Happy Friday, friends! Nathan is out of town this weekend with some of his college friends, so Harrison and I are taking on this weekend on our own!
When you get to spend an hour shopping just for fun. So much of a favorite. Tried on a couple of things at Anthropologie:
It was December 2018, and I had just spent what felt like at least a year and a half giving everything of myself and body to keeping a precious new baby boy alive. As the new year was about to roll around, I found myself wondering whether I wanted to make a new year’s resolution. I rarely keep them. But they’re good for a month or two. I decided I would commit whole-heartedly to taking care of my skin. I could start to see the signs of age beginning to wear on my face. Who knows if those smile lines were just the result of a better camera or all of the nights that Harrison was up at night as a newborn. But it was time to put more effort, and yes, money, into taking care of the only skin I’m going to get.
What that meant was that I started seeing the esthetician at my dermatologist’s office regularly. Like once every month or two. In addition to doing regular facials, peels, and dermaplane with her, it also meant changing my at home skin care routine too.
Happy Friday! The first Friday of November. How did that happen?? We had so much fun visiting the grandparents last night to trick-or-treat with our little Mario! Time to turn that calendar and get ready for Thanksgiving! On to a handful of Friday Favorites this week!
We’ve had the best October! We’ve done ALL the fall things. Not to mention enjoying the outside cooler temps – cooking out, playing outside in the yard, having the windows open. Those are my absolute favorite days.
I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer to share with you what’s going on in our life lately!

I’ve started using the Curly Girl hair method, and I think it may officially be my most favorite hair style yet.
Let me back up…
I always knew I had wavy hair. Like the kind of hair that you can’t just walk out of a shower and let air dry and it magically is straight or curly kind of hair. Through middle school….high school….college….post-college life…ok, so I don’t change my hair much, I switched between straightening it and wearing it curly – like that gel-ly, ‘your hair still looks wet’ curly that was ever so popular in the early late 90’s and early 2000’s.

As we speak, Kendra, my sister, and I are on a plane heading out for a girls trip. And I. Am. So. Pumped! We are going to lay by the ocean, eat enough food that we have to unbutton the top button of our pants, and drink all the southern cocktails while we secretly scope for the cast of Southern Charm. 
Follow along over on the Insta.
Today, I’m linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea to share some of my latest Loft loves! Loft has long been my go to for work tops. I love the quality of the material, that they are machine washable AND dry, and that they’re so easy to dress up for work or dress down for a weekend or date night out.

We’re going to celebrate with a special treat and extra pets and hugs from the family. Maybe even a round of fetch outside. But I wanted to share our next installment in all things fall!
First, I shared our family’s Fall Bucket List.
Last week, I shared my go-to fall transitional clothing.
This week, I wanted to share a house tour of our house decked out for fall! There is nothing that makes me feel more ready for fall than a house with fall decorations, a fall candle burning, and snuggling underneath a warm blanket in the evening.
Most of our fall decorations have been accumulated from a variety of stores and boutiques throughout the years. Anything that’s still in stock, though, I’ll link below:

Last week, I shared our family’s Fall Bucket List.
This week, I’m sharing my favorite fall transitional clothes. As I’m writing this blog post, though, it’s sunny and 90* out today. Ninety. I’ve got a fall state of mind: wanting to dress with all of the rich, warm colors of fall, but still be comfortable in a state that’s stuck in summer weather. Here are some of the items in my closet that I’m reaching for over and over again right now as we transition into fall:

You all. It’s my first What’s Up Wednesday! I’m linking up with Shay and Sheaffer to share with you what’s going on in the Lane’s life.
I’m so excited! This is part of the reason I wanted to start this blog – to have a way to capture and hold on to memories of Harrison growing up, and a way to look back years from now and remember what our lives were like when we had a one year old. Ok – so here we go:

Are you even a blogger if you don’t blog about the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale? No. The answer is no. For those of you who are new to the Anniversary Sale, here’s the deal: Every year, Nordstrom puts a selection of their brand new fall merchandise on sale. It’s not just clothing either – there’s beauty essentials, shoes, accessories, and even home items. I basically stock my entire closet for the fall/winter with this sale.
