Five Things Friday

Yay for Friday! I’d like to give a big welcome if you are visiting me from Love, Joleen where I am guest blogging today and sharing my Mama + Mini fall picks. This week I’ve rounded up my favorite ceramic pieces. The thing I love about a beautiful plate is that they don’t necessarily need to be used for eating. I love mixing a variety of patterns and colors into a grouping on the wall to really emphasize that plates can be like a work of art. I have little bowls and plates randomly placed all over the house to hold wedding rings, trinkets, lip balms, etc. They are a great catch all that makes junk look not so junky.

3. Heart Serving Dish – $44
5. Nico Platter – $30

I hope everyone has a great weekend planned (Go Dirty Birds!)

Weekend Wrap Up

This weekend finally felt like fall here in Georgia. The weather on Saturday was phenomenal and Sunday was pretty good too. We took advantage of this and spent lots of time outside. We went to the park, had breakfast at one of our favorite cafes, celebrated at a birthday party, went to Ace Hardware where Henry met a new puppy, washed the car, started Halloween crafts, did some fall cleaning,  watched plenty of football and indulged in some pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!

If you follow me on Instagram (@chanelvanreenen) you have already seen a few of these, including my favorite one of Henry wandering around Target like a hobo 🙂

And That’s A Wrap!

This weekend we went to our last “one” year old birthday party for the summer. Henry has been to 9 birthday parties since May (and that doesn’t count the two we missed). This was our last one until November and it’s going to be a little sad not being able to celebrate every weekend and see our friends.  I have mentioned before how every theme has been different and how each one was unique and original. All the mommies have been so creative in planning every aspect and put so much hard work into all the details. It has been so inspiring! Below are pictures of the last three parties we went to. I love our mommy group and am so glad Henry has made so many friends. I really look forward to watching all the babies grow up and celebrating more birthdays. Bring on the toddler years!

Fall Bucket List

A girlfriend of mine and I were recently talking about all the things we wanted to do this fall. So what better way to put these ideas into action and make a Fall Bucket List! It’s no secret that fall is my favorite season and nearly everyone in Georgia is wishing for cooler weather. I love how Hobby Lobby, Target, Michael’s and even Kroger have busted out their fall/halloween decor (not to mention Land of Nod too). Below is my list of activities I would like to accomplish this season. I am a huge list maker and they are always more fun to make in photoshop with pretty fonts. Perhaps this list will get competed since it’s more enjoyable to look at. By the way, any Georgia people feel how amazing it is outside today? This weather reminds me of San Francisco and is absolutely perfect. I hope everyone has a chance to get outside and do some fun things without sweating your asses off!

Five Things Friday

I may be a little late to this ballgame, but I am in love with Brika. Have you heard of this site? They feature all authentic crafted items and a lot of exclusive pieces. They have the most adorable and unique finds and gifts, perfect for any occasion and price range. I know that Five Things Friday used to be sole Etsy finds but I feel like it’s time to broaden my picks. While I still love Etsy, I am finding a lot of people moving to StoreEnvy and getting their own websites. I notice that Brika sells a lot of hand made jewelry which I have yet to see anywhere else and also really cute baby items. Another plus is that all the makers of these goods are in the US and own their own small business. Check them out here. I think my favorite item is is the “Work Like a Captain” tee which seems super soft. I hope everyone has a great weekend! PS: Happy Friday the 13th! Our night will most likely be filled with scary movies and popcorn thanks to my husbands love of horror films. ugh.

Halloween Favorites

I know some of you may think it’s a little early to be talking about Halloween. But not me. I start thinking of costumes and fall time when September hits (and actually, Henry’s costume was decided on in August). I have always been a fan of holidays but now that we have a baby toddler, he makes holiday’s that much better. It’s so exciting to experience all the traditions again and start new ones. Even better are the adorable clothes for him to wear. Surprisingly I have seen a ton of cute boy Halloween clothes and not as much girl stuff and usually it’s the other way around. Team blue on this one! PS: Is it Friday yet? Henry has been skipping his morning nap for the past few weeks and started throwing tantrums. Yes, my 14 1/2 month old is throwing tantrums. More on that later. I hope everyone has a great start to your weekend! xo
