Watching | Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest
For the one hundredth time.

I seriously wonder if I will ever watch adult TV ever again.
However, if you have little ones and haven't seen this,
it's super cute and of course festive!

Reading | the Hunger Games, Mocking Jay

Still.
If you have a 22 month old that doesn't nap and sleep you will understand
that sometimes it takes a year to finish a single book.

*NO SPOILERS PLEASE & THANK YOU*

Listening To | Taylor Swift "Shake It Off"
because I absolutely love her and until I get the new album,
well this is all I have, haha!

Working On | The Simply Sweet Prints Holiday Collection.

I will be launching the first three cards tomorrow,
and I am seriously, so excited!

I am also working on my little man's 2nd (sigh) birthday invitation,
that needs to go out asap.
All I keep thinking is how on earth is this little thing going to be
turning two already?!

Feeling | A little less stressed, very overwhelmed,
and so excited for Halloween Friday!
(I'm obsessed with each and every holiday,
some holidays being extremely obsessed "insert Christmas here")

Planning | Planning my little man's 2nd birthday.

Now that we have a set location (our home)

I am starting to plan out what and where everything will go,
and how crazy (or not so crazy) I want to get in the decorating department.
(I tend to go overboard easily.)

Loving | That my husband will be home Thursday, for good.

He's had some out of state training and it's been a stressful month.

Once he gets home, I'm never letting him leave me ever again!

My Favorite Photo | We took the little guy to a Fall Fest this past weekend,

and I'm not sure if it was the fest in general, the pumpkin patch that he absolutely loved,

or the sucker in his hand... but oh my gosh, this picture!

Simple Things Sunday #4

I can not even believe my last post was two weeks ago!

I felt so overwhelmed and busy with Halloween, so I'm pretty sure I'm not even remotely prepared for the craziness of Thanksgiving and Christmas, with a 1st Birthday inbetween.

Anyways. I'm back at it.

Moments from this week.

I'm backdating a little to Jackson's first pumpkin patch and first Halloween. Both events I know he will never remember. However, my husband and I will, so we wanted to make sure to make it a special one! We took him to his first fall fest, first pumpkin patch, got him his first pumpkin- and decorated it, and dressed him up and took him trick-or-treating. We had the best time, and made so many new memories!

Thanks for stopping by!

Trick-Or-Treat

Fact: I get my love of ALL holidays from my mom.

For as long as I can remember, my house was one of the "cool" houses to trick-or-treat at. At times, kids would even come by more than once, as if we wouldn't notice. :)

I will always remember sitting at the kitchen table with my mom, emptying the big bags of candy, and sorting it into two piles: chocolate and non chocolate. There were months we would even have non-food items such as Halloween pencils, erasers, and stickers. We would sit there and make little goodie bags for each and every little (and not so little) trick or treater that rang our doorbell.

So... I can't help myself when I find the most adorable ideas for "treat bags" on pinterest. Below are some of my favorites, and if we didn't live in an apartment where we literally get NO trick-or-treaters (I don't get it!) I would try my hardest to *persuade* my husband into letting me make at least one of these!
