{one} j.crew endless shirt.

{endless shirt}

I am so excited to see that longer & looser tops, & skinny bottoms are still in for the fall & winter season. this is one of my favorite silhouettes! I have had my eye on this j.crew shirt for some time now. it is actually sitting in my cart waiting for a good sale {or at least free shipping!}.

{two} a happy baby elephant.

even if this is a photoshopped picture, it still makes me happy!

{three} I will survive.

{via}

ever the black thumb that I have I am fairly certain that I need these pots for my plants!

{one} kate spade for babyGap.

{via}

kate spade is sort of my jam & babyGap is sort of Eloise’s, so this collaboration was a perfect match for us. even though the collection wasn’t geared towards infants, I did manage to find a few things Eloise can’t live without! if you are curious, it is this hat & tights (no longer available)!

{two} lasagna soup.

{via}

dinners have continued to be a challenge for us, but we are starting to get back in the groove of meal planning & grocery shopping once a week. thanks to kendra, I started perusing the site Damn Delicious & have found some super tasty recipes. we just made this lasagna soup & loved it! I think it will be on heavy rotation this fall & winter!

{three} diy herringbone pumpkins.

{via}

we have yet to get pumpkins or put up any halloween decorations {as of the writing of this post… maybe before trick-or-treaters show up!} but if I would have, I think I would have wanted to try this DIY with little pumpkins. what a fun way to decorate without the mess of carving. plus, the pumpkins last well past halloween!

{one} friends on netflix.

fellow friends fans – we will be able to watch all 10 seasons on netflix starting january 1st!

{two} old navy vintage tee.

these old navy vintage tees have been a long-time favorite of mine, but even more so now when my usual daily uniform is jeans, a tee, & a sweater or button-up shirt. these are the softest tee shirts & right now they are $5!

{three} hunter rain boots.

rain boots are pretty much a must-have when you live in the pacific northwest. last year my j.crew wellies sprung a leak – major bummer – so I have been on the hunt for a new pair. I am loving these high gloss hunters!

{one} made by layla peg dolls.

{maddie all in a row set}

aaron & I both really love wooden toys for kids & hope to limit the amount of plastic toys our kiddos have {I know all of you parents out there think we are crazy, & we probably are!}. when I saw these peg dolls show up in my instagram feed the other day, I was dying. how cute are these?

{two} little guy in a minion costume.

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIgpNJIXh-8&w=448&h=252&hd=1]

one of my favorite animated movies is despicable me & I adore those minions. {doesn’t everyone?} this video of a little guy dressed up as a minion is hilarious!

{three} baby hats.

as the weather is starting to turn colder, I am on the search for cold weather accessories for eloise. I am dying to get her this pom-pom beanie!

{one} anthropolgie for fall.

{lauren moffatt poppy field dress}

eloise & I browsed anthro the other day & boy, anthro is killing it! usually I could only see myself in a handful of pieces {a little too bohemian for me} but I found myself wanting so many pieces. this lauren moffatt dress is at the top of my wishlist & I am saving my pennies!

{two} mini boden jacket.

as the weather is beginning to turn colder here in the pnw, I have been thinking about what kind of jacket to get eloise that would work for the fall & into the winter (with more layers). this jacket is absolutely adorable!

{three} happy halloween banner.

I am loving the halloween décor at paper source lately. maybe I will get around to decorating our house for the holiday before the 31st…

{one} gilmore girls on netflix.

any other gilmore girls fans out there? I am slightly obsessed. my mom’s ringtone is the theme song from this show… any-hoo. I am stoked that the entire series is now available on netflix! seriously. now I just need to find some free time to watch it…

{two} eloise in aaron’s baby clothes.

aaron’s sister cari had saved some of aaron’s old baby clothes & gave them to us around the time that eloise was born. it has been so fun to see her dressed up in his old clothes!

{three} oh joy for target.

I believe this is the third installation of oh joy for target but I just can’t get enough! this makes me want to throw a party!

{one} happy birthday sadie!

I want to wish our girl sadie the very happiest of birthdays today! happy tenth birthday! you are the most amazing dog we have ever known & bring us so much joy every day. while you are no longer the complete center of attention – ahem, eloise – we love you dearly & are in awe of how much you do love your little sister eloise!

{two} naps.

{via etsy}

for you other mamas out there, you know that the old adage “sleep when the baby sleeps” is nearly an impossible feat! however, this t-shirt message is also true. there is no time in my life that I have wanted to nap more!

{three} this is where I leave you.

I don’t feel like I will be seeing a movie in the theaters again ~~ever~~ for a while, but this movie looks fantastic! thank goodness for netflix.

{one} fall clothes.

{overalls: babyGap (similar) // onesie: crewcuts // moccasins: freshly picked}

specifically I mean eloise in overalls & moccasins! we had a bit of cool fall weather late this week which meant I jumped at the chance to bundle e up! I am so glad I got to get her into these overalls before she outgrew them!

{two} julep fifi polish.

while it seems like it may be years before I ever have another manicure, I am loving this creamy pink polish from julep!

{three} advice.

{via pinterest}

this advice may be relevant for a lot of aspects in life, it is so appropriate for a first-time mama! it is easy to get overwhelmed by all of the opinions, viewpoints, must-dos, & shoulds when you are a new parent!

friday I’m in love.

welcome back friday! after a summer hiatus, kendra & I are back at it sharing what we love on fridays! be sure to pop over to kendra’s blog too to see what she’s up to {& amanda periodically joins us as well}. we would love for you to join us! leave a comment and we’ll come check out what you’re loving each week!

{one} unplugging.

{via}

though my phone is stuck to my side in order to track feedings, diapers, etc. with eloise {we are using Baby Connect}, I have been making an effort to unplug when I have some downtime, especially while nursing. it is so easy to get lost in social media news feeds & random other things on my phone instead of being present in what is going on in my real life – like eloise!

{two} diy baby leggings.

{via}

I still can’t get over some of e’s baby clothes – hello so teeny! I am hoping once I get into the swing of things with e {shorter feeding times & longer naps!}, I can diy a few pairs of leggings for her.

{three} fall & halloween.

{via}

I love summer as much as the next person {probably more!} but as the weather is starting to turn in the PNW, I find that I am getting really excited for the fall. fall clothes, crisp air, & halloween! I am loving non-traditional pumpkins like these chalkboard ones above. now I just have to figure out what to dress up e as for her first halloween… such big decisions!

friday I’m in love.

{one} lucy darling clothing divider sets.

even though eloise doesn’t have any rods or shelves in her nursery closet {it’s on the to-do list!} I am loving these clothes dividers from the lucy darling shop. I may have to snag this set!

{two} college football season.

one good thing about the end of summer is that college football season is officially upon us! while I am definitely a seahawks fan, I much prefer watching a college game to the nfl. I have a good feeling about both my uw huskies & bsu broncos! even if we don’t attend any games, we will definitely be cheering on our teams & indoctrinating eloise!

{three} fall fashion: jumpsuits.

{anthro everett jumpsuit}

while I do consider myself a pretty early adopter when it comes to fashion, jumpsuits were one trend that I really wasn’t sure of at first. maybe it is because I am so short, or perhaps because they are so impractical, but I never saw myself sporting the jumpsuit trend until very recently. I picked up a simple black one from old navy earlier this summer with hopes I could wear it this fall – perfect for a date night! – but also have been loving this one from anthro. so sophisticated & chic!
