Our First Mother's Day

On me: Off the shoulder maxi dress (only $60!)  // Sandals // Hat

On Athena: Dress // Glitter jellies 

You are going to go ahead and forgive me for the excessive pictures in this post, but I'm obsessed. I love having such a special day captured in such a beautiful place with the sweet girl who made me a mom.

On our first Mother's Day Andrew took us on a picnic to the International Peace Garden here in Salt Lake City. He had stumbled across it on a bike ride and noticed that the Japanese garden looked like a mini version of where we got married in Chicago. He thought it would be the perfect place to take me for our anniversary but got impatient and took me for Mother's Day instead. No complaints here if we go back in October!

We stopped at Whole Foods prior to the picnic to get some food and Athena was the star of the store in her frilly dress and bow. I must admit, I'm super jealous of her gold jelly shoes, I wish they came in my size. They are also just 8 bucks! 

My off the shoulder maxi was the prefect choice for sitting in the grass with Athena. Maxi dresses are just so easy with a baby because you don't have to worry about anything being too short and accidentally riding up. This one is so light weight and has such bold pretty colors, I got compliments just walking to the car!

Maybe I...and Utah are late to the party, but these Avarca Pons sandals are all the buzz around here. I first heard about them on several stylish Utah ladies IG stories for their easy and insane comfort and boy where they right! I like that they hide my chipping pedi but are still feel like sandals! Seriously so comfy and come in so many colors you will have a hard time choosing.

Hope all you mamas and mama lovers had a great Mother's Day. Now on to prepping for Father's Day! Eek! Email/DM me your good ideas so Andrew doesn't see them ;)
