Scenes From Our Weekend

Can y'all believe that September starts this week??  Oh my gosh, I am having major anxiety over how fast this year is flying by!!  It is going to be Christmas in the blink of eye.  Truth be told we had a really low key weekend, not one single plan.  It honestly was nice, sometimes you need a weekend with nothing to do. 

Thursday night we enjoyed some time out on our patio while we waited for pizza to be delivered.  I am wearing the gray jeans I blogged about Friday.  I just love the light color. 

Crossbody | Sandals | Sunglasses | Jeans | Bracelets

Friday after school I took the kids to Jeni's ice cream.  I had been promising them ice cream all week.  I have been trying to not eat many sweets but I just could not resist.  I had the Salted Peanut Butter with Chocolate Flecks and it was simply amazing.

Friday night OOTD.  my tee shirt is now on sale 40% off and only $21 now:)

Tee Shirt | Necklace | Shorts | Purse

Saturday morning the boys went to the beach to look for shark's teeth so Frances and I went to the gym and ran a few errands.  I let her wear her Princess costume and she was so excited.  I love her infectious smile.  These pictures just make me happy every time I look at them.

Saturday night we made our favorite Cauliflower Tacos but with lettuce instead of shells.  I didn't even miss the shell.

Saturdays OOTD.  This tee shirt dress has my go-to dress this Summer and it is now on sale!  I am wearing a size 1 for reference, I would equate that to a size small.

This book has blown me away.  I finished it in 3 days and I swear I am about to read it again, it's that good.

Sunday was a church and pool day. 

Cover-Up/Dress  also here on sale | Hat | Sandals | Tote

We stopped by CVS to get a few things and all the Halloween stuff was out.  We had a little fun with the masks:)

This chopped salad is my new go-to salad.  

Chopped spinach + cherry tomatoes + cucumber + red bell pepper + kalamata olives + hearts of palm + pepperoncinis + red onion.  Then I mix olive oil, red wine vinegar and salt and pepper for the dressing.

Who would think a pool float is more fun inside than at the pool?  These two love to play with the floats inside.

Bedtime snuggles.  I honestly cant get over how big Sterling is getting.  He is about to be taller than me soon! 

Have a great start to your week!

Saturday Style + Shopping Deals

I hope everyone's Saturday is off to a good start.  Now that school is back in session we are all used to getting up early so even on the weekends the kids are up bright and early.   Today Sterling is off for a fun class on sharks and to hunt shark's teeth and Frances and I are headed to the gym and to run errands.

I have mentioned my love for this burnout tee on here several times before and now it is 40% off!  That makes it only $21!  I have it in white, black and green.

I am wearing a medium because I wanted a loose slouchy fit.  I wore the green last night.

Lots of great end of summer sales.  A few items I own and really like are marked down.  If I had a picture of myself wearing the item I included it so you could see how it fits. 

Piper Dress also HERE in more sizes

I have a small in this dress.  It also comes in red.

Piper Cover-Up

I have an XS in this.  This is lined so I think you might could wear it as a dress but it is pretty short on me so I wear it as a cover-up.  It also comes in blue.  

Dolce Vita Wedges

I love these wedges because they are comfortable and not too high.

I am wearing them here, they are great with dresses and jeans.

Dress | Necklace is Empire State Finery + Gigi Purse 

These white jeans are my absolute favorite.  I actually love all the McGuire jeans because they fit so well.  These sit a little higher up on your hips and suck in the flab.  They are not see through and they offer the perfect amount to stretch.

I love the beautiful colors in this blouse!!  I have an XS in small in this style.

I don't own this dress but I have had my eye on it for awhile.  It is the same style as my blouse above. I like the Navy for Fall.

I don't own this dress either but I really like the style.  You could wear this well into Fall.  It would be really cute paired with booties.

Happy Saturday and Happy Shopping! 

Thoughts For Friday

Happy Friday Friends!  We survived week two back to school and are finally getting back into a good schedule/routine.  Sterling has his first spelling test today,  I can't believe all this is starting in first grade.  I helped him study last night and I think he is gonna do great- thank goodness he is a better speller than me:)

Wednesday I went out to dinner with a few of my best girlfriends to celebrate the first week of school.  We tried out Little Jack's Tavern.  I had heard rave reviews so I was excited to try it out and it did not disappoint.  Between the 4 of us we had the Chopped Salad, Artichoke Gratin, Roasted Veggie Salad, Tavern Burger and Crudites with Avocado Mouse.  The Crudites were so simple but so amazing.  They were drizzled with olive oil and thick sea salt.  Dipped in the avocado sauce it was the perfect combo.  I can't wait to try and make this at home.

I wore my new Mara Dress.  I just love the pastel colors.  I am wearing a size small it runs TTS.

Dress  also here in Turquoise | Purse | Sunglasses | Sandals

I love this picture of me and my friend Krystine.  We were clearly excited for a night out.

All of us ladies.

Two new favorite accesories for Fall.

Cross body (in  5 colors) | Necklace

I am so excited because I just heard Narcos is coming out with season 2.  We just finished up Bloodline so this is perfect timing! 

My friend Jess who writes the blog Bare Beauty Blog just had her eco friendly home featured on My Domaine.  She did a wonderful job with the space using sustainable materials yet still keeping the historic charm of the house.  Speaking of how gorgeous is Jess?  If you don't follow her blog you should!  She has such great tips on clean beauty products and clean living.

I am currently working on Frances Moon's big girl room.  She is so ready for her big girl bed and keeps asking me when she gets to sleep in it.  She has even been napping in Sterling's bed while he is at school,  so I know she is ready!   I will be sad to take down her crib but I am happy because my sister in law is pregnant and she is going to use it!   I ordered a few things so far and this adorable unicorn lamp just arrived today.  

Unicorn Lamp (15% off right now)

Frances is unicorn obsessed these days.  My sister in law gave her this unicorn purse and I think it may be her favorite accessory yet!  

My favorite McGuire Jeans are now out in a new gray distressed wash that is amazing.   I love the fit of these jeans and this color is so fresh for Fall.

Newton Skinny

I just started this book and it has immediately sucked me in.  I read almost 100 pages last night.  Download it if you want to read something inspiring and moving.  Glennon's  stories about motherhood, marriage and life in general are so funny and relatable. 

Have a fabulous weekend!  I'll be back tomorrow with some fun Saturday shopping deals!
