Weekly Recap + Reads!

Last weekend picking apples with my girl! 

I’ve decided to change up my Friday posts a bit and give a little glimpse into our week, how Piper’s doing, fun things I’ve read and more!

My week in review:

It was productive week without being too crazy, despite my marathon shoot on Tuesday. I’m on a new shooting schedule where I (attempt) to shoot all my content, sponsored posts and anything for Glitter Guide once a month. It’s a much more effective use of my time but it’s crazy to prepare for everything at once. Now I’m working on holiday and it’s not even Halloween!

I’m also getting closer and closer to having our living and dining room space ready to shoot! Hopefully they will be up in the next few weeks and I can’t wait to share.

Piper had a great week in school – she seems to be less cranky when I bring her home which is always helpful when trying to make dinner :) We have another jam packed weekend of fun ahead and I’m really excited!

We played hooky yesterday morning and took Piper to the pumpkin patch we visit every year and our friends joined us this time – we had so much fun with the girls! A few pictures below — and one of Piper and I at the apple orchard last weekend :)

I got so many questions about Piper’s coat – I picked it up at Old Navy this week in-store after realizing she had no fall coats and they were calling for a cooler forecast (finally)! We sized up to a 3T.

These brownies sound delicious and they are made on a sheet pan!

As a blogger who makes a large percent of my family income off of this site and my Instagram I found this article on Influencer partnerships super intriguing!

I also read this article in Allure last weekend about Mormon bloggers — and again found it so interesting.

I think I’m going to attempt to make these Halloween Surprise Balls for Piper and a few of her friends!

This To-Do-List Strategy will save your life — I’m trying it starting on Monday!

What’s in my shopping carts:

A few things I’m considering pulling the trigger on….

This cozy robe just looks so comfortable to lounge in with a newborn as does this velvet sleep cami.

I don’t have any sweater dresses and I think this  non-maternity one would possibly fit my bump and be comfortable in the last months of pregnancy.

And… I haven’t bought a new purse all year and I really, really want this one. I may have asked Austin for it as a push present (wishful thinking)!
