A Few Fun Fall Favorites

Fall Favorites

Abby’s been talking about visiting the pumpkin patch since the end of July (I know…my jaw dropped too. Twice). It's certainly a fav around here! So I finnnnallllllyyyy caved and decorated the girl’s rooms for Halloween this past week by hanging a couple cardstock paper bats using this kid friendly print out and these white pumpkins.It delights them both every time they go in! 

So today I rounded up a few fun fall favorites that have been making our girly heart's burst lately like
Modern Birch’s “Hey Boo” wooden sign in Emma’s Nursery! It’s by far my favorite décor find this season and so I'm tickled pink to say they're running a special 20% off sale just for our community by using the promocode FALLBABY20 at check out until Sunday 9/22! And since welcoming Emma back in June, I've been obsessed with pink lately so getting all snuggled up in a cozy pink sweater like this one has been my guilty pleasure whenever temps dipped down to the 60's. 

Abby was obsessed with her kitty cat shoes last year, so I got her another pair to enjoy and Emma is allllll about her lovely lately from Witt’s End.I can see why because it’s beyond soft and the personalized E just warms my soul when I see her sleepy little face all snuggled up with it. 

The girls and I have been visiting our local craft stores about once a week since Abby started Preschool and with Halloween right around the corner... I finally grabbed this polka dot pillow to bring home! I swear it was calling my name (at least that's what I told Steve) : )  More on why we’ve done so many trips to the craft store coming soon…. So be sure to check instagram on Sunday for two very exciting things happening!!!

And happy "almost fall' weekending!! 


Warmly, Steph

DIY First Day of School Sign

 Picked out an old picture frame from home.

I took off the frame and painted the "backing" with this chalkboard paint. 
3 coats total (2 horizontal and 1 vertical)

 Then I used faux chalkboard lettering technique which can be found here.

30 minute project total in two nights to complete, one to paint and the other to do lettering. I LOVE how it turned out!!

Abby was so excited to start school! And now that we have the first full week complete, we both feel like we can move onto all the fall things. Which honestly Abby's been thinking and talking about since the beginning of August. (One thing at a time girl!) So next up is our local fair, apple picking, crock pot meals, crafting and Abby's favorite holiday right now... Halloween! Hmmmm I wonder why : ) #cakepopfridayincostume coming soon!!


Warmly, Steph
