since moving back home, i have had a lot of opportunities hang with my mom. my mom loves gardening & so she spends her free time out in the backyard taking care of her plants. she loves to go plant shopping too! & i tagged along on her last plant buying expedition. i love these hanging succulent baskets! i'm thinking it would be really neat to make a terrarium one of these days. maybe like these or make a day of it like this.

another thing i like to do with my mom is go thrifting & vintage shopping! we love it. & we love doing it together. so, when i found out from lisa's blog that she would be selling her vintage clothes at a nearby antique fair, i knew that we had to go. i had been wanting to go to this particular antique fair for a while & lisa gave me just the excuse : ) it was great to meet another blogger! lisa was so sweet & friendly (as was her husband nate!). i bought a cute green vintage top from her booth :D

lately it seems i have been packing my overnight bag for quite a few mini trips (camping & visits to miguels), which is great (i love my overnight bag by the way!) : ) now that school is done for the summer, i've finally been able to sit down & read for pleasure. i decided to get back into reading extremely loud & incredibly close by jonathan safran foer.

 i'm off to visit miguel again tomorrow for our four months & i just like this photo of him.

the weather has been changing frequently it seems - hot one day & cold & breezy the next. i even hear it is supposed to rain today! even though, the first day of summer is later this month & i have been getting into the mood with lots of ice cream...! haha.

i hope everyone has a nice monday!
