1. Last night was a girls’ night out!
Some of our Book Club crew got together to celebrate my friend Christina’s birthday (you know, the super talented one). We all went out for a sushi dinner, and it was just such a great time.
The food wasn’t too shabby either…loads and loads of sushi, and fried bananas + fried ice cream for dessert.
Yum x10,000.
2. Baby bed head. It’s a real thing.
And it never gets old.
3. Last week I shared a BuzzFeed video that I fell in love with, and then reader Kathryn informed me that there was another one about Weird Things Couples Do on Date Night. Ohhhh myyyy godddd, it fit us to a T! I swear, this couple is secretly watching us over here or something.
4. Remember how I told you guys last week that my dad has been commenting on the blog these days? Well, in case you missed this one, I just had to share…
He is such a character, I’ll tell ya.
5. I tried out the new pumpkin Chobani this week and I was impressed!
It was really good (and I also really love the 2% flavors), but I’m not sure if I’d prefer to buy the pumpkin one or just buy plain and mix in my own pumpkin and spices. I think flavor-wise, I choose my own mix. But convenience + time would go to the pre-made pumpkin. Anyone else try it yet?
6. I know I’ve mentioned post-partum hair loss in the past, but have you guys noticed all of my new hairs lately?
You’d think I just did a really bad job of chopping some bangs, but no. Those are all new hairs growing back. It’s crazy.
7. Jay and I have another double date night planned tonight with our friends Joe and Kate! We’re so excited, because it’s been sooooo long since we last did the date night out thing, sans babies. Should be a good time!
8. Lucas and I finally got our new TOMS yesterday, and the verdict? Love them BOTH!
Lucas got a pair of the classics in ash, which I think I’m the most obsessed over.
I mean, really?
And I got a pair of funky designed classics.
Those particular ones aren’t on their website, but I’m still totally eyeballing these. This could be a dangerous new thing.
9. And speaking of new shoes (and spending more money than I should be on them) I wound up buying these Kaylor Slouchy boots and these suede Strappy Boots from Target yesterday. All (or maybe most?) are buy one, get one 50% off right now, FYI!
10. These two…already watching football together.
And discussing the plays.
I just love them.
Okay guys, that’s all I’ve got for ya today! What’s good for the weekend?! Anyone doing anything fun or “fall-ish?” (I know you love that, Dad!). Whatever it is that you’re doing, have a blast, and I’ll catch ya on Monday!
OMG baby TOMS have to be the cutest things ever!!!! Also, your dad commenting is hilarious…kind of reminds me of my mom commenting on all my Facebook posts…hehe :)
Love the Toms! Cutest baby shoes ever!
Its a wedding weekend for me!!!! Ready to celebrate one of my best friends getting married!!! :)
I’ve never even tried on a pair of Toms. I feel like such a loser. Bring yours to PA? ;)
And that football picture is too cute!
Love those boots from Target! Saw they were BOGO 50% off when I was in a few days ago but didn’t have time to try any on. Will hopefully get back there this weekend!
Your dad is precious!! Too, too funny! love it
i need a girls night out!! that sushi and fried bananas looks aaaaaamazing!! we went apple picking yesterday – that’s about as fallish as i’ve gotten so far :)
Girls nights are the best, aren’t they? Sometimes it’s just so nice to go out with the girls without any worries and visit, laugh and of course gossip lol. ;)
Oh so glad you love the TOMS! This really makes me want to order myself a pair soon! Did you order your normal shoe size? Just wondering if they are true-to-size or if you had to size up/down …
And, coincidentally, I’m planning a trip to Target myself after work today so I guess I’ll have to stop into the shoe department and browse around. I’ve been looking for some nice “fall-ish” ;) shoes for a while now, and Target just might be the place to find them! I always find something I like in there.
As far as my weekend plans go, I’ll be heading out to the Syracuse fairgrounds to run the Inflatable 5k with a friend on Saturday. I mean, c’mon … who doesn’t want to run a 5k with bouncy-house obstacles?!
Have a great date night tonight, and a wonderful weekend Courtney!
Have fun at the Inflatable 5k! They look super fun! :)
HAH! That date night video. Perfecto. Especially the end. “What are you, a muppet?” Oh man. A couple that laughs together stays together :) OH and we are going to the pumpkin patch this weekend! I am excited! Little one will get to pick out her own pumpkin. I’m sure she’ll call it a ‘ball’. Anything round is a ‘ball’. Last night, a lime was a ball. We’ve got some work to do :)
I was completely sucked into the BOGO 50% off at Target. Such a great deal!!
This weekend is all about the orchard for me. I love going and picking out our pumpkin and grabbing fresh donuts and cider.
donuts and cider are basically my main reason for ever wanting to go in the first place ;)
I so wish I could fit into Toms, but my feet are too wide. We are taking our kids to a pumpkin patch this weekend.
I also tried the new Chobani Pumpkin Spice and completely agree that although it is very good, I rather do my own creative mix! However, it may be tasty for making a quick overnight oats with!
Ooooo, good call!!
I wasn’t a huge fan of the pumpkin greek yogurt, but my mom was. It was too tangy for me. I like my pumpkin spice a bit sweeter. Maybe if I mixed in some honey it would’ve been better.
I felt the same way about Chobani! I was super impressed at the flavor but I definitely thought to myself, I can easily make this! All that is added is pumpkin puree & pumpkin spice. I did love the convenience of it though.. :)
Oh my goodness, that second pair of boots?! LOVE THEM! Seriously! Now I have to hope my local Target will have them.
Good luck! :)
LOVE LOVE LOVE the new TOMS!! I’m such a TOMS fan. Plus I feel so much better buying and knowing they give back! :)
I totally agree! Added bonus :)
A friend and I (and our babies) are running the Pirate 5k. So we get to dress up like Pirates and say things like “Thar she bloooows!”. So fun. :)
Love the booties from Target… I may have to check those out!
OMG that sounds hilarious! Have a blast!!
Mmmm…sushi and fried bananas…yes please!!! And those TOMS look amazing and super comfortable. I think I need to look into those!
I’m really loving the Chobani Pumpkin Spice! I think they’re really good!
That video is hilarious!! I can’t even begin to tell you what a pet peeve it is of mine when my husband waits until I am completely ready with handbag, coat, shoes and purse to get dressed/put on shoes/etc. I’m always standing there overheating waiting for him. It drives me nuts!
Oh my gosh, your boys are so cute together! Ha, loved those pictures. :)
Awww!! Those baby toms are too cute. Hope you have a great weekend!
Thanks Kristin, you too!
lol your dad! i love it!
Awww, buddies on the couch, too cute! My hair is growing in too (thank goodness), but it makes my ponytails looks ridiculous. I always have to wear bobby pins now when I go for a run or something.
LOL I hear ya, sister!
There’s the Colour run happening in London this weekend and I’m so excited to do it, that’s one race that I’ve always wanted to do! I’m so happy it’s finally Friday, school just seemed to drag forever this week! Those Toms are really cute but the ones Lucas have, are SO adorable!! Shoes just look 10x times cuter on babies/toddlers!!
Awww that sounds like a great time! Have lots of fun ;)
HAHa aw football together is too cute!!! I LOVE that sushi spread-holy moly!
Lucas’s shoes are the cutest things ever! I have to get my little guy a pair of those!
Yes, you definitely do!! They’re so adorable :)
Your Dad’s post: awesome! Sounds like you have fun parents :) Have a wonderful weekend. I’m not doing anything seasonal, but I’ll be sure to have some good food and wine.
Those baby Toms are the cutest thing ever! I think you need to get Jay a pair of Toms next ;)
Bahaha, I know, right?!
Have I mentioned just how much I LOVE your blog?! Does that sound weird?? If so, I mean that in the LEAST creepy way possible! Lol. Yes to #6 – I feel like I’m going through the same thing…even my hair stylist noticed yesterday! And wow, I’m not really a fan of Toms – I prefer heels (I know, I know but gotta be honest) – but the ones you’re eyeballing have me seriously reconsidering! Love them, and the baby ones for Lucas! Yay for your girls night out & upcoming date night! Enjoy! I am seriously overdo for BOTH, but I may get a girls’ “day out” next wknd (yay!) and a date night in with the hubby tonight! Love your blog! Keep doing what you’re doing! :-)
Awww, that’s so sweet of you! Thank you, Koryn! Have a great weekend :)
I haven’t tried the Chobani pumpkin, but I picked up the Oikos pumpkin pie flavor and it was pretty darn good!! I’m a fan.
So glad you’re loving your TOMS! I knew you’d love ’em. I love those strappy boots you picked up from Tarjay! I was eyeing a bunch of the shoes the other day trying to decide if I should take advantage of that sale going on, but I know I’d get a total eye roll from Cody after bringing them home since I already have wayyyyy too many shoes. ;)
We’re going up north this weekend for my great grandma’s Memorial Service. Should be nice to get away for a night! Have a great weekend! xo
Yes, thank you so much for helping convince me I needed them. Loooove em! :)
Cute new shoes! Love that print. Happy Friday!
We are going out tonight to celebrate my dad’s birthday. Yum, that sushi looks so good. Might have to get some this weeekend. It’s been so long since I last had it.
Aww, that sounds fun!! Enjoy!
Why are those TOMS soooo adorable on his lil’ feet…?! You’re really tempting me to get some for Selah now. :D And how awesome you got to see your girlfriends–nothing as refreshing as that when you’re a mommy.
Oh my god, you MUST! They’re too cute to pass up :)
I just had sushi on Monday, but now I want it again! And baby TOMS are adorable…I used to think that baby converse were the cutest things for little feet, but the TOMS might top that!
I don’t remember if Tom’s does or doesn’t come in half sizes. I ordered a pair of Bob’s online once (I guess it’s a rip off brand? They look the same) and got a 9 because they didn’t have 8.5 – they were massive on me. I had them sent to Canada for some reason to my parents house. My Mom’s friend got a new pair of shoes at least.
Hahaha at your Dad’s comment! My parents comment on my blog sometimes, it’s super funny. They try and be all secretive with different names. I have NO IDEA why! Lol.
Shut up you and Lucas have THE cutest TOMS, and they are so freakin’ adorable on toddlers!! Your Dad is the cutest! My Dad is scared to read my blog in fear of what he’ll find. Hope you have a fab weekend! :)
Baby toms are so cute- I need to get my little girl a pair! I know what you mean about post-partum hair loss
I have so many little hairs and after a sweaty workout they stick up all over the place and I look like I got electrocuted!
I love that you love sushi!!! Have you ever tried unami (sea urchin) or unagi (eel)? They’re awesome!
Correctin my girl Furonda here – uni is sea urchin. BTW HAY COURT IT’S LATORCHA! WE MET IN ANAHEIM HURH HURH HURH!
