A Letter To My Four Year Old Daughter

Dear Brooke,

Oh my sweet girl, this year went by way too fast and I cannot believe we have a four year old. This year, we watched you grow and learn so much. You are so incredibly smart. You are constantly asking questions, are incredibly kind, and have such a sweet heart. You love your family so much and like trips to Chick-fil-a, Sonic, and Target. You are so silly and fun.

You love to learn and go to school. You can do puzzles quickly without our help and are starting to recognize all your letters and numbers. You love reading and playing pretend. You are so excited to go to Pre-K next year and are just growing up so fast.

Every day I feel like your kindness grows. You think of others, love everyone so much and are just so sweet. You are constantly asking us questions and by constant, I mean constant. Your mind never stops. You are so curious about the world and want to know how everything works. You love to sing worship songs and watch disney movies. You love playing outside and have an opinion about your outfits big time. You are a ball of energy and sunshine. You are so incredibly fun.

I’ll never forget the laughter that fills our house from your giggles, your love of Target, shopping trips with mommy, bible class and Chickfila. You pray with your brother every night, then pray for all your family and friends. Your heart is so lovable. Playing with your Daddy is one of your favorite things and you love cuddling with mommy in the mornings. You and your brother are best friends and partners in crime. You have so much fun together and you are such a good big sister. 

We are heading into 4 and I cannot believe in one short year you will be going into Kindergarten. I just want to soak in every moment of having you home with me most days. I know there will be so many changes this year and I just want to embrace them all and cherish every second. Every day with you is such a gift. You are truly loved and treasured sweet girl. Happy 4th Birthday!!

I love you SO MUCH,

Mommy

These are the kind of dresses you’ll reach for all season long. Whether you’re heading to brunch, church, vacation, date night, or just want to feel put together with minimal effort.
I rounded up 4 timeless summer maxi dresses that are flattering, comfortable, and easy to style with sandals, sneakers, or wedges.

Which one is your favorite—1, 2, 3, or 4?👇🏼

Comment SHOP and I’ll send you all the links! 💕✨

  • #ad Summer hosting is one of my favorite parts of the season, but let’s be honest... no one talks about the cleanup. 😅

After every get together, I rely on a few simple reset routines to get my home back in order. I’ve been using the limited edition @lysol designs celebrating America’s 250th birthday from @Walmart to tackle hard surfaces and refresh linens after hosting that make post-party cleanup feel a whole lot more manageable.

Whether you’re hosting a backyard BBQ, family dinner, or casual summer gathering, remember: the more the messier! Celebrate big, then clean smart. Clean Up America’s Biggest Birthday with Lysol®. 🇺🇸✨

Shop @lysol at Walmart for your summer hosting cleanup routine!

Fill a bowl for everyone to enjoy, or layer it in a clear jar, tie on a festive ribbon, and add my printable gift tag for the sweetest little treat. So easy, so cute, and perfect for summer celebrations!

  • Back porch summer reset with @homedepot 🧡#AD

Our back porch had become one of the most underused spaces in our home, so this summer a back porch reset was top on our priority list ✨

By swapping our outdoor dining setup for a cozy conversation set and adding a few simple touches like lanterns, pillows, and greenery, it now feels like the perfect spot to unwind, connect, and enjoy summer evenings.

Sometimes the biggest transformations come from the simplest changes. I found everything I needed at @HomeDepot to bring this vision to life. 

COMMENT “shop” for the links.
