Hello Tuesday!
It’s homecoming week #2 around here and let me just tell you…I’m not sure I was built for two weeks in a row of hoco. Bahahaha!
Erika and I talked on the phone approximately 700 times yesterday and 699 of those calls were about how were we going to survive #allthethings this week.
It’s only Tuesday, and we’ve had a cheer family cookout, Broncofest, and a parade. I was scrambling yesterday to have two banners made for the parade. Pro tip (thank you, Erika!) is that Walgreens can print a really nice banner really fast for very little money. Who knew I needed that tip? Not me! In case you do too, there you go 🙂 .
So that’s where I am on this October 6th. I’m frazzled homecoming mom.
If you’re following along with my 31 DAYS OF OCTOBER RECIPES, today’s recipe is a really good one…

…it’s my PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHUNK CUPCAKES!
And then bonus PUMPKIN (it is October after all), today, I am also sharing my…

….CHEESY PUMPKIN BACON BREAD! You guys, this bread is DELICIOUS!
Today, we have PUMPKINS + PRIME as it’s time for an AMAZON LATELY: FALL EDITION!
I love seeing the random mix of what people buy on Amazon. I chuckle to myself when I open a box that contains underwear and dog food. Ha! I mean…only Amazon, right?
Okay since it’s October, of course, I must start with…

…all things PUMPKIN like MY SLIPPERS 🙂 .
They just make me so happy every.single.year.
Speaking of pumpkins, I recently Prime-d myself…

…this little tiny GOOSEBERRY PATCH PUMPKINS cookbook. It’s so small and yet fills me with such joy. I’ve mentioned this many times before, but I love Gooseberry Patch because of the little story telling they do with each recipe. They’re often just a sentence or two, but each one is just COZY!

And because one must have a PUMPKIN CLAW CLIP this time of year 🙂 .
For our trip to New York City, we knew we needed to bring…

…UMBRELLAS! So I bought…

…two of THESE UMBRELLAS before we left to add to our suitcases. They were light, compact, and worked so well…even in an Nor’easter!
Yesterday, I shared our FALL HOME TOUR…

…and in case you were wondering what that is behind the couch…

…it’s an INFLATABLE BARREL for tumbling 🙂 .

When I sit in the carpool line, I try to do something other than scroll on my phone. I often read a book, but lately, I’ve been doing this POCKET SUDOKU while I listen to an audiobook. It’s small enough that it fits in my glovebox.

I needed a fresh set of LIQUID CHALK MARKERS for my acrylic wall calendar. Over the years, I’ve tried different brands, but I always come back to this one because the colors and nice and vibrant.
I just bought two more pairs of…

…MY FAVORITE LEGGINGS! I am replacing every pair I have with these one by one (or two by two!). They are the very very best.

If you have a doggie that needs a cone, let me suggest one of THESE instead (if the vet thinks it’s appropriate). They are just so much easier and more comfy. We have used them several times now, and they always work like a charm. Recently, Poppy had a spot removed on her side that we didn’t need her biting and nipping at, so instead of the cone, we used this. I cannot recommend them more!
On Friday night, it was supposed to POUR at the Lovejoy game, so I came with three umbrellas, a sweatshirt, a jacket, and…

It did not rain.
I am keeping these ponchos in my trunk though for future games. Sitting out in the rain unprepared is the worst!
Speaking of THE WORST…

…I don’t know about you, but as I transition from sandals to boots, my feet take a beating. THESE ARE LIFESAVERS! They are significantly better than just using a Band Aid.

THIS SWEATER on repeat this fall…

…I wore it just yesterday again too. It’s perfect for transitional weather and comes in many other colors too!

This SOFT CHUNKY CARDIGAN comes in lots of color options as well!
And finally…

…THIS JACKET! It’s a really thin, cropped jacket that’s so easy to layer. I bought the buffalo plaid because it’s both Lovejoy colors AND it looked “holiday” to me, but it comes in SO MANY VERY FALL PRINTS TOO! Love.
Alrighty, don’t forget, you can catch my most recent TOP 10 FAVORITE PRIME FINDS post too and you can always take a look at MY AMAZON STOREFRONT where I’m sharing so many of my favorite PRIME DEALS!
PUMPKINS + PRIME on this Tuesday!
I hope you have the best, best, best day! I’ll see you back here tomorrow. xx
