Tuesday Tidbits – 309

Happy Tuesday before Thanksgiving my friends! My family and I will be making our way to Portland to spend Turkey Day with all of Tommy’s family later today. I’ll be taking the rest of the week off from blogging to be present with all of my in-laws. Hope you all have a fabulous Thanksgiving.

  • No shame in our game – we put up our Christmas tree last night. Has anyone else done the same? Stay tuned for some photos.
  • The question of questions – Pumpkin Pie or Pecan Pie?

Tuesday Tidbits – 308

  • This cape scarf looks perfect and so comfy for airplane travel.
  • Luke says “Happy Fall”!
  • We’ll be heading to Sicily, Italy for Christmas so naturally I’m already thinking of everything I have to pack for the kiddos and myself. Another thing on my mind – how to handle “Santa”. We’ll be staying in an Airbnb so we can definitely do the whole milk and cookies thing, I’m talking about the present thing. Ava is 4.5 years old so at the prime age where the magic of Santa is everything and the concept of Christmas presents is at its utmost peak. I think I have settled on packing several small wrapped presents (like this) for her to open on actual Christmas day and then will have her big Santa gift and maybe some other presents ready to open either before we leave on our trip or after we come back. (Luke being 16 months is in happy oblivion, so emulate what I do with Ava for him). Any advice or thoughts on this?

  • This dress would be so versatile.

Happy cold and rainy Tuesday from DC! If you had Veteran’s Day off yesterday, I hope you enjoyed it. Let’s dive into this week’s Tidbits shall we?!

  • Getting excited for our Friendsgiving gathering this Saturday! I put in an order for some delicious pies at Dog Tag Bakery this past weekend. 🙂
  • Love this photo I snapped yesterday at the Old Town Alex waterfront.
  • I watched Holiday in the Wild yesterday and loved it. Of course, the holiday tilt helped, but I loved the message of the film too. And, hello, it’s also a RomCom.
  • Anyone else started fine-tuning their Christmas shopping list of gifts to buy for friends and family?
  • I am contemplating buying this tote for work travel and Christmas travel to Sicily. While I’ve read a lot of great reviews, a friend had a negative review of the bag – particularly the strap. If anyone else has any feedback, good or bad, I would really appreciate it!

Happy Tuesday before Halloween! Or as I like to refer to it:

  1. Do or die day for the Washington Nationals….
  2. I’m not sure I agree with this move, seems like a prime audience.
  3. Where Women Fall Behind at Work
  4. I worked on a fabulous Friendsgiving Wedding styled photo shoot with some amazing vendors last week. Cannot wait to see the rest of the photos!

5. I’m in need of some cute fall booties...

  • My Fall Wardrobe Inspiration
  • Have you ever heard of Birdies shoes? Katie wore a pair in NYC and my eyes were immediately drawn to the stylish and comfy flats (she let me try them on). Ya’ll know I live in flats, so I promptly bought a pair last night with the promo code she gave me. I’ll let you know what I think of them!
  • Gorgeous flowers
  • We’re heading to Rehoboth Beach in Delaware for the upcoming long weekend. We have never been here before, but it’s always a local beach trip I’ve wanted to take. If you have any restaurant or kid-friendly activity suggestions, please leave them in the comments!
  • I’m still holding out hope for my Nats to advance tomorrow night. We can do it! #stayinthefight

How Do You Ring in Fall?

Happy First Day of Fall! Can you believe it – it’s officially fall now. This is my favorite season so I plan to enjoy it before it quickly becomes winter in a couple of months. 🙂

While I can’t wait to do the typical fall things like bust out my boots and scarves, grab a pumpkin spiced latte, or hit up a pumpkin patch with my family, there is one thing I do every year that officially gets me into the fall mood. I watch You’ve Got Mail.
