MJ Fall Release 2 - Mix and Match Pictures

The second release of Fall Matilda Jane is out today and it's so cute it makes us SQUEAL!

You can check everything out HERE and once you create your wishlist you can email it to my trunk keeper, Kat, at katkempson@matildajaneclothing.com and put Andrea in as your Jane!

Feel free to email me or Kat with any questions you have (or leave them in the comments) and send your wishlists in ASAP (preferably by 10 a.m. CST on Tuesday, September 1st).  Kat or I will be in touch to get your payment info tomorrow! :)

I went to Kat's house to play yesterday and loved everything that we tried on.

This top is a baby item, but the 18/24 month size fit Griffin with PLENTY of room.

These ruffles ran BIG, but I'll probably order them anyway and hike them up because the floral is DARLING!

How precious are Kat's daughters?!?!?!

This sweatshirt is soft and cozy without being super warm.  The deer print is super sweet.

The baby dress on the left is one of my FAVORITES...

So this is the exact same sweater on Griffin and on Kat's daughter Madi (who's 6).  It's a size 6 and it fits Madi like it's designed to (cropped and fitted), but I LOVE the baggy oversized look on G!  I'm planning on ordering her a 6 and having her wear it loose and oversized for the next two years and then fitted after that.  You can't beat a sweater that she'll be able to get 4+ years of wear out of :)  It was extra soft and not itchy at all and the little buttons down the side are all different fabrics.  The sweater may have been my favorite piece from the entire release!

 

This is Griffin in a size 4 top, which is what I plan on ordering her . The sleeves were a bit long, but they were elasticized so you couldn't really tell.  But I loved the length of the size 4 on her.

This poncho is fleece lined and is AWESOME!!!  I got it for GG and can't WAIT for her to wear it!!!

Favorite Things Party - Favorite Summer Moment

This summer was a great one and Erika and I thought it would be a fun idea to mix it up a bit and all share our favorite summer moment.  It would have been convenient if I had remembered this before I did a post all about our summer, but no worries - I picked three FAVORITE moments to talk about today :)

When I think about summer with my kids, I always think about ice cream at the pool.  The pool has been super stressful for me the past couple of years because of babies and swim diapers and floaties and sunscreen and, let's be real, having three kids in the water to watch and this summer I felt like the clouds lifted a teeny bit and the pool became more fun and less stressful.  I relaxed, exhaled a bit and then w ate way too much ice cream, got way too pruney and used up too many bottles of sunscreen.... and it was perfect.  

This video of Griffin jamming out to some live music at the pool is one that will be forever embedded in my memory.  The little head lilt, the wet curls and eating her cone with a spoon :)

During our very first week of summer, Dave and I had a "Just Luke Day" and the absolute joy on his face with an entire day of doing exactly what he wanted to do, on his timeline was the BEST.

Next is this moment with Mason in the parking lot at school.  I had to run up there to grab something and he came with me and I opened the car doors and started the ignition to get the air going before we got in and he thought it was a good time for a dance party.  I have no idea if he's going to be this uninhibited and silly next summer, so I'm eating it up this year.

PS - his "tomahawk" move KILLS me!!!

Last up is our time at the creek in Colorado.

Getting our toes wet, throwing rocks and enjoying each other.

This summer was a GREAT one with lots of favorite moments.  I can't wait to hear about YOUR favorite moments!

Friday Favorites - End of August Edition

When the school posted the following photos they were automatically my FAVORITE from the week.    They're our entire lower school (PK-5th grade) praying together for our school year during their chapel.  LOVE our school!

Can you spot Mason???  Far left... little guy :)

Dave and GG killed it with my FAVORITE "Happy Morning Pics" ;)

She is still obsessed with the neighbors ceramic bunny. hahaha

So Griffin is WAY better at taking a picture than I am.  I asked Dave to snap a picture of me in this dress yesterday after school and got this.  And yes, Mason is giving me the side eye ;)

I've decided to single handedly attempt to bring back clogs.  Some of y'all are shooting me the side eye (ala Mason), but I'm obsessed.

So fun, right?!?!?! I picked this pair up at Free People last year but these are similar and so so so cute!

  

And in true fashion blogger form (insert sarcastic eye roll here), I threw on a pair of jeans with my dress so you could see how stinkin' cute the clogs are going to be with jeans and sweaters this Fall.  Hop on the clog train, girls.... you won't be sorry. ;)

Dress / Similar Clogs / Jeans / Bag

So I love dresses and looking cute for school and all of that, but my FAVORITE is layering on the comfy when I get home :)  #amen

Griffin feels the same way about PJs that I do and she's been LOVING her new Halloween jammies from Crystal Faye.  (She's sold out of Halloween jammies, but if you follow her on Instagram she'll be posting extra Christmas ones you can snag!)

   

   

So Luke has been running ahead of me and Mason in the mornings (he's been trading Lego mini figures in the multi-purpose room before school. hahaha), but don't feel too sorry for Mason.  The big kids are his FAVORITE and I think they like him a little bit, too.

I got Griffin ready for bed the other night and the boys were out back with Dave.  Being with her brothers is her FAVORITE and she was not loving being inside while they were out.  I caught her climbing, peeking and jabbering at her brothers through the window.

The boys have been bringing home lots of super cute school work and I decided to throw our hodge podge of crummy magnets away and picked up a whole bunch of these stainless steel clips.  The papers don't fly off the fridge, they're strong enough that crafts and such don't pull the magnets down the fridge and they're on the less ugly side ;) hahaha  And they were cheap!  BONUS!  It's silly how happy these made me, but they were totally a FAVORITE from the week. 

 And since we're talking about art, Mason has taken an interest in making artwork for me after school and yesterday I received a self portrait of him as well as a picture of him at the base of a clock tower and all of his friends on the floors above him.

He also made a rainbow and, my personal FAVORITE, a drawing of him driving a boat with me parasailing behind him. :)

Luke has been producing some quality journals as well :)

This is an awful picture, but this dress is so comfy and cute and is under $35 at Anthropologie (All the sale items are an extra 30% off).  It came in the mail last night and I just slipped it on, but I think it will be cute with a cardigan as we head into Fall and then great for next summer as well.  The fabric is so cute!

There are several other great pieces marked down as well, click below to grab some fun pieces at great prices! (Click the pictures to shop)

       

Last up, the boys FAVORITE moment from the week (by far!) was Tuesday night when Dave and my Dad took them fishing after bedtime :) 

Apparently shoes are optional when fishing. 

They caught and released, had the most fun and then came home and went straight into the shower. 

 We're ready for the weekend and I hope y'all have a fantastic and restful time with your families!  HAPPY FRIDAY, FRIENDS!
