I used to blame my years of dance – where I literally lived in a bun or ponytail – for my hair-breakage and split-ends. Now I blame my mom-bun. Its funny how things change so much, but sort of stay the same. My hair is naturally wavy/curly/frizzy, but add in lots of southern sun and hair ties and you’ve got a full-on mess of a situation. It’s true (just see my before photo below). I have always had split ends, and after reading about the causes of them, it is no wonder!

I received a POPSUGAR Must Have box in exchange for an honest review.
I have received several POPSUGAR Must Have Boxes and I think this one is my favorite! It is the 5th anniversary of POPSUGAR and the box reflected their big birthday celebration! It also happens to be my birthday month, and it felt like they knew it and sent it to help me celebrate!


It’s Friday and Christmas is only 2 days away!! Who’s ready? We have had a CRAZY week leading up to Christmas. Ryan has been out of town and had lot’s of meetings, so I have basically been doing it alone with the three kids and had them alone overnight for the first time since having Weston and I am Worn. Out. I am planning on resting today because we are celebrating with all of our family tomorrow and Sunday and it will be cuh-ray-zee!!
Until Christmas festivities, here are a few of my favorites this month:

If you’ve been around my blog for the last few months, you know how much I LOVE the FabFitFun box! It is a subscription box that only goes out once a season so it is not overwhelming, but it is also always amazing! They give you full size products, so you get more and the products usually turn out to be some of my favorites. I received my winter box last week and have really been enjoying it so far!

Where has October gone? My favorite month of the year and it is flying by so quickly. This week has been/will be full of birthday fun for Hamp, fall parties at his school and trunk-or-treat at church! The fun doesn’t stop there. The October POPSUGAR Must Have Box is amazing. I am obsessed with everything in it. There is still time to grab yours for $5 off with code SHOP5!

Today is the first day of fall! My favorite season! Pumpkins, Boots, Scarves, Hay Bales, Soups, Baked Goods, Leaves, Football, Cooler Weather, Leggings, etc. etc. I can’t wait for it all! We still have about 4 more weeks before it will start cooling off around here, but I am getting very excited! This season, we will be moving into our brand new house and welcoming our brand new baby boy! We will be celebrating our 5th year anniversary and Ryan and Hampton’s birthdays. We will visit the pumpkin patch and I will wear booties every day. Yes, I am a little excited that fall is finally here! My week was made when my Fall FabFitFun box arrived the other day and I can’t wait to show you the goodies that were in it!

I haven’t done a Friday Favorites post in a while, but I thought today would be a great day to do it because I have had a lot of favorites this week!

Hampton is starting a Mother’s Morning Out program in 3 weeks, so we are about to be thrown into all of the back-to-school hoopla for the first time. We are excited and I am feeling all of the emotions. But, first, we are going on one last summer vacation to the beach with some good friends of ours! We are beyond excited. Sophie has only been to the beach a couple of times for little day trips at my grandmother’s house, so I am excited to let her explore a little bit more. I think this is the first time we are going on an actual beach trip as a family of four, so we are thrilled to make new memories. One thing I have already been planning and packing is our beach bag. With two little ones, you can never be too prepared. I like to have all my bases covered when it comes to our beach bag essentials and be ready for every possible scenario – sunburn, sickness, irritated eyes, etc.
