I love a raffia or rattan bag for summer. At one point (before I did my big declutter), I had an entire basket in my closet labeled as rattan bags. When I first made the label, Anel misread it as "rotten" bags which I still giggle about whenever I use one of those bags. This list includes some great ones like a cute mini tote for under $40 and the most simple and a perfect oversized raffia beach bag.
And just like that... we're halfway through May with summer on the horizon. And it feels so good! This month has been all about hanging outside with the kids, watching them jump and play around. We are all coming back to life after winter with the sunshine and warmth.
I've been all over with travel and excited to stay put for a while.
Oh my gosh this week was so exciting (and very exhausting)! On Monday we had our first photo shoot for the cookbook during which it finally hit me that this is actually all happening. I had a good little cry and moved on because we had to GSD but it felt like a really big moment.
Amalia was a book worm from the day she was born. It took Luca a little longer but now he is a big reader too! He runs to the stairs to read before bed with us and often will sit for a long time just reading to himself pointing at trucks and naming them or singing one of the songs from the first three on this list.
