Fun Facts Friday {9/26}

By Courtney 54 Comments

1. Last night was a girls’ night out!

photo 3

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.

photo 1

The food wasn’t too shabby either…loads and loads of sushi, and fried bananas + fried ice cream for dessert.

photo 2

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…

dad

He is such a character, I’ll tell ya. Winking smile

5. I tried out the new pumpkin Chobani this week and I was impressed!

IMG_8164

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?

IMG_8179IMG_8180

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!

IMG_8209

Lucas got a pair of the classics in ash, which I think I’m the most obsessed over.

IMG_8213

I mean, really?

IMG_8212

And I got a pair of funky designed classics.

IMG_8211

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.

IMG_8164

And discussing the plays.

IMG_8166

I just love them. Smile

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!

    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!

    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.

    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!

    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.. :)

    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! :-)

    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

    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.
