May, my favorite month of the year, is here! May is just the best. The weather gets warm. Wildflowers explode onto the scene. The Kentucky Derby happens (this weekend!). There are tons of events and festivities around Indianapolis. And most importantly, it’s my birthday month! The cherry on top this year is that my birthday — May 10 — is the same day that The Great Gatsby comes out. Fate.

We have a full month of fun planned, starting this weekend with a visit from Vanessa and William. You might remember these two from their wedding, which I posted about last spring (can’t believe their one year is coming up so quickly). And I threw Vanessa’s bachelorette party a year ago this weekend.

We have no plans set in stone, except to watch the Derby, and I’m definitely making mint juleps! There’s an arts and crafts festival going on in our town Saturday that we might go to, but right now the weather forecast looks dreary (boo!).

What’s on your calendar this weekend?!

May is here! Yesterday, the best month of the year was rung in with some crazy thunderstorms followed by sun and humidity — just how I like it. May is my favorite month of the year for a slew of reasons:

  • Mostly because my birthday is May 10.
  • The Kentucky Derby is in May. Did you know I’m from Kentucky and I love horses?
  • This year, I get to be MOH in Vanessa’s wedding during May!
  • Peonies bloom in May — my favorite flower.
  • Mother’s Day is in May. I was born on Mother’s Day!
  • During college, May meant spring term.
  • Memorial Day weekend rounds out the month with a fun three-day weekend.
  • You really start to see summery weather during May.

Speaking of summery weather, the shirt above is one of my favorites from Anthropologie. I got it last year [on sale because that’s all I can afford there] to wear on our honeymoon. It combines two favorites: florals and stripes.

On this particular day, I had to cover the cute shirt up a little bit with a shrug because it was chilly, but I’m hoping that next time I break it out, it’ll be hot and sunny!
