Happy Friday friends! Cannot believe we are already closing out September! We are sending September out with a bang, with an action packed and fun filled weekend!
As usual, I am linking up with Andrea & Erika for a little Friday Favorites. A peek into a few of my favorite things from the week.
one
Today is one of my very favorite days! 17 years ago I became a Mom for the first time. My beautiful Ella was born today! It has been an absolute joy being her Mom & watching her grow into my best friend. The brightest smile with the kindest heart, she radiates joy.
Such an exciting year for her as she closes out this high school chapter and makes plans for what comes next.

Sharing a few of my favorite recent purchases. This cardigan is so good and currently on sale! It's a great length and soft cotton. I thought it was cute with a little front tuck. It comes in several colors, but I am always a sucker for cream. But I just saw a cream with black stripe and that one might be needed too!
My friend Missy at House of Color Southtowns shared these shoes and I knew I needed them! I love the block heel & the price. Give her a follow over on Insta- she shares some great finds!
My kids love taking hot lunch to school. Usually chicken & pasta or meatballs & pasta. These thermoses are a great size and I just ordered two more. I fill them with really hot or boiling water and let that set for 10 mins. I have found that helps keep things even warmer longer.
Last week I shared this arrangement and am loving it in our dining room. The smaller glass pumpkin I also picked up a Target, and their pumpkins & small candles are currently BOGO 50% off!!
We have some blue accents in our dining room and smoky gray blue walls, so I wanted to keep the blue napkins for fall and added these gold weathered napkin rings. They are less than $20 for a set of 12 and there’s an assortment of leaves and pumpkins. It’s a perfect touch of Fall.
Here is a closer peak at some of the designs.
Resharing a few of these Target finds, because they are all 20% off this weekend! I have been seeing green everywhere for this Fall and I loved this sweatshirt when I saw it in store. It looks and feels like a much more expensive brand, but for $25 I think it’s a great way to make a trendy statement this season. It just got delivered to me this week!
This sweater cardigan is so soft, and would be great for work or more casual with jeans. It comes in several colors, but I loved this light blue shade.
I admit, I’m a sucker for a good stripe. This black-and-white one is a nice little statement sweater. With black jeans, I think it would be a great casual look.

These are a few of our recent favorites from the dinner table.
These Korean Beef Bowls have been another favorite of ours. They come together pretty quickly and are full of some unexpected flavors! You can grab the recipe here.
Do you notice all our meals are built in a bowl?? I love these for serving dinner.

Sometimes it's just the little things in life, that make you smile. Like when a barista puts a little heart sticker on your coffee........

My favorite football team played Monday night. And while I always love when there’s a big lead at halftime, I love it even more when it’s a night game and I can put myself to bed at halftime!!!

This is homecoming weekend, and Ella has the flag football game tonight. The junior girls play against the senior girls. It’s a Batman and Robin theme so I have been busy crafting a shirt!!

Two weekends in a row in September, we’ve been able to get back out on the boat. I know these days are limited, so they are favorite days for sure!
eight
Last weekend, I hosted the cross-country team for a pasta dinner before the race. 6 pounds of pasta, 300 chicken nuggets and 42 slices of garlic bread later they were all fed!!!
And then we got to watch our girl do her thing the next morning.
Her biggest fan, as always!
I took the day off from work today. We are celebrating Ella’s birthday this weekend, and we have all the homecoming festivities, plus a pretty big race for her out of town. It’s going to be a whirlwind, but loving every minute of it!
Wishing you all the best weekend friends!
See you back here on Monday. There is always room for one more at our family table.
