Halloween Costume Party Link Up

 

 

 

When I saw Julie from The Girl in the Red Shoes was hosting this fun party, I knew I had to join in.  What a neat way to see all the ideas for children's costumes and to be able to share your own.



 

  

Being a new mom I am excited to celebrate all of Griffin's first holidays.  Before I was a member of the "parent club" I loved seeing all of the littles dressed in their Halloween cuteness, no matter their age.

 

This year is going to be fun!  I knew I wanted to have a costume for Griffin to celebrate but I was uncertain what I wanted.  If you know me, then you know I am picky.  I don't like cutesy stuff on my little dude and I wanted something that would be easy since he is only six months old. 

 

 

This was the inspiration for his costume this year.  How adorable right?  I showed a co-worker what I wanted and she went from there.

I love the detail of the "hay" cuffs on his arms and legs.

We didn't have any problems with the hat staying on his head.  He cared way more about the cuffs that his adorable burlap hat.

 

 

Can you spy my little scarecrow?

 

I love how happy he is.  Pure Bliss.

His Moccs from Hello Moccs went great with the "hay" leg cuffs.

 

 

Thanks so much Julie for hosting such a fun link up.  If you want to show off your little's costume this year link up with the Halloween Costume Party and share!

Apple Picking and Pumpkin Patchin'

**Before I start today's post, I wanted to let you know that I am guest posting on Chasin' Mason and talking about being a #boymom!**

Like I've said before, life is just so much fun with Griffin around.  We have really enjoyed fun outings this fall.
Last weekend we went to Sky Top Orchard in North Carolina to go apple picking.  It was Griffin's first time and I loved being able to experience it with him.
                            

The weather was perfect and it was a wonderful fall morning.



We were able to meet up with some family at the orchard and couldn't miss the opportunity to have a little photo shoot with the sweet cousins.

This past weekend we wanted to do a little something with Griffin to celebrate his 6 month birthday. (Post on that coming later on in the week)

 My church hosts a pumpkin patch every year and the proceeds go to several missions in our area.

We picked out the perfect pumpkin to take home and we hope to carve it this week, just in time for Halloween.

Be on the look out for Griffin's six month update and a fun link-up sharing his Halloween costume.

 

Lover of Fall

Being that the first day of Fall is this Sunday, I only think its appropriate for me to share some of my fall favorites.  

 

 

 

 

Lets start with the most important!  Fall Smells and taste! Oh yum.

When fall is creeping up, I can't wait to get that first taste of pumpkin and the first smell of Carmel latte. 

We can thank Starbucks and Bath and Body Works for that. 

 

Usually the first day of September, Starbucks starts selling their famous Pumpkin Spice Latte.  It's so important it was written in my calender to insure I didn't forget.  Only thing is...Starbucks let out a little surprise and shared the pumpkin goodness with us a few days early.  Good one Starbucks!  

 

While Starbucks is my number one for their awesomeness, Bath and Body works is a close second.  I can easily do some damage in that store and don't think twice about it.  Some of their Fall 2013 goodies are their Pumpkin Hayride candle and Pumpkin Cupcake hand soap.

 

 

 

Another favorite about Fall is Fall decor and colors.  This season I am all about Rustic colors with hints of Gold. 

 

 

 

 Lush right? I love anything Gold for Fall.  These Ginko leaves from Pottery Barn are a great accent for your decor.

What are some of your Fall loves?
