Friday Favorites and Happenings

Happy Friday all! We are a little over a week out from Halloween. My girls are beyond excited to dress up, go to a Halloween party and go trick or treating. Today they have Fall Festival at their school and they are wearing an old costume. 

It is supposed to rain and be dreary all weekend. So we don't have much planned. Watch some football, make a fire each day and rest from the last few weeks. What are you doing this weekend?

My father-in-law is having back surgery today, so if you could say a little extra prayer for him today and the family, that would be amazing.

Onto Friday favorites and happenings.

ONE. I saw another blogger/IGer post these boots and then went and grabbed them for my girls. I try to get my girls a new pair of booties or boots each Fall/Winter. The ones I got last year came from Nordstrom Rack and they have finally bit the dust. They have holes in the soles. 

We went to a kids birthday party about a month ago and the birthday girl got some boots similar to the ones I just got my girls, but hers came from Target. These new ones are from H&M. And the girls wore them for the first time this week and love them. And basically have asked to wear them daily.

They have a warm lining in them, lace up, but also zip up.

TWO. I went to Target to get batteries for my smoke detectors (reminder stock up on them because it sucks when it beeps in the middle of the night and you don't have a 9 volt to replace it with) and while I was there, I checked out their boots, heels and mega sales on sandals.

I found a pair of nude suede-like heels that were perfect for my family photos. These shoes are comfy (I walked around a field in them), cute and I got them on sale. I paid about $16 with the sale and red card discount including tax. I ended up returning the Amazon nude heels since I found these.

I plan on wearing the shoes and my dress that I posted in the Family Photos Inspiration post to Rory's holiday party in December.

THREE. If you love dry shampoo and have been using Living Proof or want to try it, then you should head over to Nordstrom and buy the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day Dry Shampoo. Now I go back and forth between the original and the Advanced Clean Dry Shampoo. Basically if one is on sale or I can get a deal on one, then I buy that one. And this is a good deal. 

Normally the 4 oz is $26 and you get both of these for $35. So basically you get the second one for $9. So worth it. Living Proof dry shampoo is my absolute favorite dry shampoo.

FOUR. I am starting to work on Christmas Gift Guides. Since I started doing some Christmas shopping, I thought I would share what I am looking at and some past gifts that have been a huge hit. So what do you want to see first?

Here are some ideas for gift guides:

FIVE. Weekly funnies.







Have a great weekend. I am linking up with A Little Bit of Everything.
