- MINI FALL FASHION -

October 26, 2015 • SHOP

We are in full holiday planning mode over here. We've got our costume complete and Christmas cards planned. Let's get this party started! Here are a few outfits that would be great for the Halloween/Thanksgiving/Fall season. It is so fun, and easy, to dress Everly. I mean all the girl has to do is wake up and put a bow in her hair and she's the cutest darn thing I've ever seen. The epitome of "I woke up like this."

grey dress, green dress, orange dress

black shoes, maroon tights, boots, grey tights, brown shoes

We've got a full schedule this week of Halloween activities. I cannot wait to share pictures of Everly in her costume with you all. I melted when we tried it on over the weekend. Hope you all have a great Hallo-week! Thanks for stopping by!

We wrapped up our baby's first year package with Paige Logan Photography a couple months ago. I have pledged my love for Paige many times. Her work is beautiful. She always captures our family so perfectly. We took Everly's 12 month pictures at a local farm. Here are some of my favorites.

Look at those sweet baby rolls. One of my favorite things are her knee and thigh rolls. I will be so sad when she out grows them.

Thank you Paige for all of the beautiful pictures you have captured for us this year. These are absolutely priceless.

I hope you all had a wonderful Fall break! Thanks for stopping by!

1) Weather cool enough to enjoy hanging out on the back porch, yet still warm enough for popsicles.

2) Festive bows! Everly is pretty good about keeping a bow on if she's distracted when you first put it on her. She will eventually pull it out. But I can usually get a good hour out of a bow on her. I am dying to get some of these and these! How cute are those??!! And these clips are our favorites! We have several different colors of the Ryan and Wren clips. They are so simple and stylish and Everly hardly ever pulls them out. They have several new fall colors that I need to get my hands on.

3) This raglan tee on Etsy. And they have a matching toddler one too! I might just have to give in to that temptation. Comfy baseball tees are some of my faves. Matching baseball tees with the baby? Even better.

4) Festive garland! I absolutely love decorating for the holidays. And this felt garland and woolie ball garland are on my wish list. They are perfect for decorating your fireplace mantle or a chalkboard in the kitchen. I even have a pinboard in my office I plan on decorating with these.

5) These beautiful signs!! One of these is definitely on my Christmas wish list. (Is it too early to start one of those?) I would take one for every single room in our house. And there is a coupon code for 20% off that expires at the end of the day: AWAKEN20

6) These adorable banners. I have to get one of these for Everly's room. If you follow her on Instagram she announces when she posts festive banners. She had several Halloween ones that were too freakin' cute. They sell out so fast though you practically have to stalk her account.

7) And finally, back porch swingin' with my favorite girl. I run home as fast as I can at the end of the work day to catch as much daylight with her as possible. This weather will be short lived before it drops to the 50's and winter makes its arrival.

Nana has a fountain with rocks that Everly absolutely loves playing in. The rocks are pretty big and make me a little nervous for her to play with. I am just imagining one of the these smashing her toes or being tossed right through a window, or tossed at my head. But no injuries or damages have occurred so far.

I actually bought her a water table for her birthday that came with a couple of boats, a bucket and other water toys in hopes that she would leave the rocks alone. But, it didn't work, as you can see.

And I have to finish with this sweet face. This face, my heart.

Hope you all had a great weekend. Chad is off to Atlanta for the week so I will be single mom-ing it this week. Wish me luck!

A couple of days late recapping. But such is the life of a working mom, right? We had such a fun weekend. Our local orchard hosted a Family Fun Weekend. Reid's Orchard is one of my favorite places to go in the fall. They have a beautiful orchard, pumpkin patch, the cutest store filled with a ton of delicious goodies, and a huge play area for the kids with the neatest activities. They also booked one of my husband's favorite local singers, Andy Brasher. So Chad was excited about that. The weather was perfect. The way Everly was running around nonstop, screaming and laughing was almost like watching a wild animal being released from her cage. I cannot say enough how much this girl loves the outdoors.

Everly loves music as much as she loves being outside. Every time a tune would catch her ear, she would stop in her tracks and sway from side to side with her hand in the air. I posted a video on Instagram (@kristen.hart). She had us all laughing so hard. Her love for life is contagious.
