglass from Occoquan Optical.
I got the chance to get a quick photo session in at a antique store in Leesburg, Virginia, while on a day trip last weekend. If you live in Virginia, Leesburg is such a great area with all the modern stores (outlets too) you can imagine but while also keeping the charm of a old historical downtown. This store was so cute! It had unique finds, refinished furniture and antiques. I could have bought so much.
This little getaway to Leesburg was to celebrate our good friends wedding which was absolutely stunning. Just the half a day of lunch, exploring, and wedding excitement was just the little pick-me-up from the craziness of what has been my life lately. Y’all let me tell you, working full-time + building a real estate business with two children has been hard.
Especially when you have mini terrorist toddler. You don’t want to give in, but sometimes you have to in order to keep your sanity. The amount of times I hear “uh-uh” as she points to what she wants like I can read her mind (which sadly I am starting to) is crazy. She is in that horrible sassy stubborn age where she is starting to feel independent but has no idea what danger or what fear is. But while independent so incredibly clingy and if you put her down, be prepared to pick her right back up otherwise she cries/screams at you. This pattern continues ALL DAY LONG. Oh and don’t forget those 4 teeth that are coming in at the same time. I look in her mouth at the enormous icebergs coming from her gums, and I can’t imagine the pain. But then she giggles, kisses, hugs, or smiles and you forget all the frustration of that day. I’m trying to soak in every second good or bad. Making all the time (which I feel like is never enough) I have with them a beautiful memory. Sometimes I wish time would stop. It all goes too fast and I know I’ll look back and miss this period in motherhood so much. Excited for summer and all our adventures! Hope you enjoyed Thrift Thursday! Send any funny toddler moments if you have them – hugs, Ashlyn
