Tile and flooring and backsplashes, oh my! 🤎✨

Today, I met with our designer again to make more selections for our empty nester remodel.

We compared tile samples, debated flooring options, held up backsplash choices, and tried to imagine how all the pieces will work together in our new home. Thankfully, this brown gingham jacket and linen-blend shorts combination was comfortable enough for a morning of design decisions and stylish enough to make all those choices feel a little more fun.

I paired it with my favorite platform sandals, a sweet heart toggle necklace, and a white belt for an easy look that was perfect for a productive morning with our design team.

Peek-a-boo! 🫣

With the grandbabies here at the beach this week, I’ve been playing lots and lots of peek-a-boo.

So when it came time to film this reel, it seemed only fitting. 😄

I love a swimsuit that does double duty, and this coordinating skirt makes it easy to throw on a little extra coverage when you’re heading off the beach for lunch, shopping, or wherever the day takes you.

Also, my daughter-in-law called me glamorous in this suit, and I’m not sure I’ve fully recovered from that compliment. 😉

Some places tell a story without saying a word.

These photos were taken on Sanibel Island, where it’s hard to imagine that Hurricane Ian changed everything on September 28, 2022. The Category 5 hurricane brought catastrophic storm surge and devastating damage to homes, businesses, beaches, and beloved landmarks across the island. For a while, it was hard to know what the future would look like.

But little by little, Sanibel came back.

Every time I visit, I’m amazed by how much has been restored. The beaches are beautiful, the island is thriving, and the resilience of the people who love this place is impossible to miss.

Watching that process has reminded me of something important: God often works the same way in our lives.

Healing doesn’t always happen overnight. Restoration is usually slower than we’d like. But God is faithful.

“Blessed is the man who trusts in the Lord, and whose hope is the Lord.” — Jeremiah 17:7

If you’re walking through a difficult season right now, keep trusting Him. The storm may have changed the landscape, but it doesn’t get the final word.

And yes, this darling gingham dress felt right at home on Sanibel. The lightweight, wrinkle-free fabric is perfect for warm weather, the smocked bodice is incredibly comfortable, and the pockets are always a win.

Some dresses make a statement. This one speaks fluent Sanibel. 🐚

Sanibel Island is one of the top shelling destinations in the world thanks to its unique east-west orientation, which allows the island to collect shells from the Gulf along its shores.

So this dress felt especially appropriate for a day on the island. The cream background, beautiful blue shell appliqués, square neckline, flattering smocked waist, and breezy maxi length are every bit as charming as the shells that make Sanibel Island famous.
