Weekly Recap: It’s FALL!

In case you missed the memo, it’s fall, y’all! The first day of fall here in Houston was a cool 99 degrees. That didn’t stop us from putting on long sleeve pajamas though and prancing around to the beat of the fall drum. Oh no. We’re all about the new season. (Fun fact about fall: did you know you aren’t supposed to capitalize seasons like they’re proper nouns? You can capitalize them if you want to though. No one’s going to stop you from being wrong. Sorry, people. I couldn’t not say anything any longer. The English teacher in me couldn’t take it.) Now, moving on to Friday business. I’m doing something a little different than my usual Currently Confessing post. I’m feeling fancy. We’ll call this: my weekly recap. Clearly, I have jokes today.

ONE.
This week I worked really hard on this blog post. Did you see it? It’s aca-awesome. Anyway, thanks to that post, I had the honor of strolling through Hobby Lobby while Charlotte was in Mother’s Day Out, and I almost fainted from all the magnificent things on the shelves. I saw signs of Christmas! But the sign that really stole my eye was this one. Pumpkin season, yes. Pumpkin spice season? I’m kind of over it. Is that blasphemy? I just want a pumpkin pie or pumpkin roll on Thanksgiving, and we’ll call it good. No more pumpkin spice lattes. Bleh.

TWO.

This week I also watched the first episode of the last season of Downton. It was as good as I hoped it would be. I didn’t expect anything less, really. If you missed the memo on how to watch Downton now, you can find my post with all the details HERE. And if you’re not watching it with me, “Does it ever get cold on the moral high ground?” That was a quote from this past Sunday’s episode, and of course the Dowager Countess of Grantham said that. Fitting, isn’t it?

THREE.

Yesterday was Charlotte’s first picture day at “school.” This dress from Sugar Bit was the perfect ensemble for such occasion. Charlotte felt like Belle and made sure to tote around the doll, too. It was precious. We’ll see if this “ICE CREAM” face made it into the picture. Speaking of Sugar Bit…

For the past year, we’ve been brand reps for Sugar Bit, and we absolutely have loved the experience! Natasha, the shop owner, is a true gem of a mama and business woman, and it really has been a joy working with her. We’ve loved the special discounts and royalty treatment. I love the quality of the products and the amazing customer service she heralds from her online boutique. It’s top notch for sure, and I would share the outfits on my social media and blog even if we weren’t brand reps. It’s just a perk that we are. If you think your little one would make a good brand rep for Sugar Bit, you can apply to be one here. The brand rep search ends at the end of the month.

FOUR.

Last night, I had an awesome girls night out dinner with some of my Instagram/blogging friends turned real life friends. We had so much fun we didn’t even take a picture together. Or maybe we were too distracted by the queso and margaritas. That must be it. 
When I was leaving, I couldn’t help but think about how thankful I am for all the beautiful people I’ve met through this small world of social media. A couple of years ago, I felt so lonely after becoming a stay at home mom. But because of blogging, I’ve gained some of the best of friends. My cup runneth over.
FIVE.
On Monday, I had one of my most raw blog posts I’ve ever written published on Houston Moms Blog. It’s about the waves of grief and what the grieving process has meant for me. You can read it HERE. And that’s all I have to say about that. 
And that’s a wrap! Those are a just a few of my week’s highlights, but you can bet your bottom dollar that I’ll be back next week with more.

Happy first weekend of fall! Enjoy it to the fullest! Xoxo

  2. It looks like your having such a great month! I love when blogging friends become real like friends and, I mean, who doesn’t looooove Hobby Lobby!? I drive a full hour to get to mine, but it’s totally worth it!!

  3. That photo of Charlotte is adorable. Love the dress! I wish we had more little shops like that around here. The closest one to us is like 25 miles away. And yes, it’s pumpkin season. I like me a little pumpkin spice, but it doesn’t replace it being pumpkin and falling leaf season.
    Have a great weekend girl!

  9. What an awesome weekly wrap up!

    I just loved your Downton Abbey post. It has revolutionized our show watching! We are into Game of Thrones and Modern Family right now but we’ll be moving to Sons of Anarchy and Downton Abbey very shortly!

    Your Charlotte is a doll… best brand rep ever ;)
    xoxo
