J was so excited to have a big cheering section at his game this weekend! He didn’t score any goals this time, but his defensive skills were impressive! Here’s a bit more about his game…
Week of outfits: Bringing in fall edition
I’m on a personal mission to bring in fall temperatures. Right now it’s not working out so well, but maybe if I keep trying it’ll happen! I’m also encouraging others to jump in on my venture, ha! So here is a breakdown of my outfits this week:
Monday: shirt, skirt-old (similar), shoes
Tuesday: shirt-old (similar), pants, shoes-old (similar)
Wednesday: sweater, skirt-old (similar), boots-old (similar)
Two mile hike
In the past we have hiked part of this loop, but several weeks ago we decided the boys were old enough to complete the whole two miles. Here is a little bit of our adventures on the hike!

Soccer season 2
J LOVES soccer. He pumps his fist in the air with a resounding “yes!!” when we tell him it’s a game day and we have no problem getting him ready and out the door to go to his practices and games. It’s amazing to see how just in a season he has improved! Here is some more from one of his first games…
Week of outfits and my favorite after work wear…
{Tuesday: Cardigan: Gap, Top: The Pants Store, Pants: Express, Shoes: Nordstrom} {Wednesday: Dress: Piperlime (so super old), Shoes: Cole Haan} {Thursday: Top: JCrew, Pants: Anthropologie, Shoes: DSW}
It was a short work week! Thankfully, as I’m starting to run out of warm weather work pieces. It needs to be cooler temperatures, stat! So on to my favorite after work wear…
Fall Decor
Maybe if we discuss Fall it will come? Kind of like the whole Field of Dreams philosophy. I would have posted this last week, but Target didn’t have all of their Fall decorations out (I KNOW! It’s the first week of September? Hobby Lobby is already past Christmas and on to Valentine’s Day. Just kidding. Sort of.) and I was waiting on the two pumpkins you see above. So besides those, here are my fall decorations…
This and that
I kept finding our fall window clings re-arranged and on Friday I figured out who was responsible. J said he is creating “fall art”. They are very Picasso/Dali-esque. Here are a few more fun things from our weekend!
