Kicking off another weekend with a list of things I'm loving this week...

1.  I am seriously obsessed with buffalo plaid this year.

2.  Run... don't walk, to Target right now, and buy this yogurt.  It tastes like pie.

3.  My most favorite sneakers in the whole wide world are on sale right now.  I bought these awhile back, in this color, and I couldn't love them more if I tried.

4.  Ella seems to be teething right now, so we're loving this teether that's keeping her from gnawing her fingers off.

5.  While I love the pricey Dior version of these amazing pearl earrings, the Target version is just fine by me for the price.

6.  Do you remember the adorable Goody barrettes we used to wear back in the day?  One of my favorite artists has created this super cute print, and I think I have to have it for Ella's room.

7.  These donuts are on my must-make list for this weekend!

8.  I'm still working on our Halloween book collection, this latest addition arrived the other day.

9.  I am intrigued by this new free service from Shutterfly.  We're big Shutterfly fans around here!

10.  I love these baby marled sweats, I want them for M, E, and myself!

Have a lovely weekend!

Fall Mini Style

It's no secret that both of my kids dress better than I do most days, but the styles that are out there right now for babies and kids are so trendy and cute, that I kind of wish I could wear them myself.

This fall I am loving cozy flannels, puffer vests, elbow patches, color blocking, camo, and color trends like mustard, navy, olive, and coral.

Here are some of my favorite fall 2014 items for M & E...

This week's Swoon Worthy post comes to you as I'm trying to cope with my mixed feelings... A combination of my longing to hold on to summer while also literally jumping for joy to welcome fall. I just love fall.  

Anyhow, most of these things are super fall themed, while others scream, "I will miss you suimmer!"... and some really have nothing to do with seasons at all.  These lists are always a little random.  Here's what I'm loving this week...

1.  I cannot find pumpkin flavored coffee creamer anywhere yet... and it's killing me.  I may have to attempt this DIY version.

2.  Our first stop on our family vacation was in Boston to spend a couple of nights with my cousin and her husband.  She made the most amazing Greek orzo salad while we were there... I couldn't stop thinking about it. When we returned home, I immediately visited her blog to get the recipe. It's the perfect BBQ side dish.

3.  I've been crocheting quite a bit lately, but knitting will always be my first love.  I am longing to make this wrap from Purl Bee.

4.  I recently discovered Quinn Popcorn, more specifically, the Vermont Maple & Sea Salt flavor. OH. MY. GOD... that stuff is good.

5.  I like sangria.  I like fall. I'm pretty sure I will like this fall themed sangria.

6.  Are these back to school themed cookies that kiddos can color themselves with edible ink not the cutest?

7.  I'm kind of obsessed with Foodie Babies.  I love making homemade baby food, and they have a ton of awesome recipes.

8.  I know its only September, but I'm already starting to think about Halloween.  I love these pj's for Ella.

9.  I kind of have a thing for elbow patches, so I kind of love this sweater for Max... it's on sale right now too!

10.  Being the good wife that I am, I pack a lunch for my husband almost every night... when I saw this super cute sandwich kit by Rubbermaid, I just had to order it!

Hope you all have a lovely, fall-like, weekend!

1.  On occasion, we like to eat Paleo... If you haven't visited Juli Bauer's PaleOMG blog, you must! She is hilarious, and her recipes are awesome. Her new cookbook, "the Paleo Kitchen", becomes available on June 10th, but can be preordered now on Amazon.

2.  These button on bow ties for little guys from Little Mr Ties, are just too cute!

3.  I am currently loving this BB Body Cream by Jergens. It gives your skin a subtle glow, while also improving its appearance.

4.  Since I've been "baby wearing" far more with Ella than I did with Max, I've been eyeing these wraps from Solly Baby. The colors they offer are beautiful, and from what I hear the material is super soft. I'm swooning over the orchid one.

5.  My cousin, who has amazing taste, sent this bathing suit as a gift for Ella... It is pretty much the most adorable thing I've ever seen.

6.  These prints from Pen and Paint, are amazing. I love the colors and designs. This lady is super talented!

7.  My husband likes to give me a hard time about my affinity for books in the "young adult" category, but a good read is a good read! I actually finished, "The Fault In Our Stars", by John Green quite awhile ago, but I loved it so much, that I read all of his books.  The movie version is coming out soon, so if you haven't already, I highly recommend reading it.

8.  It's no secret that I have been loving recipes from Averie Cooks lately, but I made these flourless double chocolate peanut butter blender muffins the other night, and they were delicious!  Best of all, they are gluten free and required no oil or sugar.

9.  I adore this tiny peach bow print dress from Little Hip Squeaks.  They have been releasing their summer collection, and it is fabulous!

10.  I'm kind of obsessed with this cookie dough flavored greek yogurt concoction lately.  It has become my go-to afternoon snack, and it's really, really yummy.

9.  I ordered these gold polka dots for baby girl's nursery awhile ago... I love the concept!

10. I know I posted about Freshly Picked moccs last week, but I am seriously swooning over their latest color.

Hope you enjoyed swooning over this weeks picks with me!
