We’re doing one of our favorite fall activities today, so I got inspired to share some ideas with you of some of the things you can do with your kids and as a family this fall and autumn. SHOP THIS POST Pumpkin Patch This is right up there when it comes to favorite fun fall activities. I am huge fall lover and I look forward to going to our local pumpkin each year. It’s just such…

The One Thing I Bought from the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale 2018
SHOP THE POST: Sale: my exact pair is sold out, but I’ve linked similar styles in my RewardStyle app for you! Happy Monday, mamas! This post is so overdue which got me thinking about how we, mamas, do so much for our family but we reserve so little time for ourselves (and if you’re a mommy blogger, very little time for blogging!). So I’m hoping you won’t judge me because I was supposed to post this a long time ago! You know what they say: better late than never! Anyway, this summer was my first time shopping the NSALE. I have to be honest: I couldn’t find any clothes that…

Fall Entry Decoration Ideas
All you have to do is search “fall front porch decor” on Pinterest and you will get thousands of swoon-worthy images that pop up to offer up some inspiration. If you’re like me, this year, I am not at all into Fall decorating. I don’t know what it is, I just have not been in the mood to pull out all of my fall decor items. So I have resorted to decoration with my eyes by scrolling through tons of pins. The funny thing is that every year I tell myself that I will go all out this year (not just with fall decor), but literally with every single holiday…

Apple Picking at Stribling Orchard (Northern Virginia)
Hey, guys! Happy Halloween weekend! Have you ever been apple picking? So for the longest time we have wanted to go picking–fresh fruit anything–from local farms near us, but we always seem to miss the picking schedule. We just literally missed peach picking so I definitely didn’t want to miss Fall apple picking. There are seriously so many fall activities to choose from here in Northern Virginia, all you need is an afternoon and some willing participants! LOL.. my family is trying to get out more so I’m so happy we all decided to go apple picking as a family since we’ve never been. It was such a great experience…

Under The Floral Spell // Fall Blooms
It is looking more and more like Fall around Loudoun County. And I am so excited to experience cooler temps and gorgeous fall foliage + blooms! To kick-off the weekend, I went to my local Trader Joe’s where they have so many varieties of fall flowers, fillers, and mixed bouquets, and for a steal too! While there I picked up some Italian wines. I love La Granja 360 Spanish varieties (Tempranillo, TempranilloGarnacha, and Rosado). Later the hubby and I went to happy hour at a local gem, Senor Frogs, and literally had like two rounds of the best chips and salsa ever! I did not like their margarita so I…

Blanket Scarf
Weekends at home with my Little A are coveted; we relish in every waking moment to make sure that we both take advantage of the slower pace from our early morning routines of wake-up-breakfast-go. I am completely aware of how that must sound but you know, our lives our hectic during the week, and I give my little girl kudos for being a morning champ! She wakes up not crying 95% of the time, brushes her teeth, and onto breakfast and mini cuddle sesh with her kitty. And she even dresses herself and gets her shoes on all by herself! On those weekends where we’re running errands or going to…
