    That dress seriously is the perfect summer piece. It’s such a pretty shape and pattern, it could so easily be dressed up or down! You look gorgeous as always, and little (maybe not so litle anymore) Finn is just the cutest!

        You are so sweet, thank you! I like to think that Finn is still little, so we’ll just stick with that. 🙂
