Social distancing at my in-laws lake house for the

Social distancing at my in-laws lake house for the next two weeks was worth the 1,000+ mile drive. 🙌🏻We haven’t seen any family since last year and we are so happy to have this time together. Here’s to boat rides, board games, and reading books with a view! While the whole virus thing sucks overall, I’m totally on board with this slower pace of life. 💙

Do you have pets? Ours have been loving all the extra family time this year. ⁣ ⁣ And what a difference seven months makes for a GSD puppy! Theo (right) now has 20+ lbs on Jax (left). ⁣ ⁣ Swipe to see how small Theo was the week we brought him home last November. ⁣ ⁣ He’s now ten months and the only thing about him that still screams puppy is his boundless energy and his awkwardly adorable and oafish saunter. ⁣ ⁣ If we had land, I’d totally be “that crazy GSD dog lady”! ❤️

Hey look, I wore real clothes today!⁣ ⁣ My daughter said, “Mommy! Why are you so fancy today? We usually only ever see you in workout clothes!” 🤣 ⁣ ⁣ Since I got dressed for a grocery store run (yes, I wore a mask), I had to share this maxi dress with you for a few reasons:⁣ ⁣ 🖤 It’s on Amazon Prime and under $30.⁣ 🖤 It may look like a dress but it’s as comfy as my workout clothes.⁣ 🖤 IT. HAS. POCKETS.⁣ 🖤 The fit is super flattering even on “those” days.⁣ 🖤 It is a super soft and stretchy t-shirt like material doesn’t wrinkle so it doesn’t need ironed or steamed. (Fun fact: Things look worse after I iron them than they did before.)⁣ 🖤 It comes in a bunch of patterns and colors. I plead the fifth when it comes to how many of them I own. 🤐⁣ ⁣ Side notes:⁣ 🖤 It would look even better if I put on a proper bra instead of the flimsy yoga one I have on, but that would just be taking things too far right now. 😜⁣ 🖤 I’m 5’9” and it’s not floor length on me like it is on the model, but it’s still long enough to be cute. I’m wearing a medium and I think it runs super true-to-size.⁣ 🖤 The tag says to hang dry, but I wash it on delicate (cold) and dry it on extra low all the time and it hasn’t shrunk at all. ⁣ ⁣ 🛍 You can instantly shop my home and style looks by following me on the @liketoknow.it app or by visiting http://liketk.it/2RwCC ⁣ ⁣ #liketkit #LTKstyletip #LTKunder50 #LTKSummer #ootd #shopmystyle #shopmylook #LTKfashion

Let’s be real. The last time any of my kid’s bedrooms looked this clean was before the stay-at-home virus days. 😜⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ 🖤 You can find more pics and full details on this room on the blog. ⁣ https://dawnnicole.co/modern-floral-bedroom/⁣⁣ ⁣ 🖤 Shop your screenshot of this pic with the @liketoknow.it shopping app or at http://liketk.it/2RvzA ⁣ ⁣ #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKkids #LTKhome ⁣

The rest of my weekend is all booked up. 🙌🏻🤓📚

A little downtown Charleston Charm. 🙌🏻⁣ ⁣ I love walking around the historic district and snapping photos. This dreamy home with shutters in my favorite color has me all 😍😍😍. ⁣ ⁣ If you’ve never visited before, add Charleston to your wanderlust list. It’s so rich with history, and we have an amazing foodie scene, fabulous boutique shopping, and several beaches!⁣ ⁣ Before the virus, we had planned for the Hubby to retire from the Air Force and stay here forever. This is the city where we met, got married, and started our family, so it holds a special place in our hearts.⁣ ⁣ But the job security of being Active Duty makes the most sense now, so there’s a very high chance we will have to move again next Summer. (If we have to leave CHS I’m praying they send us to Hickam AFB in Hawaii! 😂)⁣ ⁣ In the meantime, I feel lucky every day we get to call Charleston home. 💖

I don’t know which sleepyheads are harder to get

I don’t know which sleepyheads are harder to get out of bed in the mornings this Summer, the kids or the dogs! ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ After all these months of eLearning, our early mornings are a thing of the past, and alarms will be a rude awakening when (if?) school resumes normally in August.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One thing that is always sure to get them out of bed is when I ring the dinner bell and yell “donuts”! 😋⁣⁣ ⁣ ⁣ 🖤 You can instantly shop all of my home + style looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app (@dawnnicoleco)⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🖤 You can also shop this pic via this link http://liketk.it/2R3Eq ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome @liketoknow.it.home @liketoknow.it

Have you ever had two doors in your house that ope

Have you ever had two doors in your house that opened into each other and the handles always got stuck together (often smashing your fingers)?!⁣ ⁣ That was how our bathroom and linen closet doors were up until today. We talked about a pocket door but decided that project would be beyond our DIY skills.⁣ ⁣ Instead, we purchased and installed this sliding herringbone barn door kit. It totally solves the problem and it looks adorable too!⁣ ⁣ It’s hard to see the herringbone details in a photo but in person they really pop. 🙌🏻 Swipe for an up close detail shot.⁣ ⁣ 🖤 You can instantly shop all of my looks by following me (@dawnnicoleco) in the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app.⁣ ⁣ You can also head to this link:http://liketk.it/2R2o8 ⁣ ⁣ @liketoknow.it @liketoknow.it.home ⁣ #liketkit #StayHomeWithLTK #LTKhome
