Monogrammed Must Haves for Summer

Hey guys, who is excited for pool parties, cold drinks, watermelon, going to the beach, and everything else associated with summer? I know I am! When I use to live in Florida, you would find me at the beach ever chance you got. I lived so close I would run to the beach from my apartment. Now that I live back in Houston and with a little toddler in tow, the neighborhood pool, or a weekend trip to Galveston is where we spend most of our summer.

Below are some of my monogrammed must haves for the summer, and where you can get your very own too! Continue reading “Monogrammed Must Haves for Summer”
