Five Things // 5.30

Heyyy, friends!

Today’s Five Things are items that have piqued my interest or things that have been on my mind / going on in my life recently!


HILL HOUSE SUMMER DROP

I am an Ellie Nap Dress devotee; it’s one of my favorite styles for the warmer months and a MUST for a summer pregnancy. I already have a few Ellie dresses in multiple prints and fabrics and so I thought it might be time to try a new silhouette. I ordered the Cosima style in Chocolate Circular Lattice back in February and it’s been such a great addition to my wardrobe.

When Hill House shared their Summer Collection Line Sheet I knew I was in trouble…. the Cosima dress was available in multiple options (colors, fabrics and prints)! I couldn’t decide on just one so I ordered both the Bluebird Tonal Seersucker and the White Patchwork Organza, fully expecting that I would prefer one over the other. I regret to inform you, Dear Reader, that I loved them both. The whole Collection was so good, I honestly could have purchased half of the drop!

Linking my dresses below, along with some other favorites from the summer collection.

AT-HOME SUMMER CAMP

This year is our first year of participating in [an at-home] “summer camp” and my toddler & I are both SO excited!

We already subscribe to The Magic Playbook monthly activity books so it was a no-brainer for us to purchase their Camp Magic Playbook to help us get through the summer with some fun and educational activities!

THROWBACK PLAYLIST

I’ve really been vibing with this playlist of “club jams” (read: radio hits) of the 2010’s. The endorphin rush is unparalleled. Highly recommend especially for [kidless] car rides, shower concerts, or house cleaning. #thisis37

Psst— my waterproof shower speaker can be found here.

PASSPORT PHOTOS

I recently shared this post about my experience using a passport photo app and it was a game changer for us. I’ll be using it going forward because both the app and process were incredibly easy to navigate and way easier than a trip to Walgreens (especially for littles!) — I can’t recommend it enough!

Project Mail Storm

As an introvert, this form of peaceful protesting is WAY more my speed.
Make Good Trouble, babes.

I hope your May was a good one, friends!

Sending hugs —
xx, Natalie
