Friday Favorites - Hurry Up Fall Edition!

Hey, friends! It's FRIDAY!!! WOO HOO!!!
This week has ended REALLY great and I am loving my classes this year - but I am ready to sleep in past 5:15 a.m. for a couple of days as well.  The pic below will be on my SmartBoard as kids come in to my room today :)  I have a feeling they're ready to sleep in as well.


and then I saw this....

.... hahahahaha!!!!  SO SO SO TRUE! :) 

Either way - I am looking forward to a couple of days of downtime with my crew.

If you're linking up with us for Friday Favorites - don't forget to grab our graphic below, link to one (or all!) of us and blog about your Friday Favorites!  That's it!

Momfessionals

I am BEYOND ready for cooler weather.  I realize that this is annoying since I live in Texas and it will be 90+ for AT LEAST another month. But a girl can dream :)  I love the decorating, the early nights, the coziness.... and the clothes.  I LURVE Fall clothes.  Since we don't really need big winter coats, I LOVE the Boden Shaggy hoodies for my boys. They're definitely not cheap, but they last AT LEAST two entire years, wash beautifully and are crazy warm.

I am loving this one for Mason...

Luke will probably need something a little heavier (and maybe not quite as "bold" hahaha) for school - and I'm loving that this quilted jacket is reversible (because if he gets it messy on a non-laundry day I can reverse it and he can wear it the next day). hahaha
It should come as no surprise that G has a surplus of coats ready for Fall.... but IF she needed another one this one would be on the top of my list.





And since I'm on a Fall kick.... if you don't already have a blardigan, you should probably pick one up now so you can enjoy it ALL Fall/Winter :)


I wear mine every. single. day.  Once Fall hits you MAY even see me wearing it out of the house.  It's that good. :)

Wednesday morning we saw our FAVORITE fellow Starbucks customer, Mr. Ron!!!
We'd missed him LOTS this summer - and he missed Luke as well! 
If you don't know who Mr. Ron is - check out this post :)



Despite how ready I am for Fall - it's still technically Summer - and some of my best girlfriends and I headed to Mi Cocina Wednesday night to celebrate some summer birthdays.  My FAVORITE tacos with my FAVORITE girls :)


When I did my beauty bag review a while ago, I talked briefly about the Clinique Moisture Surge sample that was included - but OH EM GEE.  I've been using it faithfully and honestly, I look forward to putting it on every night.  It's INCREDIBLE! And by far my current FAVORITE beauty product.


This donut pullover sweater from Target has me on the fence.  On the one hand I think it would look SUPER cute with a plaid collared shirt under it and skinny jeans - but then I keep going back to the fact it has a donut on it. hahaha.  I have it in my cart and will hopefully pull the trigger this weekend.  It's $22.99 which I think is also influencing my decision.... I need help from my FAVORITE readers! :)



Also.... since LOTS of your sweet kiddos are heading back to school this coming week, I thought I'd leave you with some of my FAVORITE back to school posts!

Read about our Back-to-school Dinner HERE, check out my recipe for the BEST back to school cupcakes, read about Shay and my Kindergarten Kickoff Dinner  and see how I decorate for back-to-school.

Hope y'all have the best weekend!!! :)

  4. Mi Cocina, yum! My husby is from Dallas and I swear when we go back to visit we talk endlessly about how we are so excited for the food. And I'd totally rock that donut sweater. Donut runs, drive-throughs at Dunkin's, National Donut Day, there are a million occasions for it! :)

  13. Love the Mr. Ron story! Those jackets are adorable. Too bad we don't have jacket weather here in Florida until about late January, maybe I can grab them on sale? You seem like the coolest teacher! I hope you get to relax and enjoy your weekend!!

  15. Love those coats! If you aren't sure you will definitely wear the donut shirt then I would just save my money. If it goes on clearance and they have your size then it was meant to be. Just my two cents.

  17. Most Important, Mr Ron looks likes he rocks, just like you do! Second the donut sweater....I think a) you can rock it at school, and b) you must be skinny to wear it, like you! You girls are SO lucky to have each other as friends!
