Happy Wednesday! How’s your week going? Work is still pretty crazy for me and I’m keeping busy non-stop with a never ending to-do list. I seriously long for some moments of down time because they are rare, but hey I guess that’s life, right? 😉
On the bright side of things, there’s only about a month left until we leave for vacation to the Outer Banks, and I couldn’t be more excited! We love going to the Outer Banks (Avon in particular) because it’s an amazingly beautiful beach that’s a little more quiet and away from all the hustle and bustle. My boys have been asking me everyday when we are going, so to say they are excited would be an understatement.
Now, onto some things I’m loving lately!
Spring Floral Fashion
Seriously, give me all the florals! The print on those pair of shorts is my fave!
Cute Desserts
I think my boys would love making the pretzels, and I think those little flower pots are darling! Also, who doesn’t love mini cheesecakes-especially birthday cake flavored ones! 🙂

Ya had me at cute desserts. I want to make all the things!
Same here, girl!
I was never much of a floral person, but it’s definitely grown on me. I have one floral shirt and I seriously want to wear it all the time! Those desserts are all so cute and look so delicious!
Florals are so pretty for spring. Also, I really want to make the lady bugs, asap-haha. I still unfortunately am unable to view your blog, so just wanted to let you know. I would absolutely be commenting/viewing your posts if I could! 🙂
The florals this season have been absolutely incredible.
I agree! love all the florals! 🙂
Great post Cara. Loved reading your roundup of favorites. I did a similar post this week. I am loving floral bottoms for Spring too and need/want a floral mini and a new pair of floral shorts.
Do come by and linkup with me tomorrow, pretty mamma. Thanks and Happy Hump Day!
Thanks Ada! Aren’t florals the prettiest? Hope you’re having a great week!

cheers!
Thanks Katelyn, I do too!
Believe it or not, I only have one floral pants and I almost never wear it. For some stupid reason I feel so self conscious in it. LOL!

Ahh, girl you should so wear them! I think they are so pretty!
Great post! Love florals!!!!
Thank-you! I do too 🙂
Anything floral makes me happy! I love those cute little flower pot cookies, what a great idea!! Yay for your vacation coming up soon! xo, Kristina
I love anything floral too! Thank-you! 🙂
Those flower pot cookies are so cute! i have never seen a cookie like that before! I would love to know how to make those 🙂
Cookie cups are super easy to make! You take some cookie dough whether it’s homemade or store bought and shape it into a muffin tin. Then you bake it and you can fill it with all sorts of things, such as ice cream, caramel, pudding, the possibilities are endless! You should try it 😉
I love love love that floral dress! I’d wear it all the time. And those desserts are adorable.
Isn’t it so pretty?! I love cute desserts too!
I can’ t get enough florals during this time of year either- love all your picks! Those ladybug pretzels are too fun, love ’em! 🙂
Thank-you! Aren’t they adorable?
Those floral outfits are great, especially the first one with the lace top. 🙂 And I just fell in love with those lady bug pretzels! So cute!!
I think floral and lace go together so nicely, too! & those pretzels would be so cute for a party!
I’m loving florals, too! In clothes, but also in pretty much everything else. I’m such a fan that I’ll probably go overboard with them in my daughter’s nursery.
Aw, floral anything for little girls is so cute! 🙂
I’m loving floral this spring! I can’t fit anything else in my closet but I want to shop so badddd
The struggle is real for me right now, because I just cleaned out my closet and I’m having a garage sale this weekend, and I’m trying really hard to keep it organized and work with what I got, but then I see all this pretty stuff haha
Oh I love floral patterns, always have! So excited for summer! And I’m wishing someone would make me those cute ‘lil desserts 😉
Me too! 🙂
The ladybug pretzels are so cute!
I thought so too, Holly!
I am also loving florals! It’s addicting to say the least. And how could you not love cute desserts. 🙂
Exactly! Great minds think alike 😉
My favorite is the flower pot desserts. So cute.
I think those are my favorite too, Karen. Thank-you!
I love those shorts! They are so cute. I also love those little flower pots for a dessert!
Me too Heather! I’m a sucker for cute desserts- haha 🙂
I’ve been loving florals lately too…I used to hate them. But this year, not so much. Seriously, some of those desserts are too cute to even eat!!!
xo, Lily
Beauty With Lily
I agree, they definitely are almost too cute to eat…almost 😉
Those desserts are so cute! I see things like that and always wish I had the talent and patience to do that sort of thing.
The little cookie cups shouldn’t be hard at all! Just put some cookie dough in a muffin tin, bake, fill it up with dirt (aka crushed oreo) and pop in some little flower sticks. They’d be so cute for a party! 🙂
Loving this list! I love that you’re boys are so excited for your family vacation, what a fun memory they’ll have going into adulthood! Hopefully the days fly by for you (I’m sure they will, the year is almost half gone arleady!!!) XO -Kim
Thank-you! I can’t wait. The last time I went I was finishing up my Master’s and had to do homework the entire time and didn’t get to enjoy it much. This time, I will be enjoying every second! 🙂 Have a great day Kim!
Those ladybug pretzels are just so darn cute.
I agree Candy! 🙂
Those little flower /flower pot deserts are just adorable!!!!
I thought so too! I could see it being really cute for a little girl’s birthday party or even a baby shower or something.
Love all the floral for Spring!
Thank-you! Me too!
Those floral picks are adorable! Spring is so fun! I just wish it would finally warm up here. Also, those lady bug pretzels are so cute and look delicious!

Thank-you! I know, I feel the same way- the high today is supposed to be 50. It’s like what happened to spring? Bring it back! haha
I definitely feel you about needing some relaxation time! I’m a teacher and you can tell right now that the students and the teachers are excited for summer. Although that usually gets pretty busy as well. Always good to have a trip or something to look forward to!
I agree, Lydia! I can only imagine how restless kids get towards the end of the year. Kudos to you and all the other teachers! 🙂
Love those florals too! Great choices!
Thank-you!
I don’t have many spring floral prints, but I do have a pair of white jeans that I’ve just been loving being able to wear again with other pastel, springtime colors!
Yes, me too! White pants are so nice to wear in the spring months, especially paired with bright, pretty colors!
I am a sucker for bite sized foods.
Me too! What is it about mini foods being a. so adorable and b. it makes you feel better about eating it because somehow you feel like the calories don’t count-haha
Those desserts make me want to buy a cute apron and get to baking. Such a fun, lovely post to read. Thanks for sharing, I love Spring fashion as well. Everything feels and looks much brighter, plus it is an excuse to buy new clothes for me haha x

Thank-you! I agree, you have to add some bright pretty colors to your wardrobe 😉
I love the cute treats! Those flower pot cookies are so fun!
I also love that picture of Chelsea on the playground. I haven’t seen that post yet!
Aren’t they so cute? Yes! Give it a read, it was a great post!
i love floral patterns too but when i tried one on, i looked like a doily 🙁
That happens sometimes with really busy patterns on petite girls like us, but I’d challenge you to keep trying on patterns, and I’m sure you’ll find one you love 😉
The Outer Banks would be such a fun trip!!! Reminds me of all the Sparks books 🙂 Hopefully it will be here before you know it! Love all your floral clothing inspiration!
Yes! We love spending time there, and it’s so peaceful it does make you feel like you’re in a Nicolas Sparks movie or book-haha 🙂
Those desserts are too cute!
I agree! My kids always love any desserts that have the little candy eyes, so I think they’ll really like the pretzels. 🙂
Since the weather finally warmed up, I’ve been looking at nothing but florals! There’s nothing like transitioning from a practically all black wardrobe to full on floral lol
I agree! I love all the pretty florals for spring and summer! 🙂
Hang in there beach is almost here. Love the photos. Woman hanging on playground equipment was really neat. I had to look twice.
Yes, I’m definitely keeping my eye on the prize- so to speak-haha & yes Chelsea is beautiful and always has the coolest photos!
