3. Si-Ci watched mama cook

4. Most of my pictures are of Sienna {sorry I'm not sorry!} and this was taken right after she ROLLED OVER

5. She was so proud of herself. Cutest little thing!

Heck Yeah It's Friday!

1. All the heart eyes for my new planner! Just 8 bucks from Amazon and it's perfect!!

2. Yesterday we converted Sienna's stroller. For a while we were just clicking in her car seat because she was so small but now she is just barely big enough to ride in the regular stroller! She is in the leaned back position... it also goes all the way down in the sleeping position as well as all the way up in the sitting position.

3. Local weekend happenings: Baltimore Taco Festival @ Power Plant Live, Harry Potter Brunch @ Black Eyed Suzies, Baltimore Craft Beer Festival @ Canton Waterfront, Darlington Apple Festival @ Main Street, Fells Point Fun Festival @ Fells Point, Local Love @ White Marsh Mall

4. Matilda Jane has a pretty awesome promo going on this month. Host a show {either in person or virtual} and get a sleeping bag for FREE. Or spend $175 and get a sleeping bag {$118 value by the way} for just $30! If you're interested in this deal, you can shop my site here. If you want to host a show, please email me.

5. Girl mama's: you NEED to buy this hair bow set. For under $5 and free shipping, you'll get enough colors to match just about ANY outfit! Sienna doesn't have any hair yet so I clip them on to an elastic hair band.

Happy Friday! Whew what a week! I'm having some technical trouble with the video I posted yesterday {insert embarrassed emoji}. Let's see if I can get it working today. In the meantime, like every other Friday I am linking up with Smidge of This and a few other blogs to share our favorites from the week.

1. I am SO EXCITED to share with you all that I am a new boutique owner/trunk keeper with Matilda Jane Clothing! I actually shared the news via Facebook live Wednesday night {connect with me on Facebook if you would like to keep updated with my weekly live videos}. I just LOVE this brand and HAD to be a part of it. Have you ever heard of Matilda Jane? If not, that's ok! I answer a lot of questions about MJ here so please check it out!



2. I finally got my butt back in the gym and it felt SO GOOD! You can't beat the feeling of accomplishment you get after going to the gym

3. Today is the first day of Fall! Today is the first day of Fall! Definitely a favorite this week.







4. Local weekend happenings: Johnny Appleseed Festival @ Weber's Cider Mill Farm, St. Joseph's Fall Family Festival @ Angel Park, Fall Harvest & Craft Festival @ Steppingstone Museum, Ravens vs. Jaguars @ M&T Bank Stadium

5. Ok I've posted about Lipsense twice this week so now makes three times. Are you annoyed yet? Definitely don't want to sound like a broken record of here but I am enjoying Lipsense. Which color should I go with next? I have my eye on Kiss For a Cause but that is definitely BAM! A sweet reader suggested Bombshell. I would love to hear some more suggestions because let's face it, I'll probably grab another 2 or 3 colors!

Today I'm linking up with Smidge of This and a few other blogs to share our favorites from the week.

1. On Sunday one of my very best girl friends was visiting from California. Now that she lives on the other side of the country, I only get to see her once or twice a year. This girl is more like a sister to me! And it was the first time Sienna got to meet her Aunt Meg!

2. Chip and Joanna Gaines announced their new home and lifestyle brand, Hearth and Hand, that will be launching at Target this November! I can't wait!!!

3. Speaking of Target, I snagged this gorgeous plate for $5 on Tuesday

and the pumpkin is a dollar store find!!

4. Local weekend happenings: Dogfest @ Bmore Humane, Perry Hall Apple Festival @ Chapel Hills Farm & Nursery, Parktoberfest @ Mount Vernon Marketplace, Bel Air Festival of The Arts @ Shamrock Park, and Ravens vs. Browns @ M&T Bank Stadium.

5. And lastly, my baby girl experienced the spoon for the first time this week! It was mostly milk with just a little bit of rice cereal. We will slowly make it thicker and thicker and then we will start the pureed fruits and veggies. Time. slow. down.

1. My sweet little 13 pound 4 month old is TOUGH AS NAILS! Without going into detail, she had her second trip to the ER on Wednesday {this time with digestive issues}. Turns out it wasn't as serious as I feared. Thank GOD. I sat in that ER praying and praying and He answered!!!

2. You might have caught my snapchat story Wednesday night... I was exhausted after that scare! I use these pure gold eye treatment masks to help hide the dark circles under my eyes. They are definitely a favorite of mine.

3. Local weekend happenings: Dwight Yoakam @ The Modell Lyric, Arts Festival @ Little Italy, Taking Back Sunday @ Powerplant Live, Hampdenfest @ 36th Street, So-Buf Fall Festival @ Odonnell Square

4. Pool days... forever a favorite that I will miss until next year

Friday Randoms

1. Do you follow me on Instagram? Teresa Giudice shared one of my photos and I just about passed out from being starstruck! That was definitely the highlight of my week. {Ps. I'll let you guys know what I think about her book when I finish it!}

2. I need help!! I have long thick hair and it's just plain annoying to wash it all the time. I've never tried dry shampoo before... I repeat, I have NEVER tried dry shampoo before. I know what you're thinking "she must live under a rock". I promise you I don't. But I DO need some recommendations. Go with the drybar Dry Shampoo? Or the highly rated {and cheaper} amika Perk Up Dry Shampoo?

3. Speaking of hair products, I've been really wanting try drybar's Sea Salt Spray. And so yesterday I finally bit the bullet and added it to my Amazon shopping cart. It's a little pricey but I've heard it's amazing at creating those beach waves/curls. I can't wait to use it in Aruba!

4. A local noteworthy: Last week Jon and I had a quick dinner at Red Brick Station {in The Avenue at White Marsh}. We've been before but usually just for happy hour so we would get some bar snacks and a few beers. This time I tried the Greek chicken salad and got it made as a pasta salad {which is noted as an option, in small print on the menu}. Y'all I loved it! And it was huge! I had more than enough for lunch the next day. I highly recommend! 

5. Favorite pin of the week: has to be this! "call me old fashioned"

I'm kind of obsessed with bar carts and have an entire board dedicated to them!

The Bouqs is a cut to order and eco friendly flower delivery service starting at just $40... and unlike most florists, they do not charge a delivery fee!!! If ordering flowers for loved ones this holiday, I highly recommend trying The Bouqs.
