We have quite the jam-packed schedule over the next few months! This is our busiest time of year for GMGC (our anniversary and lots of new launches), plus fun activities around the baby (baby shower and baby moon) and family things (my sister’s bachelorette party and wedding abroad), with lots more in between and after. Once the end of June comes around, right after my sister’s wedding in Ireland, my no-fly zone starts since i’ll be too far along to fly

Even though our busy schedule and frequent travels mean we don’t do too much holiday decorating (Christmas is the exception!), I love adding seasonal touches to our decor throughout the year. In spring, that means packing up the thick blankets and cozy accents we’ve had out for winter and replacing them with all things light and fresh—linen and cotton throws, candles in delicate floral scents, and fresh flowers in as many spots as possible

Especially during the warmer months, you’ll rarely find me without a basket bag in my hand. While my affinity for them began with the totes I occasionally picked up at markets and local shops while traveling, it eventually grew to include basket bags in all shapes and sizes

It’s only Wednesday, but this week already feels like so much has happened! We launched our newest GMG Collection styles on Monday, got to see our baby girl during her anatomy scan and our team here in Charleston has been prepping getting ready for a whole bunch of events we have coming up to celebrate our GMG Collection one year anniversary (keep your eyes out for some fun stuff coming your way!). Thomas and I haven’t left our desks much, but we make sure to get out in the mornings and evenings to go on walks and get our bodies moving
