Linen for Summer

I am loving all of the linen-like fabrics that are out there right now. Our weather seems to go back and forth between rainy and cold and then blistering hot and this light weight fabric is perfect to stay cool in the heat and humidity. After a chilly, rainy week it was really nice to have a few sunny days.

This past weekend we took a short trip down to Chicago to see Matt’s grandparents. Matt’s grandma is so good at gardening, her back yard is small but so beautiful! I shared some of the pictures I took of her pretty flowers on Instagram. We all enjoyed sitting outside chatting and watching Margot run around. My grandparents all passed away quite a while ago so I’ve adopted Matt’s as my own. Now it is so sweet to see Margot with them! It had been a while since we had been together so Margot was a little shy at first but she warmed up pretty quickly and gave hugs and kisses when we left. She was waving and saying “Bye Grampa. Bye Gramma” for like five minutes after we drove away. It was so cute!

Sunday we went to the grocery store and spent some time out in the back yard. I could tell Margot was getting restless because her terrible twos behavior starts coming out. She is so sweet most of the time and I just love having my weekends with her but of course she has her moments. I guess everyone does, really.

Here’s to hoping this week goes by fast and then we have a few days off for the 4th! Have a great week!
