Layers + a POP of Red

I can't believe it's Thanksgiving week! Eeek! I have so much to do to get my shit together before family comes in town this week. We are hosting a huge dinner at our house and even though the majority is ordered (thank you Whole Foods!!) it's still stressing me out. 

Anywho, now that we are in the swing of Christmas over here (we put up our tree last week and the kids are loving it!) I am loving pops of red. And the Starbucks red cups this year are so much fun. I know I'm not the only one who loves a good 'ol red Starbucks cup! 

This red bag is new and I absolutely love it! It comes in many colors but I had my eye on the red for a while. It's a knock off of the Chloe bag and I am really digging the shape of this cross body. I love that having a nice bag on takes an outfit up a step!

This beanie is a fav of mine and is only $15! This jacket was a steal at Forever 21. I will link similar options below. I just recently got these jeans and they are so comfy and stretchy! A must!!! And under $100. These booties and this black long sleeve tee are basics that I always reach for. 

I've talked  before about how a nice statement watch (like my favorite gold one here) can make any outfit look more interesting and more expensive! And of course these booties are my go-to right now. Linking a ton of items below. Wishing you all a wonderful holiday week!! xo

Roma Rattles Keepsake

Hey guys! Today I am sharing our adorable rattles from Roma Rattles. Aren't they darling?! I got a few of these for friends who recently had babies and loved them! They come packaged so beautifully and are very well made. It comes with an oil to keep the rattle looking new and beautiful as well as a hand written note from the shop owner, which I loved. I have been impressed with this shop every time I order something! 

There are also a couple of options as far as style you can get to make them more personalized. I knew I would get one for Blake, but also got one for Ryder because I never got anything with his birth stats printed. (Shop Ryder's rattle HERE.) I thought I'd get it and it would be pretty decor I could add to his room. Turns out, he loves it even now (he's three!!) and likes playing with both of them! Ha. Silly boy. 

These are so beautiful and I absolutely love both styles. I decided to get the classic "B" for Blakely because I already have something with her birth stats written on and hanging in her room. (Shop Blake's rattle HERE.)

These are great gifts for friends and family who are expecting or just had a little one. Also, Christmas is just around the corner! Look at these adorable Christmas gifts HERE. If you get one, I'd love to see it and hear how much your little ones love it. :)

Ryder seeing his name... :)
This girl had so much fun shaking her rattle, I could barely get a picture in focus! HA
Huge thank you to Roma Rattles for our beautiful and personalized rattles that our babies will have as keepsakes forever!

Heart Full + Thankful

Hey guys! How cute is this tee from Crunchy Cuts?! I love their graphic tees for me and the kiddies! You can shop this exact tee HERE. This specific tee is perfect for this time of year. I also recently got this striped cardigan and love it. Sooo soft and will go with everything. I will be reaching for this thing all the time! 

Tooth got me this LV bag a few years ago (similar here) and I love the classic look. THIS bag has a very similar look, but more affordable. I like to use this bag when I'm carrying my laptop because it fits perfectly. 

These jeans are super stretchy (who doesn't love that??) and I really like the darker wash of them. I know I've mentioned this new personalized necklace from Stella & Dot before. But I seriously love it. The rose gold is my fav right now. (I got it personalized with my kiddies initials.) 

The turquoise ring I am wearing on my right hand was a gift from my mom. She was gifted a beautiful turquoise set (earrings, bracelet, ring and necklace) from her grandparents when she graduated high school. The set is beautiful and my mom gave them all to me on my 30th birthday. If you didn't already know, I love turquoise!!! This gift meant so much to me and I love wearing all the pieces. I will wear them forever and ever and someday pass all the pieces down to Blakely. 

Fun fact: Crunchy Cuts is based in Colorado! I love supporting small businesses. And the owner is so sweet! I hope you check out her shop and get some fun tees for the fam. xo

Beautiful Fall Nights in Colorado

We have been blessed with beautiful weather this fall! The weather has been amazing and we've been trying to soak it all up. I love evenings like this when we can eat dinner and take the kids outside to run off some steam before bath & bedtime. 

Blakely is KILLING me in this adorable outfit. She looks like a grandma to me for some reason and I seriously couldn't look at her without laughing! But seriously, the fox sweater?! The cutest. And those Valentino look-alike flats?! I die. GAH. Dressing a girl is so much fun. She has been the sweetest little love bug lately. She's growing too fast and seeing her personality shine is amazing. Sometimes I swear I'm gonna chew her cheeks right off, I love her so much. 

And Ryder. What a stud!!! He rarely let's me dress him anymore. I'm still not sure how I was able to get him in jeans?! His new deal is to scream and cry because he will only wear shorts. Ugh. Toddlers. #amiright But he really is the sweetest little guy who is starting to share better with his little sis. He's started to explain things to her and it's so cute. "No, Blake. We can't watch Paw Patrol right now. Mommy is watching the news." Bahaha. It kills me. So freaking cute. 

So here are way too many pictures of my little fam at the park. Tooth even made it into a few. I promise I have a real, human husband. He's not make believe. He's just usually the one being forced to take pics. ;) 

I guess it's supposed to snow tomorrow and I'm so pumped about it! I'm kinda ready for it to start feeling a bit more like winter so we can really get into the holiday spirit over here. :)

Oh my gosh! I can't handle her!!! :):)
Looks like someone snuck some trail mix (the proof is on his face!). Ha.
Tickle bug!!
Oh, that sweet little face. I just love her so much. My heart might burst!!!
Daddy's girl. We are in serious trouble with this situation right here. She's already got him wrapped around her little finger!!
Guys!!! Seriously, I can't take it!!!
Speaking of being wrapped around a finger... This guy. He knows exactly what to say and do to get his way with me. He's always asking me to snuggle him at night when it's bedtime. "Snuggle for 10 minutes, mommy??" Gah. Gets me every time. And he knows it. Last night I was saying good night and trying to slip out of his bed when he wrapped his little arms around my neck and held on so tight! I swear I just melted into a puddle right there!! So I decided I would lay and snuggle for a couple more minutes and then he started to tickle my arm and my face. OH MY GOSH!!!! If only I could freeze time.
Oh, these kiddies. They melt me in ways I never knew possible.

I guess it's supposed to snow tomorrow and I'm so pumped about it! I'm kinda ready for it to start feeling a bit more like winter so we can really get into the holiday spirit over here. :) Wishing you all a wonderful night!
