Friday Favorites: A Beautiful Fall Week

We had a wonderful week.  With our weather feeling a bit more fall-like we have been making every effort to get outside and enjoy it.  We went on lots of hikes this week! 




Friday was just beautiful and Evan and I took advantage of the weather to go for a hike.  







I am loving this new pumpkin spice granola! It has been a delicious way to add some flavor to my yogurt parfait breakfasts.



Speaking of foods-- these Java chip Oreos are just dangerously good!  The boys had been asking for some snacks and we picked up a couple of packages of Oreos but these were my favorite.    



I had the house to myself all afternoon on Saturday while the boys and my husband went to the movies.  I love having that peace and quiet every now and then.  I spent most of my time reading on the deck.




My husband and I had a wonderful afternoon out of the RZR Sunday.  It was beautiful out and stopped alongside a pretty pond for a snack.





It was a bit muddy




It was another beautiful day on Monday so Evan and I headed out on a hike as soon as his schoolwork was done.  It was wonderful aside from all the mosquitoes that ate us alive!




We woke to a thunderstorm and some heavy rains on Thursday but it cleared enough that by late morning Evan and I decided to walk to the state park and do some hiking.  






We've had some incredibly beautiful sunrises over the lake this week! 











I got a new Stitch Fix box in this week and ended up keeping the whole thing! That has only ever happened one other time but I am loving these new lighter colored jeans.  I have been wearing dark jeans for so long that I forgot how fun the lighter washes can be. 

I also love the little button details of the sweater near the wrists; so cute!


I haven't painted my nails in what feels like forever.  I jumped on the Colorstreet bandwagon pretty quickly and have been using them for months but this week I got the urge to actually paint my nails.  I forgot how much fun that can be... they're just plain gray right now but I have plans to add a few nail stickers to them before the weekend.

  4. I saw those Oreos at the store the other day and I wanted to get them so bad, but nobody else in my fam likes coffee flavored stuff. I knew that meant I'd have to eat the whole bag so I just left them on the shelf. Now you have me rethinking my decision. Haha.

    1. My oldest son LOVES coffee flavored things so I hoped he'd eat most of them.

    1. Thank you! I keep hoping it will get JUST cold enough to get rid of the mosquitoes but not too cold to hike.

  15. It's good to see you getting out and enjoying your fall! You kept the whole Stitch Fix box? Wow!

    1. Yep, there was one top I didn't really love but it was cheaper to keep it and get the whole box discount than ship it back!
