I love that Friday Favorites is a little recap at the end of the week. It’s almost a practice in gratitude and finding happiness and joy in the things that bring a smile to your week. Some weeks, I have more favorites than I could ever possibly share, and other weeks, I really have to think long and hard about what made this life wonderful. But that’s what it’s all about, right? Ebbs and flows. But finding gratitude always.

I’m linking up with Erika, Narci and Andrea to share a heap of random Friday Favorites!

I’ve been dreaming and reminiscing about the most perfect of fall days we had last weekend with my sister’s family out at the pumpkin patch.

The little kids got to splash in the water and run around in the mud, and even found a preying mantis on a pumpkin in the patch. It was the most picturesque of days, and it’s one that I’m going to cherish for a very long time.

I blogged a couple of weeks ago about my switch to the Curly Girl Method. The more I talk about the #CGM, the more and more people I find that know about and love it too! It takes a little while to get used to, and I’m still finding just the perfect products for my 2A hair (Yes! Hair is typed – and you can take the hair quiz here). A reader, Laurie, left me a comment to try the DevaCurl Ultra Defining Gel, and I’m LOVING it. I’ve been layering it as a 1-2 gel with Bounce Curl Light Cream Gel. Give me alll of the advice on styling curly girl hair!

The double gel is making my curls look like this…

Turns out it’s really hard to take a good picture of the back of your head.

Nathan and I went out last Friday for a beautiful, fancy dinner to celebrate our anniversary. I love spending time with my guy getting to talk and dream together. It was only made better by sharing one of our favorite bottles of wine.

That’s all I got this week! Harrison and I are off to his daycare Halloween party! The cutest little Mario is about to hit the streets for candy!
