Happy October 1st everyone! I cannot even begin to tell you how excited I am for this month. It is literally my most favorite month of the year!

Today I thought I’d hop on real quick before we begin out Gilmore Girls marathon on Netflix and our Halloween decorating, to share with you some of my favorite things from September. Because as much as I love October, September was a pretty great month as well.

First up, one of my favorite things about Fall is all the new scents! I love scouting out what new scents come out each season.

Some of my favorite scents right now are Acadia Sweet Vanilla & Pumpkins by Air Wick & Pumpkin Pie Dinner by Glade. (I also came across a Cashmere Woods scent by Glade as well that I only passed on because it didn’t look like it was limited edition like these others. It’s definitely on my shopping list for this Winter though!)

The past week or so I’ve been using the Pumpkin Pie Diner wax melts and I have been amazed at how much scent one of those little wax melts packs! One fills up almost our entire house! (Maybe my Scentsy cubes are just old, but they don’t give off nearly as much scent as these ones from Glade?! I am still using my Scentsy warmer though).

And those scented oils will be getting plugged in down in the basement and upstairs… just as soon as I can find my holders for them! We still have some unpacking to do around here!

(Note: To find these scents in stores, look for a Limited Edition display on the air care isle. That’s where I found them at our local grocery store.)

Second, I am really enjoying the book The Brainy Bunch: The Harding Family’s Method to College Ready by Age Twelve. If you are a home schooling parent or even just someone interested in different ways to educate, this is a great read! Love reading about their philosophies, experiences, etc. So much great information!

I actually picked this up at Barnes & Noble a couple days before I had Chayse and have slowly been making my way through it since then. It’s taking me a while, not because it’s a hard book to get through, but because it’s hard to find longer than 2-3 minutes to read each day with everything else that’s going on. 🙂

Looking at this photo also reminds me of another favorite thing, my leopard print coasters from the Dollar Store! So cute and useful!

Third on my favorites list, is our new car seat cover for the baby girl from Ivory Kate! I ordered this limited edition cover right when they came out and I about died when it arrived. So gorgeous and well made! Plus, it’s a thicker material so it will be perfect for winter!

I don’t believe you can order these anymore (I think only like 3 or 4 were made) but what you can do is follow Ivory Kate on Instagram and Facebook to see if the owner ever does another set. (Side Note: The owner of Ivory Kate, also has an Instagram account called latewithkate where she shares random tidbits about life and she is hilarious! When I’m up late nursing Chayse, her account is one of the first I check!)

Fourth, are these ridiculously addicting and yummy Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups from Trader Joe’s. When we went to Pittsburgh for Chayse’s appointment with the Ortho Specialist we were right by a Trader Joe’s and decided to stop in real fast for a couple things.

The store was PACKED and crazy busy so we literally ran in and out, but I did manage to grab a couple things on my list…and these delicious things! If you ever find yourself in a Trader Joe’s, grab these and then thank me later! 🙂

Fifth, are these garbage bags from Glad that neutralize odors with Febreze freshness. Maybe I’m late to the party but I seriously am so excited about these and I came by them on accident.

I purchased these really fast one day on Amazon because they were a good price and we were out of bags for our kitchen. When they came and I opened them I was really surprised by the scent they had. They smelled SO good! (Like I wish you could smell through the computer screen good!) I hadn’t realized I had purchased ones with any thing extra on them, I thought I’d bought just plain old garbage bags.

I’ll definitely be watching for another deal on these to pop up. I mean, now that I know these exist…not so sure I can go back to the regular ones! (Especially when the price is comparable!)

 
Last on the list for this month is this Chevron Chenille Throw from Kohl’s that I was able to grab for around $5.00! (Reg. $50!) We have slowly been putting our house together little by little. And while we want it to feel warm and inviting, we also don’t want to invest too much in things just for this home because we will only be here another 8 months. 
Enter the accessories! I love blankets scattered around our home for the fall and winter months and this one was perfect for this little area. 
That sums up my favorites for this month, well a few of them any way! I also want to put together a post of New Mom Must-Haves and a post of Favorite Baby Items and so I tried to stay away from those categories! Hopefully I’ll get those done sometime this month as well though. 🙂

i have a confession. i enjoy design and decor but i rarely find myself getting ecstatic or really inspired over weddings. i enjoy them, i love helping other people plan theirs, but really i find them all relatively the same. i can appreciate a well done wedding but it i am rarely oozing with envy, going “oo la la”, or jumping out of my skin i love it so much when i walk into a wedding or reception. (i’m just weird that way. even weirder, is my wedding was so simple and generic, you’d be rather surprised. that’s another story for another time though.)

then i saw the above magazine layout. j’adore. tres chic. perfection. i’m oozing with envy literally! i got chills. thank you z gallerie for posting this on facebook. it made my day. i’m in love. i’m not going to lie i may even save it to a file in my computer and try to talk a cousin, a friend, a niece (down the road), or someone, anyone, into giving me free reign over every single detail and letting me design something using this layout at as the inspiration.

am also loving the cake, the dresses, the hair, the make-up, the dark polish manicure & the shoes (oh! the shoes!) basically, i’m adoring it all. i mean the photo with the hair in a sleek modern ponytail with that gorgeous orchid instead of a veil. simply simple and simply perfection. it’s fabulous.

hmmm. maybe i can talk my sister-in-law into changing her colors and theme for her wedding in august that i’m helping a little with, i mean she’s already planning on green as a main color so it wouldn’t be changing it too drastically? what do you say brooke? oh i’m totally kidding. sort of.

well friends, the full layout can be viewed here. make sure you don’t miss the jeweled encrusted tarantula! such a phenomenal and unexpected detail. enjoy!

(so, i know this is my 3rd post today, but i couldn’t help it. i saw this pop up and had to blog about it.)

chic on a shoestring

Every day, the body eliminates toxins through the colon, professional viagra cheap kidney, lung, liver, skin. It great thing to help buy viagra no prescription blood circulate well in the direction of penis. Male modeling Male models can do viagra pfizer 25mg anything from commercial modeling to high fashion. The failure of penile erection doesn’t allow the sufferer to perform in bed and keep them deprived from cialis properien unica-web.com the lovemaking session.

how cute is the mini cardi with the zebra print? also comes in heather gray
so would love to buy this swim dress. perfect to wear while chasing my little man around the pool as it disguises all those parts that jiggle even after you’ve stopped moving 
( i kind of have an addiction to swimsuits if you haven’t noticed!)
this scarf cardigan i think is super adorable. it also comes in heather grey. they displayed it as a swimsuit cover up and i thought that was a superb idea. definitely a fresh take on the cover up.

all of the above can be purchased at downeast basics
now for the details of the post, the wordy part, if you will.
on a whim i went to a “how to dress for your body shape” class put on by alicia at chic on a shoestring. i really had no idea what to expect, but hey, it’s two hours all about clothes, it’s got to be fun, right?

alicia did not disappoint. the five dollar price of admission was 100% worth it. especially with the goody bag containing discounts at downeast, as well as,  coupons for alicia’s personal shopping services. plus there was a super cute bracelet valued at more than five dollars included in the goody bag.

this girl definitely knows that she is talking about. i would love to go shopping with her. her tips and trends were right on and i got some very useful information. for example i now know i am a short torso, long leg body type. who knew? i’ve always figured i’m short all over. i also loved her talking about color, and about what is and isn’t a good investment. a lot of what she said was a little bit of a review, but she is so adorable, you don’t mind listening again. it’s funny i can design and decorate a room like its nothing, but dressing myself every morning? sometimes a stressful disaster. i’d much rather shop for home decor than for my own body. although i am getting better at putting together outfits. branching out a little more. i’m just not very adventurous. i like to stick to standards and classics for the most part. i’ve also become a little lazy since becoming a mom – time to say “shame on me!” and start having less “loungey” days.

alicia definitely inspired me to want to come home and go through my entire wardrobe. do some thorough investigating as to what i actually own. then reassess what does and doesn’t actually work for my body type. my petite, short torso, long legged body type. can’t wait to see what different outfits i can create with the clothes i already own.

oh, and also on hand. was the head designer for downeast basics. she had a lot of phenomenal tips as well. so happy to see she is the cutest thing ever and is a down-to-earth girl who has a real body – not a size 2 bean pole body. she’s got curves and she wears all of the items that downeast carries. love that!

alicia will be doing lots more events/workshops this year and if you need a little tweaking of your own in the clothing department i highly recommend attending one. i had fun and learned a thing or two. it would be a perfect girls night!

(the pictures above were some of my favorite clothing items featured during the night.)
