This week has been the slowest and most productive week ever...how is that even possible! Haha

The boys have had fevers the past few days and all of us have colds except for my husband- Hopefully it stays that way! Because of being cooped up inside I've gotten so much cleaning and organizing done! I'm wanting to get rid of some toys before Christmas and B's birthday but I can't decide which ones should go. It seems like all of them are played with at one time or another. Any suggestions??

Daylight savings has also messed with our sleep schedules because Baby E thinks he needs to be up at 5:00am every day since! We're struggling!

Hopefully your week is going better than ours!:)

TRENDING: Chunky Knit Blankets

Being comfortable while at home is very important to me. That includes having lots of blankets easily accessible and comfy pants on 80% of the time! We always have at least two blankets in the living room being used multiple times a day.

I have been on the lookout for a chunky knit blanket and I've found one that I love! It's made of Merino Wool which isn't itchy like normal wool! It's also antibacterial, odor resistant, and regulates body temperature!

Megan (the owner of JOMO Blankets) does beautiful work hand knitting these blankets. She has 25 different colors to choose from! She’s having a sale on Black Friday (November 24th) and giving you $24 off your order, so mark it on your calendars so you don't miss it!

Be sure to follow JOMO Blankets on Instagram (@jomoblankets) and email her at jomoblankets@gmail.com for sizing, colors, and prices!

Have a happy Monday!

Fall Momiform + Real Life

Last week Baby E turned one and we had family in town! It was a busy and fun week!

Life is crazy and it just keeps on going! I'm realizing that you can keep on waiting for it to slow down or get on board and enjoy the crazy ride! Even though we don't see my husband for more than a few hours every week, I'm loving the stages my boys are in and all that we get to do and see in Boston!

I have been wanting to mention to you that while I love taking these outfit pictures, please realize that I hardly ever look this put together in real life, especially on days we aren't leaving the house! You probably wouldn't have recognized me if you saw me drop my sister-in-law off at the airport the other morning! Haha!

I hope your Halloween is great and I’ll be back on Wednesday to share the boy’s Halloween costumes!

Now that Baby E is getting weaned from nursing I can finally wear all of my dresses again! I got this one right after I had him and I'm so excited to wear it all fall and winter! Just add tights for those colder days and you're good to go!

I have gotten to the point in momhood where I don't always need or want to carry a diaper bag. Whether it's date night or a short walk a huge diaper bag isn't always necessary.

This is when this black cross body bag comes into the picture! It will be so great to take on dates and I love the gold monogram and tassel!

The Southern Spool has so many amazing bag options. She monograms small bags to large overnight bags. She also embroiders shirts and stockings. These stockings are so cute!

Go check out The Southern Spool on Instagram (@thesouthernspool) and on Etsy!

I have family coming into town tomorrow for the week so I'll be taking a break but see what we're up to over on Instagram!

Hard is Good!

Shoes- Old (Similar)

Bag- Old

I recently listened to this talk and the main thing I got out of it is doing hard things is GOOD!

Of course nobody likes having to do things that are hard and uncomfortable, but for some reason lately I've been realizing that by doing and going through these challenging experiences I've grow so much more and become the wife/mother/woman I want to be! Without these experiences I may not be that same person, I'm not saying that I'm perfect, far from it in fact, I'm just saying that I'm better and more capable than I was before. 

 It has been amazing to reflect back over the last year or so and see how far I've come in my personal growth by doing some hard things.

We all have our own levels of hard and it’s never good to compare your trials. So don’t even try to wonder why someone’s trial seems easier than yours!

One of my favorite parts of the talk is this:
"In the world of nature, hard is part of the circle of life. It is hard for a baby chick to hatch out of that tough eggshell. But when someone tries to make it easier, the chick does not develop the strength necessary to live. In a similar way, the struggle of a butterfly to escape the cocoon stregthens it for the life it will live. Through these examples, we see that hard is the constant! We all have challenges. The variable is our reaction to the hard."

In my recent growth what has made the biggest difference to me is trying to react more positively to the hard situations! 

I have to end with this amazing quote by Thomas S. Monson:
“May we ever choose the harder right instead of the easier wrong.”

Love you guys!

Pumpkin Patch + Links I Love {27}

This fall has been the first time in four years that we've felt the crisp mornings and warm afternoons. It's been so great! In Virginia we still had our AC going all the time this time of year. We are definitely meant to live somewhere with cooler weather. (I might regret saying that in a couple months!)

This week we headed to a farm for B's first hayride and pumpkin patch experience! It was an hour drive and I thought I would have some quiet time, but B was so excited he didn't stop talking the entire way! Haha I love that kid!:)

ONE // I haven't crafted in so long. I can't even remember the last thing I made. That's all going to change in a couple weeks when I make this with my sister-in-laws! I.can't.wait!!

TWO // I know I keep talking about Primark and I wish they had a website with everything they have in their stores. I went on Saturday and found the best gray sweater! Here's a similar option for those of you looking for one! 

THREE // I've never had issues with any of my Shein purchases until recently. I bought this romper to wear over my swimsuit. I got it in the mail and it was tiny! I couldn't even get it past my knees! haha

FOUR // Don't forget to enter the $75 PinkBlush giveaway!

Happy Friday!!

Fall Florals + a Giveaway!

Dress c/o PinkBlush

You guys! How can a year go by so fast! Baby E will be turning one in a couple weeks and I'm in denial that he's that old! On the other hand I'm hoping he continues to outgrow his crying. Haha

Church has been quite the adventure with this little guy. On Sunday I set him down and no more than ten seconds later he was gone! Everyone around us were searching for him and he had crawled under the pews to the very back of the chapel! He's trouble I'm telling you!

I'm always considering comfort when I'm picking out what to wear to church because I know I won't be sitting the whole time with this boy! PinkBlush has so many amazing options of dresses that are comfortable and pretty.  They are my favorite for Sundays that my husband is on call and I'm getting the boys ready myself.

Head on over to my Instagram to enter to win a $75 gift card to Pink Blush!

Happy hump day!

I Never Met a Pumpkin...

We love pumpkins at our house! B has always looked forward to the time that they are at the grocery store.

Letter boards are so popular right now and with the holidays coming up I have found an affordable and great gift option for you!

HelloLetterBoards are so sturdy and come with so many letters! Did I mention they are also at a really good price! I can already think of a couple people who would love one for Christmas.:)

Hello hello!

I've been wanting to share this outfit with you all for a while and I'm finally getting around to it! The top is from Shein.com and I love that place for inexpensive and cute clothes!

I'm keeping this really short and sweet today because Baby E had a pretty high fever yesterday and with his normal clingyness I haven't gotten much done.

Have a great day!
