Did this week just whiz by for you too? I feel like once we hit Halloween everything went into fifth gear and it was thursday before I knew it! Lord knows I'm not complaining though, very much looking forward to this weekend and getting back outdoors with the kiddos. They had so much fun camping that keeping them indoors at any point of the day has become a struggle. Thankfully the temperatures have been right around 60 degrees, aka perfect play weather. We're thinking of heading to the zoo but not sure of the crowds. I'm figuring most tourists should be gone by now but you never know. And speaking of the National Zoo what a blessing it is to be back in this city where all of these incredible activities and sights are free to all. It always killed me that in Atlanta it cost upwards of $75 for a family of four to go to the Fernbank.

Here are some things that caught my eye this week:

- This essay by the most incredible 10 year old made me tear up. Go girl(S)!!

- Here's that butternut squash mac & cheese I made on sunday. Unbelievably good! The squash makes it!

- This gif. All. Day. Long. 

- Obsessed with all the cuties on this pinterest page. Those cheeks!

- I'd love to jump into any of these. This cooler weather always makes me want to get cozy with a good book. 

- Adore Sara Blakely. Love this advice. Also loving her on Shark Tank this season!

- Picked up this book during our visit to the Natural History museum last week and the kids are loving it! It breaks down a fairly difficult concept so well for little ones. 

- This podcast episode was so timely for me. Gave me a lot to chew on all week. What an amazing woman!

- All the heart eyes!!!

- Gnomes. Need I say more? 

- What an inspiring pair!! I've been feeling stuck in a rut with my closet and this helped me feel free to experiment again and try new things. 

- Like a velvet tee from here. I'm probably way too old for this trend but heck I'm doing it anyway!

- Remind you of anything? I have to have one. 

Have a wonderful weekend my loves!!
