Monday Round Up: Mother's Day Shorting / My Monochromatic Life

Happy Monday party people! Welcome to my last week of maternity leave. So weird that this is the end. It is going to be a really busy week around here as my sister is getting married this coming Saturday. Lots to do so I might be a little absent blog-wise this week, but be sure to follow along on instagram for updates!

This weekend was pretty busy, but I will keep it short and sweet. Friday my mom and I went up to Duluth to visit my cousin and her new baby. It was so fun to see her as a mom and her baby boy was so adorable. Of course, I brought Reese with me and we snapped a few pictures for our babies' first meeting. It was great to see her and reminded me that D and I need to get up there together to show Reese around. Duluth is where we met so it is pretty important to us.

On Saturday I had a few things to take care of. We have out of town guests coming for my sister's wedding so I did a bit of cleaning, some laundry and worked out. That night I went over to dinner at my parent's house. My sisters were both there and my niece. It is always fun to be there, my parent's house always feels like home.

Sunday was the big Mother's Day, my first anyway. D was out of town for fishing opener so I went to brunch with my mom and sisters in Uptown, Minneapolis. The weather was gorgeous! Super warm and sunny. I had my hair down but eventually had to put it up because it was too hot. We really had a great day shopping and drinking mimosas. What more could a mother want?

We got free champagne at The Libertine!

On Sunday I had to dress cool because of the weather. I forgot that I bought these scalloped shorts on major sale a while ago. I absolutely love them. They are so comfortable and the perfect length. Plus they are lightweight so it is great for a hot day. I paired it with this white top I got forever ago from Gap. It is such an easy throw on piece and goes with everything. For brunch I had on this basic cardi but it came off pretty quick while we were walking around. Also as a mom, a crossbody is a must! I need my hands free at all times and this is the only way to guarantee that my bag doesn't fall on the ground. Such a simple look but still chic at the same time!
