Hey guys! The kids and I surprised my parents in Montana last week and it was such a good trip. It was at my family cabin where we go every summer and it was so good to be able to get some fresh air and hang out with family. Being with family always feels like the best way to recharge!

I don’t know if it’s just living out of a suitcase for a few days or living in loungewear all summer, but I am itching to put on a pretty dress! There are so many good summer dress trends right now that are going to pass us by, haha so whether you have family photos coming up, an intimate backyard wedding, or are just anxious to trade in your sweats, here are some of my favorite summer dresses online – all under $150!

DETAILS: 1. GREY DRESS (UNDER $50 – COMES IN 3 COLORS) | 2. SUNGLASSES (UNDER $100) 3. WHITE DOT OFF THE SHOULDER (UNDER $100) | 4. WOVEN BLOCK HEEL SANDAL (UNDER $100 – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | 5. RUFFLED MINI DRESS (MAJOR STEAL!) | 6. GREEN MINI DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100) | 7. YELLOW DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $100) | 8. LIP GLOSS (SHADE: ROSE ILLICITE)| 9. PINE HOOPS | 10. TIE DYE FACE MASK | 11. WHITE BACKLESS DRESS (COMES IN 4 COLORS) | 12. RUFFLED PINK SANDALS | 13. PINK MINI SATCHEL (ON SALE 50% OFF) | 14. BLUE FLORAL MINI DRESS (ON SALE UNDER $50 – ALSO COMES IN YELLOW) | 15. WOVEN HEADBAND (UNDER $50) | 16. WHITE LACE MINI DRESS (UNDER $100 – ALSO COMES IN BLACK) | 17. SILK FACE MASK | 18. LILAC MAXI DRESS (COMES IN 3 COLORS)

DROPPED HEMS: This dress comes in three colors and each one is just as good as the next. I love the dropped hem and it’s an amazing price point under $50!

OFF THE SHOULDER: Nothing handles summer heat as gracefully as an off the shoulder dress. I love the silhouette of this one –  showing some skin makes the polka dots feel a little more grown up.

RUFFLED UP: I, for one, have always said yes to a good ruffle, but if you worry about it being overwhelming or too feminine, try it with a shorter hem. I could NOT believe the price tag on this one – soooo good!

BRIGHT + BOLD: In a sea of neutrals that is my closet, I’m always craving some color. There are so many bold colors and no easier way to wear them than in a simple silhouette, like a dress. Love this bold yellow and I’m on a major neon streak – I could wear this dress on repeat!

BACKLESS BEAUTY: Never underestimate the effect of understated drama. I’m obsessed with all the back details on dresses this season. Love this cute tea dress with an open back. (Also can’t wait to wear it this fall with sheer tights and combat boots!)

RUCHED + READY: The ruched mini dress is probably my favorite addition to the summer dress trends line-up. It’s form flattering, flirty, and they have so many print and color combos that the possibilities are endless! This one is on major sale and comes in the prettiest yellow too.

LACED UP: What better way to update the lace trim than with a chic, modern silhouette? The high neckline of this dress paired with a short hem feels so young and elegant. Can’t believe this one is under $100!

MAXI MOMENT: Last but not least, the maxi dress! Free People always has the best summer dresses and did not disappoint this season. Obsessed with this lilac one!

Below are a few other summer dress trends I love! (Honestly they are all so good and great price points – need them all!)

Tennis date night! Nothing like bonding while breaking a sweat 🥰

DETAILS: TIE DYE TEE (SIMILAR HERE) | BIKE SHORTS | TENNIS SHOES | SUNGLASSES

CODY: BLACK TEE | SHORTS | TENNIS SHOES

Date nights have been a little bit different lately for everyone – not your typical dinner and a movie. Cody and I have been trying to switch things up a bit and put our heads together to get creative. Dates are so important, and even more so now! A lot of couples are spending more time than ever, but rubbing elbows working in a confined space together, helping out with chores around the house, etc. is way different than quality, date time together. One thing Cody & I have been trying to do lately is get outside and be active for our dates. I’ve actually loved it more than your usual date because we really focus on each other more and feels great to take advantage of beautiful days by moving around!

Couples who workout together stay together right? The other day we decided to dust off our tennis rackets and go get a little competitive. Cody is the most athletic person I know – he is so good at everything he tries, which makes it impossible to really compete with him haha but it’s fun to try. It was such a fun memory too, so I wanted to put together some other active date ideas to try:

1. Rollerblading.
2. Pool Olympics. Our kids insist on getting in on this one!
3. Basketball. I grew up playing basketball, so I get a little more competitive with Cody on this one, haha.
4. Garage sale challenge. A great way to minimize your home too – see who can gather the most objects!
5. Take a new workout class together.
6. Physical fitness test.  A blast from the past – did anyone else have to do physical fitness tests in elementary school?
7. Outdoor ninja warrior course. The set up is just as fun as actually running the course, not to mention watching each other attempt it haha.
8. Scavenger hunt. Have you and your partner create one then compare whose was the most fun!
9. Pickleball. A must try if you haven’t ever played – so fun.
10. Evening hike. Build a bonfire when you get to your destination!
11. Minute to win it challenges. Pinterest has great MTW ideas!
12. Croquet. This is one of my fams all-time favs!
13. Geocaching. Download the app or look up a nearby geocache online!
14. Teach each other something new.
15. Nerf fun war. The kids love to get in on this one too!
16. DIY mini-golf course. Try and see how complicated you can make each hole.
17. Fishing.
18. Make a Time Capsule. I love these so much- it’s so fun to go back and look at how much you’ve changed over the years.
19. Tennis.
20. Try a 2 person fitness challenge. We love to do team sit up with Ollie! He loves it so much!

Whats some of your favorite active date night activities with your partner? I would love to add to the list and get some new ideas! 🥰 Share some of you favorites below!
