September is Here!

 September. One of my favorite months, solely due to the return of football & Sam Adam's Octoberfest. We took full advantage of the sunshine-filled afternoons & tried a few new spots for playdates.  Kicked off Fall with a trip to the Orchard & had my first pumpkin spice latte of the season.  This September was one for the memory books & I think I say that every year, but they just keep getting better...

A stack of all things new (J.Crew & Amazon).

I ordered these magnets to keep the girls busy outside on the garage door...they were perfect for some morning fun!

A glitter/rock craft from my aunt provided an afternoon of fun on a rainy day!

Our first visit to the Indian River Reptile Zoo/Dinosaur Park.

The girls helped me pick out Anniversary cupcakes to take to dada at work (10 years this year for us)!

Spent an entire morning playing at an indoor playland & we will so be back, the girls had a blast!

This sweater from Anthro was the perfect match to these slides (sandals via F21).

Such a spooky harvest moon this year, definitely had me looking forward to scary movies!

An overcast morning at Archibald Orchards was a great way to kick-off Fall!

Moody's in Millbrook is my new fav place to grab a pint & some lunch!

Hello, Iowa!

This past September, we took our annual late summer/early fall trip to visit family & friends in Iowa.  It was Bo's first trip & most importantly, out first trip from our new home (an extra 2 hours away). I decided the best way to keep the girls busy was to make up a 'busy bag' for each of them.  It worked & we made it late evening.  We had the best trip & cannot thank grandma & grandpa enough for having us!

Busy bags for Sadie (Bug) & ZoZo (snack containers via Homesense).

Hello, Iowa! Busch Light & this view forever!

Chalk fun with grandpa on the deck, after playdough fun with gramma!

The perfect end-of-summer bag (via Anthropologie).

A last-minute party meant we could make it, I love when that happens! I miss out on so much being so far away!

I got these to go with three summer dresses & they are perfect (amazon).

This dress, so great for the end of summer (via Amazon).  Worn for a quick lunch with my bff!

Gma & Gpa surprised the grandkids with this fun remote control jeep! We could hardly get them out of it!

Could not, not get this ice cream tee (via J.Crew).

Ice cream tee, cardi, & slides (all via J.Crew) & a 6-pack over to a friends!

Got the girls new goggles, only for it to be too chilly to swim (via Anthropologie & J.Crew).

An early Xmas present for the girls was put to great use!

These two had the best morning at the museum learning all kinds of things & just being kids :)

Mid-Summer

More from summer.  This summer was filled with memories in our new city.  We've been having a blast exploring & spending loads of time with family.  The best part? Those last minute dinner invites that we could never do when we lived farther away.

Our first Ribfest in Peterborough. The only downfall? We missed out on the giant cobs of corn :(

These Free People embroidered dresses are so good that I have them in multiple colors!

We've really made a point to explore this year & get the kids out into the community :)

The Mr. surprised me with spicy pirogi pizza (via Boston Pizza) & I love him even more now...
