TGIF (can i get an AMEN!?!?) Wanted to stop by here and share a few of my current faves on this beautiful fall Friday!

1. 31 Days to a No Brainer Wardrobe

My friend Hayley is doing an awesome series on building a no-brainer wardrobe. Considering my closet is a nightmare right now-- this couldn't come at a better time! I find myself wearing mostly the same pieces yet my closet is overflowing (even though i try to weed out). I'm already loving how her series has helped me identify "my style". (by the way, the Nester is hosting the 31 Days series-- basically a post every day in October-- click here to see other awesome series and topics. i love finding new blogs!)

2. The Container Store



Tomorrow the new Indianapolis Container Store will officially open... and guess who got to go to the "preview" party last night? ME!!

They had valet, a band, food, and wine---I love that store! (even though i am sure the Container Store peeps would go fetal if they saw my scrap room -- or closet.)

3. C25K Program

A few weeks ago i downloaded the Couch to 5K running program- and i LOVE it. I have been keeping up (for the most part) and i am on week 4. Running is a great time for me to "recharge" and clear my head. This program has really encouraged me in building up my endurance-- before i would try to go running and would get really frustrated that i would have to stop after a few minutes of running-- well duh, i wasn't building endurance!!!

4. Fall Recipes

I made this butternut squash risotto last week--- it's AMAZING. here is the recipe by Cooking Light.(we added shredded chicken and used bacon instead of pancetta). Fall cooking is the best, isn't it???

5. Halloween Prep

We are prepping for our Halloween costumes here, and i'm super excited. I would love to say i am the mom who handmakes her childrens costumes.. but sadly i am not. we are going for an alice in wonderland theme this year. Jonah will be the Mad Hatter-- his costume came yesterday and it's HILARIOUS and quirky!!



And Jor? She will be Alice-- i think. Originally she was going to be the Queen of Hearts but then decided to be Alice.... then she was hesitant when she saw the costume.... so, we'll see. She sure has lots of opinions though. :)



Have a lovely weekend!!
