Hello friends! I am *so happy* it’s October. The temperatures have cooled down and I am loving the light and feeling of fall here. We have had some fantastic weather and I am so excited for the next few months. Here are some random things on my radar lately….
One – I just ordered this dress and these boots and I LOVE THEM and hope they fit and want to wear them together 🙂
Two – Lately I have been trying to be more social and see friends multiple days a week and it is making me so happy. I’m usually such a homebody but to talk to adults I have to plan things, and leave my house, so it is some added (but minor) work. I can truly say that the highlight of my life right now is the friendships that are getting closer! I am so lucky to have so many women in my life and so many great friendships right now. Even just going for a walk with a friend improves my mood and I’m so happy when I can spend time with other moms.
Three – CAVA is one of my favorite places to eat and now they sell their sauces at Whole Foods !!!
Four – This tablecloth is my fall and winter dining room purchase and I think it’s going to be great for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I also want to add chargers like this for special occasions.
Five – These protein bars have been all over Instagram for me and I found some at Sprouts and my kids really like them. It’s hard to find allergy friendly snacks that aren’t chocolate so these are a great option for school!
Six – I had to use the Slumberpod watching a friend’s child the other day and if you don’t have one, I seriously cannot recommend it enough. It is essential for travel or even room sharing. If you’re pregnant you can even invite them to your baby shower and they might send you one as a gift! (This happened to a close friend’s sister!!!)
Seven – I’m trying to get dressed more often (out of workout clothes) and it truly does improve my mood. If you have been stuck in athleisure for years, check my Lululemon favorites 😉 but honestly, just getting out of workout clothes has made my days better.
Eight – I signed up for the Pinch of Yum fall meal plan and although I haven’t been cooking lately with travel I can’t wait to pick up the weeks I missed later. It has been such a weight lifted for meal planning and I highly recommend it. I will most likely do this every fall!
Nine – SO MANY GOOD THINGS are on sale at J.Crew!!! I have a huge roundup here and also recommend this Odette sweater. You can wear it year round because of the texture, especially in Navy. Here are some ways to style it.
Ten – I am really going to embrace the holiday decorating this year because I need some joy in my life!!! I’ll share once I figure out what I’m doing for Halloween and Thanksgiving 🙂
Have a fantastic week!
