Yesterday was a perfect fall day, I wish we could hold onto it forever. 60 degrees and the most gorgeous fall leaves lining our property. We turned on our fireplace (we recently converted it to gas! details on that soon) and sat outside and soaked it all in. We put our deck furniture in storage for the winter and I’m going to miss looking outside and seeing this every day.
More fun things this week!
• @thefauxmartha is one of my favorite Instagram accounts to follow and yesterday she had this beautiful graphic in her stories. When I told her how gorgeous it was, she said “I edited it in snapped and did the text overlay in there! It was magic.” So, she’s a magician in every sense.
• This bow-neck sweater from JCrew Factory would be so beautiful in holiday pictures!
• Every guy at every hardware store…(I am STILL cracking up!)
• How cool is this hand vase? (Do you think it comes with those florals? ;)
• I know it’s not even Halloween yet, but I’m already stocking up on this Kraft Gold gift wrap and the matte black is equally amazing. Chicest gifts ever.
• Sometimes when I’m nursing Polly, I buy things and then I forget about it until they arrive, sometimes I don’t even remember buying it–it’s dangerous. And I’ve done this with baby.  I’ve order art, home decor, clothing, shoes. Last night, at 4:30 am I bought these Birkenstocks for something warm and cozy to slip on during the colder months and this morning, I’m questioning…are they cute? Or were my feet just cold?
• The other day I snapped this photo with my phone when I caught Faye talking to herself in the mirror. I remember, as a little girl, doing the same thing when I would do “Cleaning Shows” while it was my turn to clean the bathroom. Which, I mean, why aren’t cleaning shows a thing!?  (See more of their bathroom, with all the sources, here!)
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! We have so many big projects coming up, it almost feels like this is our last weekend to just relax until Christmas!
I am in the middle of a Birkenstock love affair so I support the purchase, impulse or not! I lived in my Mayaris this summer and was mourning having to put them away for the fall/winter when I found Sarnia boots… hello new staple boots! I am breaking them in now and so excited! (Also eying Amsterdam, the Taupe is sorta chic, right?…someone stop me!) Enjoy your cozy feet!!!
I think the birks are cute! But I’m not some posh New Yorker: I’m a New Englander, so I’m thinking we’re in the same general head space on practicality and warmth! I’ve been looking at some of their clogs myself – maybe for the Christmas list. You go, mama. Your feet will be happy :)
Can totally relate to middle of the night feeding/shopping sprees! Have you seen that meme where Maury says: you claimed breast feeding would save money. Your online shopping while nursing has determined that was a lie. Ha!
Hahaha haha!!! Amazing. I need to track that down.
I did the exact same thing when nursing my babies! They were both born in the fall and I swear I did most of my Christmas shopping (and impulse shopping) during their first few months of life. I just completely weaned my youngest baby as of yesterday (he’s 13 months old now) which will hopefully mean more sleep for me, but definitely less middle of the night shopping. Enjoy that precious time with your baby. As I’m sure you know, it’s bittersweet when the breastfeeding journey comes to an end.
So I’m currently nursing and I just added another thing to my Amazon cart, but here’s what saves me. I click on ‘save for later’. That way, when the fog clears I can re-evaluate if I really want or need it.
Smart!
