Five on {Friday Favorites}

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.

Fall Bucket List

Y'all, Fall is my favorite season. The weather gets cooler, leaves change colors, and the smell in the air is different... I love it all! It might also have to do with the fact that my birthday is in October... maybe. So here's my bucket list this season! Go ahead and pin it because let's face it, everything on this list is SO FUN to do and will definitely make this season THE BEST.

Here's what else I have on my Fall board. Do you follow me on Pinterest?

Show and Tell Tuesday What's in Your Bag

Today I'm linking up with Momfessionals for Show and Tell Tuesday where today we are sharing what's in our bags. These day's I carry a diaper bag on the regular and very rarely do I get to leave the house with just my purse. So for that reason I'm going to share what's in my diaper bag! I like to keep it simple and most of my personal things {like earbuds and mascara} are kept in my gym bag. Also, before I leave the house I always grab an extra change of clothes for the baby! Ok, so here's what's in my diaper bag...

Hoodie

Hand sanitizer

Softest lovie

Keys, wallet {thirty-one}, and perfume roller with lip gloss {anthropologie} for me. Bib {my absolute favorite are by aden + anais}, monkey teether, diapers, cream, wipes, formula, bottle, lovie, pacifier wipes, and car seat cover for the baby. The funny thing is she doesn't take a pacifier anymore! I originally bought the pacifier wipes when she was about a month old and we were at the pool and her pacifier dropped on the ground. It took me a while to get to the bathroom to wash it and I didn't want to use a wipe {that we would use on her hiney} to clean what was going into her mouth so I thought to myself there just has to be a better way... and thus, I went on to amazon later that day and snagged them! Maybe one day she will take the pacifier again. Until then I just use them to wash her hands since she is a thumb sucker. What's in/was in your diaper bag? Am I missing anything important mama's?

Sienna Raquel 4 Months Old

4 month development: she can now soothe herself to sleep and she sleeps in her crib all night {hallelujah}!

And since I wasn't blogging for her first 3 months, here is a recap:

3 month development: sucks her thumb and started in her jumper

2 month development: holds her head up very well

1 month development: knows mama and daddy

Five on {Friday Favorites}

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

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

5. Halloween t's from The Pink Lily Boutique! I can't even decide which one I would choose.

Family Photoshoot on The Beach

On Thursday August 31st Jon and I celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary. That evening at 5:30 pm we met a photographer under the Ocean City inlet pier to capture a few moments of our family. We knew that with a 3 month old it would be very hard to get decent pictures... It all depended on her mood. Luckily, she was happy but tired and a bit obsessed with her shoes {she's her mama's girl for sure} so she looked down a lot. But I'm so happy with how they turned out and these are the ones I will definitely be framing!
