Hi hi! Happy Monday! Thank you so much to those of you who let me know you were missing the old school blogging recaps, so I\u2019m bringing them back. It won\u2019t be every day, but will definitely be scattered more frequently on the blog. Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with me. It\u2019s my goal to create a blog that you want to read (that I also enjoy writing). I always appreciate your perspective, and take your thoughts and comments to heart.<\/p>\n

It was a packed and fun-filled weekend around here. Friday afternoon, I met up with some friends to get everything ready for our school auction, and headed straight from that to a meeting with the dance moms to plan out Trunk or Treat. We have a lot to look forward to this month!<\/a><\/p>\n

(I saw this tree at Hobby Lobby and didn\u2019t end up buying it because it\u2019s huge and tacky, but also SO perfect.)<\/p>\n

We had Greek bowls for dinner, which is one of our frequent staples.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s grilled chicken, rice, hummus, cucumbers, olives, grape leaves, salad, and tzatziki bread. I totally forgot to add falafel to this meal, which takes it over the top. (I just air fry the frozen falafel from Whole Foods or Trader Joe\u2019s.) The kids always go wild for this one – they like crafting their own bowls- so I cling tightly to the recipes they genuinely love. (They\u2019re not picky, but are definitely vocal about which meals they like more than others.)<\/p>\n

Saturday morning, we cheered for P at her soccer game, dropped Liv at dance, and I headed back to the auction venue to help set up decorations and last-minute to-dos. I look forward to our school\u2019s auction each year, especially because our community is truly amazing. The kids SO lovely and kind, their families are incredible, and the teachers are the best of the best.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been able to make friends through our school that have become like family, and I feel blessed that after some school hunting, we\u2019ve certainly found the right spot. (We switched schools two months before the world shut down, so we didn\u2019t get to have a true experience until last year!)<\/p>\n

Auction attire:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

(Dress is here<\/a> and world to the world: SIZE UP. I didn\u2019t read reviews as carefully as I should have and welp, it was a little painful to breathe.)<\/a><\/p>\n

Sunday morning, we were all moving slowly, so we took it easy. I made cinnamon rolls with chicken sausage and eggs for breakfast and I filmed some workout tutorials for a 1:1 client.<\/p>\n

We also took a little trip to Spirit Halloween and brought all of our decorations out of storage. I\u2019ll share a pic of the finished product in Friday Faves. The older the more I\u2019m leaning into \u201ccute Halloween\u201d vs. \u201cscary\/gory Halloween.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

We had family movie night with a themed\u00a0<\/em>cheese board (totally got the idea from this post!<\/a>) to go along with it.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

This week, I\u2019m really looking forward to a lil Sakara delivery, some podcast interviews, and planning the Pilot and P\u2019s birthday parties. I hope your morning is off to a great start and I\u2019ll see ya soon!<\/p>\n

Thank you for checking in on the blog today <3<\/p>\n

xoxo<\/p>\n
