Currently writing this post with a dog asleep on my feet and a baby asleep on my chest. I haven’t done a photo roundup in a bit so I thought I’d cover one today so we could chat about the summer. August and September are still 100 degrees in Texas so it never really feels like you have this big end to summer. You just keep going to the pool until one day you realize, “Well…I guess I could technically start wearing booties because it IS October after all!” However, we are headed to Palm Beach at the end of the month so I’m really excited to top off Summer with a fun trip. I was actually ordering Maxi and I a few matching Lilly Pulitzer outfits for the trip because that’s a necessity for a PB trip with baby.
I love this little photo of Maxi and I in her new nursery. She has adjusted so well to the move, which gives me encouragement for our final move this fall. I was chatting with my best friend Emily about our next move. She has a toddler and then a baby on the way. We were talking about “when” you take the pacifier as all moms have such different experiences. She goes, “Honestly, you just need to take it when you finally move. Make it all bad at once. You won’t live with your mom, so no one can hold Maxi while you shower. You will be living in boxes and not know where anything is. Maxi will be in a new space. Just do it all at once and hate your life.” haha! I died laughing as she was being facetious, but honestly she DOES have a point. #ButSeriouslyNotDoingThat
This photo was a snap from a shoot we did and I’ll be honest, I stole this outfit from my sister. Maxi’s outfit is Stella McCartney and my top is Gianni Binni. However, my sister said it’s from 2 years ago or something and who knows if that is even accurate. Sadly, I couldn’t find it online!

I love these roundup posts!! Maxi is getting cuter and cuter every day! Looking forward to all the fun posts you have planned for this month! 🙂
Do you ever wear a necklace with the bright pink ruffle hem top? If so, what kind?
Thanks!
Hi Ashley! I haven’t yet, I normally do statement earrings! But if I did a necklace, I’d do a bib necklace!

Thanks Katey!
I live in Palm Beach! If you need any restaurant recommendations let me know! With the nature of Palm Beach, the best restraunts are not on Yelp, and don’t have websites, so if you want a locals opinion I would be more than happy to send a few your way! Also, my husband is good friends with the President of the Breakers, so if you are staying there we can let him know, and you might get something extra special! You guys are going to love it here, Worth Ave. was designed by Mizner, and Rodeo Drive was actually molded after it. Ok, I’ll stop now, I’m a third generation Floridian so I can go on too long haha. Enjoy!
Maxi’s nursery at your parents house is so cute! It is great to have a little space for her there while you guys settle.

I left a comment yesterday but I don’t think it went through on my end, so sorry if this is repetitive! However, I live in Palm Beach! If you want any restaurant recommendations let me know! With the nature of Palm Beach, the best restraunts are not on yelp or have websites. Also, my husband is good friends with the President of the Breakers, if you are staying there we can put in a word and you may get something extra special ;). I’m a 3rd generation Floridean so I’m probably biased when I say it’s so beautiful here, you guys will love it!
Hi Stephanie! Oh my gosh, not it was totally on my part! I left your comment pending so I could remember to e-mail you once Maxi went to sleep tonight and I hopped on my laptop! Lol. The things I do to remember to do things nowadays! You are too sweet!! I’d love any restaurant recommendations! We have some shoots while we are there for work, so I know we will all want a great meal once that is over. We will be starving! You’re so sweet, thank you for offering!! xo
I am working on a list, and will send you an email later on this week! If you have any questions or anything, feel free to reach out! Yay!
Love these roundup posts! Hopefully you have a great vacation in Palm Beach.
