This past few days have been such a hard one, and I can’t help but go into this week with a bit of a heavy heart. There’s so much work to do as a country as we need to come together and learn more about how we can solve some of the root problems when it comes to racism. All I know is that it has to start within each of us, with discussions that we have at home and with our families, and I hope that we can all give grace to others as we learn to grow and become better versions of ourselves.
Our Weekend Trip to the Texas Tulip Farm
I wanted to share something light-hearted today, so that we may all find some comfort and peace right now. Back in early March right before the quarantine started, we took a mini road trip out to Pilot Point, TX (about an hour away from Dallas) to check out the latest tulips. This was our second visit to Texas Tulips (crazy to think that our previous trip was 3 years ago!) and nothing makes me happier than seeing a field full of colorful blooms!
About halfway into our drive, there was a rainstorm that passed through and our visit ended up being a bit colder and wetter than I had hoped. We had originally wanted to get some family photos in, but the weather had different plans so it was a quick in-and-out with Adrian snapping photos instead of setting up the tripod instead. 😆 We definitely made some fun memories this time as we sloshed through the mud (and learned the lesson to bring rainboots next time!) and I can’t help but smile every time I see these photos!
I do love a pretty little white dress when it comes to spring/summer and cannot rave enough over this flirty option! The lace detailing on the shoulder straps along with the long lace-layered skirt give it an angelic vibe, while the fit-and-flare style is incredibly flattering for literally all body types. Take advantage of the sale and grab this pretty number for your next summer outing — it would also be perfect for any of my brides-to-be!

This place looks gorgeous! There’s a tulip farm close to where I live (they just relocated this year) but due to the current situation they held off on opening to the public this year so I’m living through your photos!
