Amazon Lately

 

Someone sent me a picture of these sparkly clogs on instagram and I immediately added them to my cart! HOW GOOD ARE THESE?!?!?! They aren't in yet but as soon as they get here I'll be sharing IRL life pics!

What's Up Wedesday

      Today I'm linking up with  Shay and  Sheaffer to talk a little bit about what's been going on around here! I started this post Tuesday afternoon and then was IN BED AND ASLEEP by 8:30 Tuesday night and never finished! So here we are ;)

Not me but Luke took on the "zipper ripper' challenge at some burger restaurant they always eat at after cross country state on Monday. I AM UNWELL!!! It's a 5-patty burger and one pound of fries and you have 12 minutes to eat the whole thing.

He did not complete the challenge but came close. He said the mayo on the bottom bun held him back ;) hahaha

Five Follows

Back today with another edition of Five Follows - where I share Five accounts that brighten my scroll ;) 

First up is Alycia - she shares recipes that all look delish and simple but I could listen to her talk all day - hahaha I love that her recipes are more "methods" and less exact and she makes a really wide variety of foods as well which has given me some much needed inspo.

Spooky Recipe Ideas

 Can y'all believe HAlloween is this weekend?!?!? I thought I'd reshare a few spooky recipe ideas in case you're startign to think about your plans for next week like I am!

I know I've thought I was busy before I took this new job but I've never been busier than I am right now as evidenced by my utter lack of posting!

This week was Amplify week in middle school which is a spirit week I created just for middle school full of games, competitions, spirit dress days, football games, and a barn dance. It's currently 12:35 am on Friday morning and I have about 1000 photos to go through from the week and I just don't have the brain power to do it tonight. I'll be back later today with the rest of the post but for now enjoy this PRECIOUS pic of my Rory Gilmore ;) 

 

HAPPY Friday, friends!

 

Reading Recap

 Calamity Club

Y'ALL. This book!!! I went into Calamity Club not really knowing what to expect, and let me just tell you... I was NOT prepared for all the feelings.

Fall/Halloween Picture Book Recs

 This post grows year after year and it makes my heart SO HAPPY!

I don't think you ever really "outgrow" a great picture book and I love the idea of having this collection of books for years to come.

Check these out and add a few new ones to your collection or to your library wishlist!

Halloween in the Orchard is a new addition (I'm super picky) and I LOVE IT!!!  It's the same series as the gorgeous "Thanksgiving in the Woods" book and it's just everything.

Weekend Recap

 I did not mean to go dark on Friday but Thursday KICKED MY BUTT and I crashed before I hit publish on my post! Then Friday morning came bright and early and I hit the ground running and didn't even realize I hadn't finished my blog until Saturday afternoon. WHOOPSIES!!! 

Life has been FULL and fun and non-stop, y'all! 

Friday started off with some super cool temperatures (seriously... like in the low 50s which was NUTS!) and some crazy winds AND some extra fun middle school announcements featuring our House leaders in their outer space pep rally attire. G and her bestie, AJ, are both House leaders and they couldn't have looked cuter! They're both down for a theme which you know I love!

Tomato Cream Sausage Pasta

 This recipe comes together SO quick and easy and is a top 10 staple in my house. I love that I usually have all of these ingredients on hand and that it's creamy without being super heavy.

Halloween Touches

 

It's mid-way through October and I'm finally getting around to sharing the Halloween touches around our house!

First up - in the front entry I have this giant spider (it's wicker and I found it at Homegoods) and I love how it looks!

Gilmore Gift Guide ;)

 

Griffin recently watched the entire Gilmore Girls series with me adn to say she's obsessed wold be an understatement ;) I've been browsing GG merch to start stashing away for Christmas and wanted to share some of my best finds in case you have a Gilmore Girls lover on your shopping lists this year as well!

First up - are SO CUTE and would be a perfect stocking stuffer.
