Halloween: Mary Poppins and Bert


Rather than attending a Halloween party this year, we attended a super important wedding...Erik's sister got married on Saturday!  And so we didn't do any costumes this year, but last year was one of my all-time favorites... Mary Poppins and chimney sweep Bert.  It couldn't have been easier--we already owned all of the items that we used, with the exception of some black face paint for Erik.  Other than that, it was warm and comfy, yet easily recognizable, which is something that I consider to be important in any costume choice.

Happy Halloween, everyone!

Punkin' Pickin'


Last week, one of my 1st graders was constantly talking about how excited he was to do some "punkin' pickin."  I guess I couldn't get that out of my head, because I had a major itch to pick some pumpkins as well!  With a bit of sunshine and warmth in the air, we hopped onto our (super amazing) new Genuine Buddy, and found a great little place in our area.  

One little pumpkin, too many nachos, and some alpaca-petting later, we rode home with the wind in our faces.  A perfect Sunday...

A Warm Autumn Work Day


 On the best Autumn days, it's crisp and sunny, and we've been fortunate to have several of those days this past week.   I pulled this look together last Wednesday for work with a few things in mind: an important meeting, lots of walking, and it was fairly warm outside.  I'm thrilled with the simplicity of this outfit, but love that it feels so "me."

Scooting Around



Over the weekend, Erik and I scooted around town (yes, we got a scooter!!!) and had a blast.  Our errands included a trip to his new office to drop off some books and do a little decorating.  He started working at a new firm at the beginning of September.... and although he didn't move into a new building in Philly, he moved up a few floors and has some fantastic views.

By the way, this outfit is one of my favorites in a long time... which means, I wore it all. weekend. long.
