read - Finally a book about one of my favorite subjects…RATTAN! No but seriously, I’m so excited about this coffee table book. Just pre-ordered it for next month! Speaking of rattan, how perfect is this simple rattan mirror? Love it for powder room layered over an intricate wallpaper!

pj’s - Duck, Duck, Woody! Obsessed with these pj’s for the boys (and girls) featuring everyone’s favorite classic wagon. How perfect are they for Fall? They also come in adult sizes.

make - Major crowd pleaser recipe for you today: zucchini parmesan chicken meatballs with lemon pasta carbonara. YUM! I would double the meatball recipe and freeze half for a later date. Dairy free? Sub the parmesan for a DF alternative like this one from Follow Your Heart (it’s the best).

headband - A simple black velvet headband that doesn’t give you a headache! Calling Gala is a female-founded small business that I was introduced to last Spring. Love this under $40 style.

transitional style - I found this jacket through blogger Jacey Duprie and love it for this in-between season. I’ll be walking Luke to school rain or shine this year and it’s perfect for grab and go. Love the color and the price!
