There's something about becoming age 5 that is a sweet farewell to the toddler years. We celebrated the birthday boy with a Super Mario themed party at home with the most rare sunny + 60 degree November day. To Jack his birthday party is the highlight of his year. I'm sure that's true for most kiddos, but Jack loves to plan his party details far in advance. I wonder where he gets that from? ;)
Per a newer tradition we did our Q&A for Jack's birthday interview! I love recording these as voice memos to hear how his little voice will grow as he does.

You know that saying "the early bird gets the worm"? Well, I'm the bird this year. All these swirling rumors/possible truths of shipping delays and stock shortages have got me on alert to act now versus waiting till we get closer to the holiday season.
My eye has been drawn to simplicity. Think greenery, cozy throw blankets, festive pillows and bedding, twinkle lights and the smell of pine. A home that is inviting and full of 'comfy, cozy are we' vibes.
Here's what I've got my eye on and some inspiration I'm drooling over.
The weather has got me feeling like there's more to squeeze out of fall, but once we hostJack's birthday party I'm going into Mrs. Claus mode. Fa la la la la ;)
