It’s been forever since we’ve done a weekend roundup! I’m headed on a girls backpacking trip to New Mexico in a few days so I’m scrambling getting everything ready (and trying to convince the kids to solidify their Halloween costume ideas). What are you up to? Here are a few links to explore…
Weekend Roundup
A Few Favorite Things
My favorite way to decorate family portraits this time of year (image above)
What age do you let kids walk home from school? An interesting discussion around post-school independence
Speaking of school, we always make adjustments a month in. If you’re in need of the best bento box for lunches, this one we’ve been using for a couple years and it’s fantastic
Beauty finds! My very favorite concealer and this stuff is the BEST for covering up pores
This DIY gold loop magazine holder is so good looking
This gorgeous rug I’ve been eyeing for the girls room is just back in stock
Adding to my recipe list this week: fresh corn chowder
JCrew is offering 50% off sale items (I’d pick this bra (only $7!), or this skirt). Anthropologie is offering 40% off sale (I’d pick this rug)
Will you see the new Joker movie? I’m not sure
The quintessential fall coat (and 30% off too)
This sausage kale dinner tart sounds so good
OMG I love these socks
A really creepy (but fun) Halloween podcast for teens called The Creeping Hour
This small wallet is the best (and so good looking)
Lastly, I got a ton of Netflix/Prime recommendations last week while Jared was away like Fleabag (YES), Unbelievable, Workin’ Moms (YES), and I’m Sorry. What are you watching these days?
Bento box.- go for Lunchbots metal bento boxes if you’re trying to avoid packaging kids’ food in plastic. We’ve used them for almost 5 years and they hold up really well, and the kids know how to open and shut them easily.
