Kites & Superheroes // Outfit Post

 

Happy Belated Easter, everyone! I hope you all had a wonderful Sunday. Today we went to the beach and my little brother Jeffrey got to try out his new present, a bright green Hulk kite. He did really well, and before we left, said "this might be the most fun I've ever had". Or something to that effect. He's starting to use very grown-up phrases and it's cute :)

 I wore a dark red maxi skirt with the new tank top my mom found at a consignment shop over the weekend. It's really creative-looking, like something a European girl would wear while riding her bike through a flower festival. And, of course, what says, "I live at the beach" like a maxi skirt?

 

We spent part of the time taking pictures, part of the time flying Jeffrey's new kite, and the rest trying to swat away the weird little bugs that kept sticking to our skin. In spite of the bugs, it was fun. While it was hard to leave home last year, I'd wanted to live at the beach for so long and it was an answered prayer when we finally arrived with the Penske truck in Southport. And days like today just don't happen unless you're coastal :)

Wishing you an amazing week ahead, kites optional.

Happy April // Outfit Post

Pastels? Check. Sandals? Check. Sunshine? Check.

 

Yep. It's definitely April.

 

April is famous for a certain gift-giving bunny... but most importantly, April is the month when we celebrate the death and resurrection of our Lord and Savior. It's easy to get lost in the festivities, but we gotta try to stay focused on Jesus. Life is more fulfilling when we keep our eyes on Him-- something I know I need to remember.

 

Today is Wednesday, and that means a full day of homeschooling and then youth at 6:00. I'm wearing a knotted chambray top and a watercolor-print high-lo dress (worn as a skirt). It's fun but not overly dressy, and the color scheme screams SPRINGTIME!!! Which is greeeaaaat, because it's been a long winter!

This is my first outfit post on my new blog, and I would love for you guys to fill up the comments section with your input and suggestions. I plan to do more of these in the future... so here's hoping!

xoxo,
