Five on Friday - Finding Celebrations In a Crazy Week

The weekend is upon us, friends.  The weekend is upon us. 

I originally wanted to post on a different topic today, but once again, this week has kicked my butt and I just couldn’t muster the energy to gather everything I needed for my original idea.  I’m sure it will come to fruition in the near future, though, so just hang tight. 

Today I thought I’d share some favorites, because even though this week has been a bit crazy, there is always something to celebrate!

O N E – Cooler Temps

We awoke to temps in – not the 70’s – not the 60’s – but… in the 50’s!!!!  It was 59 degrees Thursday morning!!  I celebrated by wearing my first scarf of the season (never mind that the high was 82 so I had to wear it with a sleeveless shirt) and whipping up some hot chocolate for a mid-morning treat instead of my usual green tea with honey.  Words cannot even describe how happy I am that it’s not going to be 95 degrees today!



T W O – Walks With My Lovies

Cooler temps also mean family walks around the neighb again!  SO much better than walking in a gym, and one of our favorite things to do when the weather is nice.



T H R E E – Somebody is Feeling Better

My girl is back to normal, thank goodness!  It hurts my heart to see my babies sick, so I’m glad to have her back to her old cheerful, mischievous self!  Not to mention it’s so hard not being able to kiss on her when she’s sick… I’ll be making up for lost time this weekend.  :o)  Sweet girl.



F O U R – Plaid Skirts are Making a Comeback

Y’all.  So I’m in Old Navy the other day, picking up a gift for a friend, and what do I see before my very eyes?  The cutest black and white plaid flared skirt, a la Cher Horowitz circa 1995.  You can bet I’ll be participating in that trend again!  And I will also be watching Clueless sometime in the near future.  It’s been far too long since I’ve seen it… and Brian never has.  #AsIf




F I V E – More Finds at Old Navy

Can we please just talk about how Old Navy is on fire with the fall fashion this year?!  I mean, I always love them, but I literally want to buy every single thing in the store right now.  (I won’t, though, B.) 

And ladies, remember those perfect plaid shirt dresses from Target that I posted about a few weeks ago?  Well, Old Navy has them, too, and their color combos might just be my favorite.  How gorgeous is it in black and white?  (Links to all pieces are below.)








I seriously need to just rebrand myself as a fashion blog and call it a day.  I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I received free clothes.  Haha.  Why do I love clothes so much?!

Happy weekend, ladies!  Make it one that you won’t forget!

    1. I totally could, too! It's been one of my favorite stores since I was 19! And I probably would have loved it even sooner, but we didn't have one in our city until then! We used to take road trips to Atlanta just to go there. Haha.

  11. Praise Jesus for the weekend! It’s been one heck of a week. My co-worker has been out on vacation so I had to cover for two. Her clients are a pain in the you know what. Anyhow, wahoo for the weekend. We are getting cooler temps in the morning and evenings and I have been soaking up every single second. Your kiddos look adorable on their bikes. So glad your sweet girl is feeling better. Happy Friday sweet girl!

  14. Love your Old Navy finds. I was there last weekend and I wanted to buy it all. Instead I got nothing and only splurged on my girls. Such is the life. I may have to scoop some stuff up online though. So glad Olivia is feeling better. And yay for crisp fall mornings. They are the best. I wore my wedges today since rain is coming soon!

  21. Oh man I REALLY want a swing dress but I can't find one long enough and the only tall ones they carry online suck. Damn these legs :P. We had cool temps all week but were back in tank tops today. I hope you get a few more days of cool weather. Happy weekend!
