Thoughts for Thursday

Can ya'll believe Thanksgiving is one week from today?  Crazy right?  

I found the cutest sparkly french fry shirt for Frances at Target this week.  She loved it of course, sparkles and her favorite food:)   I loved the pizza version too!
Another recent Frances Moon outfit.  I seriously love what she puts together.  She is very opinionated! 

I have mentioned my love for Barrington Totes on here often.  They only run a sale only once a year  and it started yesterday.  Use code VIP15 to save 15% off all orders.  
This St Anne Tote is an everyday favorite.  I used it as a diaper bag with Frances and now as a purse. 
I also love the St Charles Yacht Tote.   It is the perfect carry on size for flying because it fits right under the seat and it holds so much!

A recent outfit this week.   I have loved that is slightly cooler here!  

This was a dinner I made this week.  Roasted sweet potatoes + Sauteed Kale and broccolini + pesto quinoa.  For the quinoa I buy these pre-made cups by Cucina & Amore (see pic below).  They come in a few flavors and I love them for lunch or dinner.   I roasted the sweet potatoes with olive oil and salt.  Then I sauteed the kale and broccolini in olive oil and added balsamic vinegar at the end.     The three were a great combo together.  

This flavor is my favorite but the pesto is a close second! The sauce comes separate on top and you just mix it all together!  

I am still slowly decorating for Christmas.  It is nice since we will be gone next week to come back and have some of the decorating done before we get our tree.
I found my tall glass trees at Home goods and the smaller ones at an estate sale.  Simon Pierce makes some really gorgeous ones too but they are pricey.  
I am addicted to Hallmark and Lifetime Christmas movies.  I have watched one every single day for the past 8 days.  Not sure if I should be proud or ashamed.  But I love them. I really enjoyed The Mistletoe Promise with Jamie King.

I finally downloaded a new book and I am really enjoying it.  It is Elin Hilderbrand's Here's to Us.  I am always a fan of her books. They are usually light and easy reads.  Lately I have not wanted to read anything too heavy.  

I am getting ready to update our master bedroom.  It is the one room in our house I don't love.  I am working with Alex Kaehler again and so excited, she always puts together the best design ideas!! She helped me with my dining room and den and I both spaces so much.  These are two of my inspiration pictures for the bedroom.  


I spied the cutest holiday dress at Anthro last week.  I keep thinking about it, I love the fringe detail at the bottom.

I had this red wine recently and it is really good!



Happy Thursday.

I am obsessed with the Hallmark holiday movies too! I watch about 4 each Sunday while I do laundry and tidy up the house. I loved seeing Jaime King in one!

Can I have Francis Moon's French fry outfit? I'm in love. I am totally into the Hallmark and Lifetime movies too!
Love the bedroom inspiration, especially the nightstands in the second photo!
