Oh my goodness, it’s Friday. And I’m about as happy as a 9 and 3 year old jumping into a pile of leaves. Anyone else feel like it’s been a crazy (busy) long week? Yet the weekend is upon us, heck yeah! Here’s what is on my mind and going on around our home lately. I’d so love to hear what you’ve been up to!
The boys have been slurping up these smoothies lately – even the green machine ones, yippee!
Risk is an essential component of a balanced childhood. Exposure to healthy risk, particularly physical, enables children to experience fear, and learn the strengths and limitations of their own body. Yes, yes, and yes. It’s not a surprise I’d agree with the article, even though I’m often living on the edge of an ER visit between the two boys.
Double date night tonight with my fantastic sister-in-law and her husband, woohoo! Thinking of wearing these. Meow.
Met a darling new mom at the park the other day and she looked oh so chic and relaxed in these awesome booties. I had to ask where they were from and of course, now I can think about nothing else. Just what I need – another pair of boots.
Pot sticker soup. Get it going this weekend, if you can.
Halloween is almost here! Did you see my round up of fun ideas? The bat socks have been a serious hit with the kids.
Oh my gosh, I know, I know… I’m totally that insane person already thinking about the holidays, but I just love them so much! Been scoping out my Christmas card, here. Think I’ve found THE ONE, something that I may or may not obsess over for months.
Speaking of the holidays, these tags cracked me up.
Our favorite red lately. We served it at L’s 9th birthday and haven’t stopped buying it. Major bonus that it’s under $11!
Lots of fall fun to come this weekend, including a big game for the 6-2 Barrington Broncos. Come on boys! Next week the prep begins for cooking club, Halloween, and then… the photography shoot with Apartment Therapy for our home. Seriously excited. Seriously nervous.
What are you and your family up to this weekend? I’d love to hear all about it in a comment below!

This weekend my family and I are going out for sushi. I can’t wait for delicious food and fun times.
My kids love jumping in big leave piles. I actually think we are doing that this weekend.
Perfect plan! 🙂

Ah, jumping in the leaves! I loved that as a kid and the smell of Fall!
I connected with an old friend and did a lot of cleaning!

What an awesome week! Pot sticker soup sounds wonderful. Good luck to the Broncos!
I agree with you about risk but it is so hard for me. I know I should let them have space and freedom but I am riddled with anxiety when I do it. Most times, I swallow the anxiety because I know how important that freedom is but it does not come easily or naturally to me.

Thank you for your comment and well wishes to the Broncos!
Ah, I know it can be terrifying, right? I hear you on the anxiety.
Ooh that soup does sound good. Those boots are definitely going to look great in the fall!

We made a vow last year that because we have so many Christmas decorations, we are decorating starting November 1st. Cannot wait.
