monday to monday

coffee | senior recital practices | ice cream trips | grilling hot dogs | avengers mid-night premieres | visiting the camp grounds | receiving college acceptance letter | watching kittens play | photo shoots


There are a few things I learned this week:
- I'm pretty sure I'm obsessed with instagram
- Driving in storms with zero visibility and tornado warnings is not extremely enjoyable.
- When the internet goes down at our house, we can't really function. (kidding... mostly)
- Yotty's just has the best ice cream you guys. the best.
- I love super hero movies (okay, so I already knew this about myself)
- Cleaning the camp grounds for a couple of hours will make you super excited from summer.
- College acceptance letters are the best. ever.
- Megan's hair just looks awesome at all times.
- I drink a lot of coffee. (actually... i already knew this too.)


how was your week? Are you getting excited for summer?

much love-
Marissa

spring favorites

tiny kittens | lemonade | driving with the windows down | spring mixtapes | eating outside | flowers | colors | birds in the morning | cool breezes | the world coming to life | the end of school nearing | bits of summer popping up | farmers in the field again | wearing flip-flops again.


Don't you just love the spring is in full force? Is anyone else getting super excited for summer and freedom? I know I am. 
What are some of your favorite things about spring?

My life in pins

Most of us have this common addiction.... to pinterest. How can you not? Inspiring words, photos, style ideas and diys. Its all right there! In one place! I'd have to say, I spend quite a bit of time on pinterest. With 2078 pins and counting, it shows. Seeing a few of these posts yesterday and especially Hannah's, I decided that I had to do one of these things. Because basically there's a lot of things on pinterest that equals my life. And who could pass up this opportunity to share pins on their blog? 

Now, I will say: choosing a few pins is a lot harder than it seems. I spent an hour or so going through pins and finding the ones I wanted. I have a basic three boards and I pin on: love, beauty+inspiration, and words. With those being my biggest, it took a while. But then I ventured over to my style board and then on to my Harry Potter one.... man. I was in trouble. You all are lucky I didn't included 100 pins in this post. I think I did about 15... which is a good amount because otherwise we'd be here all day and then some.
