Scenes from the weekend...

Happy Monday, friends! I don't know about you but for once I'm actually feeling refreshed and ready to start this week. We have been in constant motion since we got back from the beach, and finally this weekend we were able to catch our breath! Kicked off the weekend with some family pics Friday night. It was so much fun and the boys were hamming it up! Cannot wait to share soon! Saturday was declared family fun day. We had no plans until that night so we made the most of time with our sweet bubs. Exploring Gentry's Farm never disappoints! The boys loved it and I loved the time with just our family. Wrapped up the afternoon with a park picnic and a little fishing. G was so disappointed he didn't catch a fish. Next time! Raced home to freshen up and head to dinner and a show with some friends. Ended the weekend with the laziest Sunday, and it was absolute perfection!

Halloween PJ Party!

These little funny bones are so excited Halloween week is finally here! We've been decorating, making spooky treats for school and eating way too much candy corn. The boys have a costume parade and festival at school this week, and we're hosting our third annual costume party. Cannot wait for all the fun!

Thanks to these lovelies for hosting such a fun link-up!

Scenes from the weekend...

Hello! I promise, I am alive. Ha! We got back from the beach late last week and have been in constant motion since. The beach was amazing and can't wait to share pics. Not sure how it is already Tuesday! The weekend flew by, and yesterday I hosted the most fun Halloween par-DIY. Cannot wait to share! In the meantime here are some pics from our weekend. B played a gig with our good friend Friday at one of our favorite spots. The guys sounded great, but I secretly just went for the cheese beans. Fried nuggets of cheese + three dipping sauces = heaven {and a lot of calories!}. Slept in Saturday and lounged with the bubs and some biscuits. Enjoyed the perfect fall afternoon with a birthday party and BBQ with friends. G enjoyed a cupcake, three cookies and candy that made for quite the sugared up toddler. He certainly loves him some sweets! 

Five on Friday

Happy Friday, friends! I don't know about you, but this has been the longest week ever. We have been fighting a stomach bug in our house for literally a week now. I have never been more happy to see a weekend! So let's talk about what I'm loving this week.

1. Autumn Avocado Toast

Avocado toast is my favorite, and I am totally digging this seasonal version.

2. Anthropologie Dress 

Anthro is my go-to for dresses, and I picked up this lovely a few weeks ago.

Just might have to find another {or two!} since all dresses are 15% off right now!

3. Pumpkin O's

These are a new favorite in our house right now!

The boys {and I} cannot get enough.

4. Halloween Loot Bags

We are hosting our annual family Halloween costume party later this month, and I'm thinking these loot bags are must!

5. Rosemary Beach

And this is where we are heading in the morning!

Cannot wait is an understatement.

I have never been so ready for some fun in the sun and a much needed vacation.

So what are you up to this weekend? What are you loving these days? Cheers to the weekend!

Pinspired: Rosemary and Garlic Roasted Potatoes Pizza

I always say I could live off cheese and bread alone. Well add potatoes, garlic and rosemary and you're really living! Found this bad boy on Pinterest and was pinspired to try my hand at some homemade pizza. It did not disappoint! This pizza {along with a big glass of red wine!} is my new favorite indulgence.

Love Me Some Fall Hats

Cooler temps finally appeared this weekend yet we were cooped up inside thanks to a terrible stomach that took over our house. I had to stop looking at Instagram because I was so jealous of all the trips to pumpkin patches! Fall is my absolute favorite time of year, and I love all that comes with it in the way of fashion. Sweaters, boots and scarves. It's just the best. The one piece I am absolutely loving right now is the Fall hat. I live in hats in the summer {mostly to cover my unwashed hair!} and am needing one for this new season. Here are some of my favorites right now.

So which one is your favorite? What's your go-to Fall accessory?

Five on Friday

Happy Fall y'all! So excited Five on Friday is back and what perfect timing. October is one of my favorite months and this morning I'm sharing all things Fall that I'm loving lately.

1. Fall inspired tablescape

Found these fabulous gold lanterns and paired them with some pumpkins and antlers.

Loving how it all came together!

2. Brie and Cheddar Apple Beer Soup 

Now that my table is set, I'm ready to host!

One of my favorite Fall foods is a good, hearty soup.

Dying to try this tasty one.

How scrumptious does that cinnamon pecan oat crumble look??

3. Tribal Sweater

I cannot tell you how ready I am for cooler weather and have been dreaming of sweaters.

When I saw darling Ashely sporting this cozy sweater on Instagram the other day I knew I just had to have it.

Now if I can just have some chilly temps so I can actually wear it!

4. Halloween Candy Bar

I'm hosting a Halloween themed girls night later this month and am thinking a candy bar is a must!

I have such a sweet tooth, especially when it comes to gummy candies.

5. Halloween Jammies

We love Halloween in our house and the boys are already getting in the spirit!

I know I'm biased, but how adorable are those bony boys??

So what has you excited for Fall? Are you pumpkined out yet?? Here's hoping for cool, crisp weekend weather!

No more takeout!

I love me some Chinese takeout. Especially fried rice. So I was excited to find a healthier version made with quinoa. And even more excited about how easy it is. No more takeout for us!
