Happy Friday, friends! Sorry for the light posting over the last few weeks. I’m having a really hard time sleeping most nights thanks to crazy heartburn, emptying my bladder repeatedly, and multiple dreams every night that are so disturbing I wouldn’t even talk about them out loud. Pregnancy is such a breeze! Anyhoo, lack to sleep in the middle of the night means going to bed even earlier and not being able to wake up much earlier than Camden and those are my margins of time for the blog generally. We are all just getting prepared for this baby! Me by not sleeping and you all by lack of blog posts.
Other than not sleeping, this week FLEW by as they all seem to be doing lately. We are looking forward to hanging “all together” (as Cam would say) this weekend and going to the pumpkin patch with friends! I hope you all have a great weekend and enjoy this Fall Faves edition of Friday Five.
Buffalo Check Pillow Cover | Pumpkin Pillow Cover
1. There are so many cute fall decor items around my house right now that I want to show you, I guess I should do a whole post about it. Are you all interested in that? I LOVE changing up my decor by switching up my pillows on my couch but A) they can get expensive and B) pillows can be a pain to store. Enter pillow COVERS. These are just covers (bought on Amazon of course) that I put over my regular couch pillows! Both bring such a fun touch of fall to the living room and are less than $9/cover. YAS.
Jacket | T-Shirt | Jeans | Flats
2. Fall weather finally decided to grace us with it’s presence yesterday! A high of 54 degrees was a little more aggressive than I was hoping for (it was 90 the day before) but you take what you get and you don’t throw a fit, ya know?! If you want to know what I’ll be wearing the rest of the pregnancy, see above. This jacket is the perfect top layer for fall! An extra layer, but not too thick. I have approximately 75 of my favorite maternity t-shirts (now if I could get my husband to stop putting them in the dryer…) and I’ll be living in these comfy jeans! Please don’t ask anything else of me. #7.5weekstogo
3. I dug this sign out of my office closet yesterday and I forgot how much it really completes my living room to have something in this space! Now if I could just figure out what I want there year-round. I am SO not crafty but I did DIY this sign two years ago and am so proud of how well it’s held up and how much I still love it! And it is truly simple. Believe me, if I can do it you can do it!
Candysaurus T-Shirt (Only $5.25 today!)
4. I need to start this one letting you know that I asked him to let me take a picture of his candy corn shirt by the pumpkins and this is how he set himself up. Melt. Holiday themed wear for Camden is definitely one of my favorites for fall! There is only so long he is going to tolerate jack’o’lanterns on his jammies so you better believe I’m going to embrace it while I can. It just makes me SO happy. I linked a few of our current faves plus a few more that are super cute down below.
5. My Instagram friends are probably really tired of me talking about this candle but I just can’t quit. I’ve made a, ahem, few trips to TJ Maxx to scrounge through the candle section and find some more. It smells like all my fall dreams coming true at once! The one linked on Amazon above isn’t too bad at $16, but I got the same size for $7.99 at TJ. The bigger one pictured was $12.99 I think and I about fell out of my chair when I saw how much it was going for on Amazon from the company who makes them! Nathan was shocked that someone would pay that much for a candle and I had to let him know that people actually pay a lot more than that for candles, ha.
It is now 6am on the dot and my kid is stirring in his bed. Time to get this day started! Hope you all have a great one.
