Open Tabs in May
Last month I shared a post called 10 things I’m obsessed with right now.
It was so fun to share a random drop of things that I was loving in the moment! Well, here we are into May and we are making this a monthly series called “Open Tabs.” A fun way to share the items I’ve been saving, sharing, buying, cooking - really anything goes.
Justine Snacks Broccolini Orzo Pasta Salad (I’m making tonight + using shrimp!)
After a busy couple of weeks with Spring sports and school wrapping up I am ready to get back into the kitchen! When life gets busy I rely on meals that I have cooked time and time again (see a lot of those here). But perusing the grocery store has me so excited for all the seasonal produce in season. I’ve saved a few recipes lately that all have fresh flavors I love this time of year!!
Donut Sensory Gift Jar (so cute for parties!)
My mom brain in the summer bounces between never feeling like we are doing enough and trying my best to give ourselves a break. Working for myself doesn’t fair well when we are all together, all the time. George is a big sensory kid and Young + Wild and Friedman makes some of my favorite sensory kits for kids. Great when you need to get things done at home! These Grab + Go Dough Jars are my personal favorites because they are so easy to throw in your bag for a little distraction when needed.
We leave for Wisconsin at the end of this month and I’m slowly adding a couple pieces to my wardrobe that will perfect for a casual summer. How fun are these jeans? The cherry embroidery is so cute (they just arrived!). We never really have a reason to get dressed up in the summer, our days consist of days on the lake, grilling out at home and bonfires at night. I’m leaning into a simple packing list (I usually overpack and never wear half of what I bring) this year.
It is gingham overload in my closet right now. I’ve always been a fan of the classic print but I really can’t get enough this season. I am packing quite a few pieces for our summer travels (I just ordered this top to wear with my favorite white jeans). I put together an entire collection of gingham favorites if you’re also a fan of the trend. Check it out here!
We just finished our pool and I am SO. EXCITED. Our turf gets installed around the pool this week (right now it is sort of a muddy mess) and then our next project will be closing off our car port to be an outdoor living space. We aren’t starting that part of the project until August but I can’t wait to enjoy our pool! I have been wanting to add some fun poolside accessories and I’m leaning into a green color palette. Once our landscape is in it will be fun to finalize the rest of the space!
Yay! I think that’s everything I’ve bookmarked the past few weeks. You can always find what I’m shopping and saving in our weekly Most Loved collections and my Shopbop hearts (I update them daily!).
PS: I ordered this adorable little fish charm for my charm bracelet and I’m so excited! Now I’m on the hunt for a seashell.
Did you know I have a website with lots of other fun (and free!) content?!
