Happy weekend friends! This week was a stressful one, learning about then preparing for the impending hurricane Irma that is staring down basically the entire Florida peninsula. I have to admit, as a west coaster most of my life the idea of hurricanes makes me pretty uneasy. We are prepped and ready for the storm and the days after, armed with tons of activities (thanks to your input over on this post) and snacks! It’s Saturday so that means it’s time for another round of Good Stuff Saturday ... Read More about Good Stuff Saturday
Coastal Fall Mantel Decor
I've been struggling with how to proceed with fall decor this year. Living in Florida, the concept of fall is really just a dream. In fact, last year my kiddos were swimming the day after Thanksgiving. In the past, I've just turned down the a/c, grabbed some pumpkin spice coffee, and went all in on fall.

At the bottom of the post, I listed some of my favorite deals you don't want to miss. I heard football starts today so I hope you have lots of delicious food and great company in your future. It’s Saturday so that ... Read More about Good Stuff Saturday
Weekends are for waffles
This weekend P had her first sleepover (insert my mama heart just burst in two because my baby is so big) and I'm pretty sure it was all that she could have ever imagined. Making homemade pizzas, decorating cupcakes, playing games, and running around squealing. They stayed up late and woke up early and I even overheard P's friend tell her, "this is the best sleepover ever." And she replied, "I know, right?" I mean, are we sure she's only 5? Since the girls started their morning at 6:30 am, I ... Read More about Weekends are for waffles
