I’m not huge into Halloween decor, but my kids really love it, so I like to find small ways to incorporate some spook during October. Two of the easiest things to get into the Halloween spirit: stick on bats and faux spider webs. You can use them anywhere – indoors or out!

Halloween Bats

This week we made big progress on the bathroom we’re doing for the One Room Challenge, and now we’re onto tile – one of my favorite things! If you missed it, you can read all about what we worked on this week + what’s next from this week’s ORC blog post linked below.

My closet is in need of a refresh – after a few years of having babies and not buying much, it’s time to update a few staples. I had my eye on this puffer last year but didn’t buy it because of being 9 months pregnant, so I was really excited to see they still carried it this year. The color is so pretty, the faux leather is super soft and the cropped cut hits at your waist for a really flattering look. Highly recommend.

Vegan Leather Mini Puffer

Speaking of updating a few closet staples, I am in need of an everyday bag that I can wear while I run errands or go on walks with the kids. I am really into the sling bag look and am also loving the woven leather details we’re seeing pop up in fashion – combining the two is a combo I’m especially into. I also linked a few other woven handbags that caught my eye!


Thanks for being here, friends!

Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a Come with me as I work on giving Cohen’s room a little refresh! He was in need of a nice, flat weave rug (because Legos) and I was really excited to get this Henley rug by @loloirugs x @joannagaines @magnolia from their latest collab. I have these rugs all over my house because I seriously love them and they wear so well! More to come on this little room of his.

Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain Uncover the back patio with me! After days of rain it’s time to let the furniture breathe a bit and open everything up to the sun. With part of our patio being pea gravel, the easiest way to get loose stones back where they belong is with our leaf blower - we recently topped it off with more gravel so it’s looking extra plush lately. You will find me here tonight pretending that it’s already the weekend 🥂

I rearranged the back patio a bit and I’m loving how it feels. Just a little reminder that it doesn’t take big bucks or an overhaul for something to feel fresh again!
