Hey there, Friday…it’s great to see you again!
Just popping in to share five of my favorite things today…
ONE.
And this is why I don’t take selfies…yikes! If you can get past my awkward face, you’ll see my new favorite fall accessory–this jean-jacket sweatshirt thingamabob. It’s $34.99 at Target (not listed online yet)…and I pretty much plan on living in it the next couple of months. So comfy and just the right fit!
TWO.
Arden is LOVING preschool and it makes me so ridiculously happy. Every day she comes home singing new songs and spouting off random facts (“Mom, did you know baby koalas live in their mommy’s pouches?”)…and this week her class had some special visitors from the farm. Nash and I got to join the fun too and we all fell in love with Dora the pig. I mean, how could you not?
THREE.
We’re busy party planning over here, but taking breaks to work on some little Halloween costumes. I’m dying to show you Arden in her “Indian princess” costume, but I’ll save the reveal for the big day. Just know that it was inspired by these cool kids…Sacajwea & Pocahontas circa 1991. Don’t you love my sister’s sweet perm?!?
My dad made our acorn necklaces back then, so of course I asked him to do the same for Arden. I can’t wait to share pics of our little cowboy and indian duo on Halloween!
FOUR.
Fall TV is back! We started watching two new shows–Blood & Oil and Quantico, and I’m really liking both of them. Then of course there are my old favorites: Nashville, Scandal, and Homeland. Basically, more shows then I can ever keep up with…but that makes for good binge-watching on a Friday or Saturday night. Yep, we’re so cool.
Do you have any favorite new shows??
FIVE.
Because…fall.
Happy weekend, friends! We’re off to MHK to cheer on the cats!!!
XOXO

That jean jacket/sweatshirt is awesome! I'm going to see if they have it in my size at our target. So glad Arden loves preschool. That's so great and I love the pig too! I always wanted a pot bellied pig growing up. Ha ha. Their costumes are going to be great! Can't wait to see.

Indian Princess! How cute will that be. Esp since she'll get the traditional acorn necklace!

Your kids are adorable…and your dog is just too much! Love how you have decorated your entry way!

You are incapable of taking a bad picture, my friend! You're just too darn cute! There is nothing better than a perfect denim jacket!

Love that jean jacket sweatshirt thingamabob! Perfect for any fall outfit 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend! P.S. I love how you decorated your doorstep!
Jenuine Happiness says
That is so great that she loves preschool! What a little smartie you have on your hands. I love the shirt/jacket combo…very cute! Also, that photo of the dog just makes me smile, so funny and sweet. Hope the weekend is wonderful!

Hey Vanessa! This is crazy random but do you happen to know if Arden's preschool had a traveling petting zoo to come to them and if so, who was it? I am that crazy mom that wants to get one for Stella's 2nd birthday 🙂 I have contacted 2 online but haven't gotten a response yet. I am not giving up though! Would you mind asking them and then texting or emailing me? I told you. Crazy and random.
Vanessa says
Hey girl!! That is not crazy–it's AWESOME! This group was called Stable T Farms and they were great! Here's a link I found online: http://www.partypractical.com/vendors/Stable-T-Farm-828617.html Hope that helps!! 🙂
Courtney says
Gooooo Royals!! 🙂
That green gourd looks like a giant avocado on your porch lol. Which, I'm totally down with.
Karra says
Can I just say that I LOVE that your blogging more!!! and our wild and crazy weekends consist of binge watching netflix/hulu too 😉
Dawn says
I am currently in a full one binge fest of Scandal on Netflix right now! How have I missed out on this show?!!
Hall Around Texas says
Your jean jacket/sweatshirt is fabulous. I haven’t seen those at our Target. Probably because I live in Texas and it’s still hitting the 90’s here. Ha. What a fun preschool! Adorable pictures! Those fluffy chickens are my favorite. Oh how I remember perms. My mom always thought that was a good idea…the pictures say otherwise! Lol. Is that your porch and pup? LOVE!!!
Jen at And Hattie Makes Three says
I'm not sure I'm ready to take on Homeland for another season – it's so intense! And it's in the future now a few year and in whole nothing city! We've been watching that NPH show – Best Show Ever – it's ridiculous and I can't stop watching!
Sara McCarty says
Oh my gosh, I can't wait to see their costumes!!!!! How adorable. Mac is insisting on being Buzz Lightyear. Ugh.
Sarah says
You are so cute! It's not a bad selfie and I love that jean jacket!! Target (and Old Navy) for the win!
