Happy Friday folks! I wish that I could say that my absence from this space is due to awesomeness.  It, in fact, has not.  Things have been crazy in our household as we have been juggling preparation for some bigger trips (expect another forthcoming blog break in a few weeks), as well as just maintaining life.  I swear, I am in awe of you amazing humans who have some combinations of kids, pets, jobs, organizations that you are a part of, etc.  Recently things have just been out of control and in a move that very's unlike me, I haven't been able to get ahead of the curve.  Read: I have not been able to get my stuff together to come up with content, take outfit pictures, etc.  With that being said, in my down time (aka as I'm laying in bed trying to fall asleep), I've come across some great links and content from across the interwebs that I wanted to share with you.  And if you are missing my daily posts, you can always get a glimpse into my daily life on instagram.

+ Speaking of Instagram, I wish that I could said I abided by these rules all the time, but I love a good avocado toast pic - I don't care if you have seen it a billion times ;)

+ Rosie Pope has always been a huge role model for me and I adored this article from her on Ivanka Trump's site.

+ Want to be affirmed in the beauty of love, music & dance? You should check out this video. (I cried.)  And if you haven't checked out the epic wedding music video yet - do yourself a solid.

+ As if I didn't love Ellen already, she is doing a fabulous collab with Gap/GapKids right now.  If you follow me on instagram, you probably saw me rocking a shirt from the girl's collection (it's an XL and fits perfectly).

Hope to catch y'all on the flip side.  In the meantime, I hope you & yours have a lovely weekend!
