Happy Saturday, friends!
I hope your weekend looks a little bit like…

…this ๐ .
Super relaxed.ย With pumpkins around.
Thank you so so so much for being here with me today!
Here’s a little bit of bonus fall fun for our weekend starting with…


…I know, I know, I know.ย I did a Trader Joe’s Haul on Thursday BUT I somehow forgot to mention this!ย And it might be my favorite find right now.
You. Guys.
It’s delicious!
It’s the same shape, size, texture and crunch of Pirate’s Booty, but it’s maple flavored.
I don’t say this often, but I could not stay out of this bag.ย I typically can eat something delicious and walk away.ย I could not walk away.ย This is crazy good.ย Crazy, crazy good.

You know how you see something on Facebook and you pause a second too long and then…it’s all you see on Facebook?
That was me when I saw…

…this mug.ย Ha!ย I saw it early September, and it made me laugh.ย I paused a second too long and thus, it was in my feed every single time I opened Facebook.ย I bought myself and my mom one because we love a bag and we love coffee and we love Halloween.
Ironically, I put Lovie on my mom’s mug and I bought it from an online website called Dear Lovey.ย It was meant to be!

Last year, I shared this with you…

…my sweet friend made me a bundt cake and gave it to me in this ADORABLE container.ย Isn’t it just the cutest?!
So many of you asked me where she got it, and I had no clue.
Fast forward to this week when I was at Hobby Lobby buying homecoming things and…

…look what they have!

Just so cute!
You should buy one as a gift too and inside…

…you should put my CANDY CORN BUNDT CAKE ๐ .

You guys…

…how cute are these newlyweds?!

Thank you for doing these Saturday posts. You are such an encouraging person to spend a few minutes with as I start my day ๐
Nicole Klaver says
Love starting my Saturday here! Also!! I have to ask – are you no longer wearing your Apple Watch?!
Mix and Match Mama says
I wear it every day when I wake up, through my workouts and sometimes a little after that, but I’ve been trying to take it off and not have it one during my work day and especially at night when I’m with my family. As much as I LOVE my Apple Watch, I did find that as I’m trying to be more and more “present” in life, it was distracting me. I’m currently wearing it though typing this sentence ๐ .
