It’s Labor Day weekend, the last weekend before school starts here, and I’ve got outdoor dreams. Today we’re going to drive to a state park and run around outside before the school-snatcher comes knocking. What are you doing?
Some weekend reading…
I have a bodysuit like this from H&M that I get questions on sometimes, and I found this one that’s super similar. Prettiest back. This one just has long sleeves. (You can sort of see mine here.) Sometimes, oddly, a body suit is just right.
This is such an interesting (and interactive) piece on curbing climate change. Take the quizzes and tell me how you did. (I was shocked by what is the number one way to curb climate change–scroll to the very bottom to see.)
Planning on following the foliage this fall? (Alliteration goals.) These trackers are always fun to me.
Looking forward to swapping out my planters for something like this. Loving the mums + ivy combination.
Did you guys see this new take on zucchini? Looks absolutely delicious.
I’ve had several baby gifts to buy recently and I keep going to this shop.
I’ve got the dough for these in the fridge, and this whole pan-banging technique is interesting to me. We shall see!
Have any of you used a shampoo bar? I need to knowwwww if they work! I love the lack of packaging.
We’re finally going to have a proper guest room in this house (at least, while we’re still family-bedding it) and ever since this post, I’ve got these deep jewel tones on the brain. Get out the paint brush.
This is a fantastic price on a great pair of jeans!
J.Crew is having a big sale with the code SUNSET and this hat is perfect. I wear mine constantly.
Have a good long weekend!
Sounds like you have an exciting weekend up ahead! Me, I’m just going to relax at home! ā¤ļøāØ

Would love a fall clothes/shoes roundup! Mules and clogs still a thing? Booties?
patty, i love blog post ideas! keep them coming! quick answer: i think YES. check out the mules that go with the jeans link i just sent. adorable!
I bombed on that climate change quiz. Like 26% š Yikes! This was so eye opening. I learned a lot especially regarding food. I just cringe when I think about how much food we let go to waste in our house. No more half-eaten bananas and pears with one bite out of them, kids!!
Yes! To the shampoo bars: Iām a huge fan. I swapped a year ago to using Lush shampoo bars (I wrote about it amongst some other chat here: https://themumandthemom.com/2018/11/26/life-around-here-16/ ) …I am a year in and still no closer to finding a solid conditioner bar that works for me, but that might be something to do with decades of bleaching and needing industrial strength conditioner š
I’ve used the lush shampoo bars as well! I just bought my second one recently and asked for an ingredient list on my way out the door. Was bummed to see that it does list fragrance, but aside from that, the ingredients are good. As a beautycounter consultant I do understand the need to avoid fragrance, but man, sometimes it’s hard!
It sure is!!!
