A high ponytail is one of my go-to quick and easy hairstyles for summer. I rarely spend a lot of time on my hair, and this hairstyle takes one minute, looks so cute, and keeps my hair out of my face during warm summer days.

When Philip and I got married, I told him I expected flowers on Valentine's Day and my birthday. And then when our boys were born, I added Mother's Day to that list. I've always been a flowers lover, and if you come into my house at any given time, you'll usually find a bouquet of fresh flowers on the counter. So flowers for these special holidays is a must in my book. I don't need big gifts, or a fancy date night -- in fact, my idea of the perfect Mother's Day is pretty darn simple.

Last week I started thinking about my new year resolutions...you know, like the ones I made back in January. So I'm doing a little accountability update today -- and sharing this pretty yellow lace top I wore last week.
