The Month in Instagrams: May

On Wednesday I will have officially been home from school for an entire month! I cannot believe how time is flying but I have been so lucky to have filled this past month with so many fun summer activities! Here are some of the May highlights:

1. Spending an afternoon playing with the world's cutest kitten

2. Wandering around Boston on a sunny day with Tycho

3. Multiple days spent lounging in the sun at Silvershell Beach

4. Paying our respects at the Boston Marathon memorial in Copley

5. Getting VERY tan:)

6. My first Shake Shack experience--yum!!!

7. A wonderful trip to Palm Beach with my mom

8. Boogie boarding the entire Florida Vacation

9. Spending plenty of time with family and friends!

Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

I love Memorial Day! It's like a precursor to one of my other favorite holidays-- the 4th of July. I love seeing more America-themed things than usual and I love how everything about summer feels new and exciting during Memorial Day Weekend.

Today my family and I are taking our usual trip down the Cape for what's supposed to be the first beach weekend of the year. Today's not looking so hot unfortunately so we're trying to plan some sort of adventurous activity-- I'll keep ya posted... but it looks like tomorrow has beach potential! Hope you all have a great weekend, maybe I'll see you on the Cape!

P.S. Check out some of my Memorial Day Weekend necessities from last year! I'll definitely have all of these things with me this weekend as well:)

DIY: Seashell Vase

 

This probably doesn't actually count as DIY because I didn't actually make anything but whatever haha. I love the way this turned out! I've collected SO many shells over the years through my trips to Nantucket, Captiva, Aruba and various other islandy type places. They're so beautiful and such special mementos of my trips but I've never had a good way of displaying them. Originally, they were just scattered around my room in random little mini dishes. Now they're all together! I think they're so pretty and I love the way they look sitting on my dresser. 

Nantucket

Ah, I miss it so much. I am craving a sandwich from Something Natural sooo badly. By the end of the trip I perfected my order: turkey, tomato, bacon, lettuce, mayo, and avocado on oatmeal bread. AH. Only the best sandwich in the entire WORLD.

Look at the size of this bread!

The official flower of ACK.

Our house had the cutest decorations.

I'd never been to a beach with big waves before, so this was definitely my highlight!
