fall love list

Hi friends!! It has been quite some time since I've posted here and I hope you've had the BEST Summer and start to FALL! As much as I sometimes miss this space, taking a step back to focus on what really matters has been so good for my soul! And seeing as the "break" has lasted almost two years, if you're reading this and still following along just know I am so grateful!!

Our girls started school a few weeks ago and I can hardly believe September is halfway over already. Between our anniversary and three family birthdays (Poppy and both of my parents), September is always a favorite month of mine. Also, all the pumpkin things and evening light.

I thought it would be fun to share my Fall Love List and all the things I've been so excited about lately!!

First off, if you are planning Fall photos, this floral dress for little girls is the sweetest. Della wore it for our August sunflower session and it is so beautiful and timeless.

Also loving this striped rib-knit top for layering under sweaters and coats. I swear I had the exact same shirt as a little girl in the 90s. Anyone else??

For rainy Fall days, this polka dot raincoat is our fav. Lots of you asked about it last week when I shared a picture in stories and it is even better in person.

For us Mamas, I am obsessed with my new Sorel boots. I wanted these last Fall but my size kept selling out so when I came across them last weekend I grabbed them. They are so comfy and perfect paired with cozy socks (my fav ever here!) for all your Fall adventures. I have Elk but they also come in 3 other colors.

I don't think I've worn a headband in 20+ years but this knotted leopard one is my new fav. I bought it on a total whim and have worn it every day since. Bonus: I can share it with my girls, which is just so fun.

Obsessed with this Trailblazer Midi Fable bow. The perfect Fall neutral. Also loving this gorgeous "Campout" blue one.

We got this Fall board book last year and it remains a favorite, especially for Della. Such cute illustrations and a great way to learn new words.

These are the most darling lunchbox notes ever. I write a note on the back of each square card and then our girls love popping them open to see what they say. They have all their favorites saved in a basket in their room and it melts my heart.

I've had all my favorite soups & chilis on rotation and this soup fixing caddy is something I use all the time. If its left out on my counter, its pretty enough that I don't mind looking at it ;)

Also loving this 10" lazy susan for entertaining. Available as an 18" one as well.

I am trying to make it a goal to journal more at the end of each day once the girls are in bed. My two favorites right now are the Weekly Prayer Project and this Mara Mi Gratitude Journal. What I love so much about the gratitude one is that it has a section for each day that says "Tomorrow I will remember..." and I always write little things the girls do and say that I don't want to forget.

And last but not least, if you haven't yet tried it, order a Medicine Ball from Starbucks the next time you need a pick-me-up. It is the yummiest blend of jade mint green tea + peach tranquility tea with steamed lemonade and honey. I am not normally a big tea drinker but this is my new fav especially on chilly mornings after school drop-off.

Tell me what you're loving this season!!! Thanks as always for reading!!
