Weekend Recap.

Big plans were set for this weekend but they were ruined by the weather! Well, more like us thinking the weather was going to ruin them so decided that was enough to not put them into action? Whatever it was, our weekend was still cool. Pun intended.

When I got home on Friday, I saw this little pumpkin Elliot made for Jack and I at daycare with his little footprint and loved it. I can't wait to buy some cool magnets to put this and all the other stuff daycare does for him/us he will be doing on the fridge. He's so crafty like mama! ;)

On Friday night my sister went over to our house to have a couple of drinks. Since she's not a big fan of the beer I drink (say what?) we decided to make these delicious drinks with champagne and popsicles. I saw these on a morning show one day and the looked soo good and also on one of my favorite blogger's IG and had been wanting to make them forever. These are really cool for a brunch or birthday party. Seeing that I didn't have anything else in my fridge other than my beer, champagne and OJ (which is no fun on a Friday night) I decided to make these for my sister and I. If you're looking for a light refreshing drink, this is it. Try it with your favorite popsicle flavor and you'll end up finishing a champagne bottle in no time. Not the case with us. Or maybe. We also had a dancing party in which only Jack and I participated and my sister thought we were being completely ridiculous. She's no fun.



After she left, Jack and I started decorating the door for Halloween. We are nowhere nearly done but we are getting there! Here's a preview. We made the bats by drawing them onto felt squares and cutting them out which was a pain in the ass but we took turns in drawing and cutting to have a nice variety and to rest our hands from all the cutting.

The letters I got at Hobby Lobby, they are wooden, unpainted letters and I just bought a little tube of paint, some small brushes and painted them black. I still want to add to the wreath but haven't found the right accessories. I did see some pretty cool fabric for a bow so I might just do that. We are also planning on adding a few more bats to the door and other windows in the same diagonal pattern. I also can't wait to buy a thousand few pumpkins for the front door.

I plan on adding this felt garland I bought on West Elm to our mantle and I will leave it there for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. I think it's neutral enough to work for all three. Thanks to Jessica Garvin for the heads up on it!

Saturday we had a whole day planned consisting of an early breakfast, corn maze and pumpkin patch fun. So we started with the early breakfast and noticed it was getting windy and cold (remember the cold front I mentioned?). Yeah it got pretty windy so we decided to skip all that fun. About an hour later after our decision, the weather got so beautiful it would've been the perfect day to pick pumpkins and take cool pictures of Button! Boo to us. It was already too late because we ended up at the AT&T store where Jack finally joined the iPhone family and he's so happy. Like a kid in a candy store ;) We still plan on hitting the pumpkin patch next weekend! 

Sunday was a laundry/cleaning and preparing for Monday kind of day. We also played a lot with this little one. I wish everyday could be like this!

Then we were done. Button was done too. We were in bed sleeping by nine! I think that might have been the best part of the entire weekend. Going to bed early is a very rare occurrence and we needed it.



Are you already decorating for Halloween? Hope everyone had a great weekend!

October Favorites.

If you're a working mama, have you ever stopped to realize how fast time goes by and how fast your kids are growing? As I was making dinner, I thought about the million and a half things I still needed to do while trying to spend as much time as I could with Elliot. It makes me feel so guilty. Like I should just drop everything I'm doing and be with him. Sucks!

This is on my Fall inspired love list.

I'm loving that it's feeling like Fall this week since we got a cold front and the high on Saturday and Sunday is like 72 degrees, can't get any better than that. Am I allowed to wear boots those two days? Because then we go back to the hot weather for a while. Ugh. I love cold weather.

PSL's. I just had my first one of the season and all I can say is I might go broke and make Starbucks even richer than it is.

All the ideas for Halloween costumes. I mean, who doesn't want to see a baby in a costume? Elliot will be a cute little bat. I already bought him everything and he looks the cutest with his little bat hat. Also the fact that we get to celebrate Halloween with a kid. It's always been with our nieces and nephews and it was about damn time we got to do it with our own baby. We will be eating all the candy.

Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Did you know that 80% of women who have/had it did not have it in their family? I always, always thought that it was hereditary for the most part and that yes, sometimes it comes out of the blue. Turns out, I was wrong! Scary. Sorry to sound like a PSA but it scares the shit out of me. So in its honor, I did my nails and will keep them like this for the entire month.

Decorating. Seriously, I love it. As I've mentioned before, having my own house where I can decorate however the hell I want is like eating Doritos with Tabasco everyday and not gaining an ounce of weight. I'll be posting once I'm done with the house!

Speaking of weight, Insanity. Yes, Insanity. I hate it but I love it. I hate starting it, but I'm so glad I did it when it's over. Jack and I have been doing it for a couple of weeks now and man am I feeling it. It's a good kind of feeling. I love how the workouts change and you get to do something different. I think that was one of the biggest problems with my lack of motivation. How can anyone get motivated to run the same shitty amount of time everyday on a treadmill? Or even outside? Oh, you mean those who are runners. Fine. I don't like it okay? Okay :) Glad that's settled. Anyway, I'm already seeing results and can't wait to shed all this weight I have left. Thanks Button. I'm also glad I'm doing it now because I can't wait to wear cute sweaters with leggings and boots, and I'll be ready for the summer to wear some cute clothes too!

Chocolate. For some reason, I'm really liking the taste of the dark, dark, darkest chocolate. It's a little indulgence that Jack and I have once in a while. Plus it's good for you. These Ghirardelli squares are amazing. I can't wait to be able to have the hot version in a cup.



This gorgeous pin tuck comforter from West Elm that I already told Jack I want. How perfect is this for the Winter?! I picture many movie nights and snuggles in bed with Button and Jack. I love it in this exact color too.

The one dollar section at Target. Every.single.time we go to Target I have to stop by this section to see what goodies they have. I usually walk out with something and Jack looks at me like really? What? Most of the stuff is a dollar! I found these really cool beverage holders and had to grab all selections. Perfect to drink any pumpkin flavored beer for Halloween.



And last but not least, the fact that Columbus Day is coming up and I get a whole Monday off to spend with Elliot! So looking forward to that.

My little Button last night. Such a good little sleeper!



Yay for Thursday!
