coffee date.

happy monthly coffee date! and happy halloween! holy crap has october flown by.i think that in order to commemorate the holiday, we have to go basic or go home. that's right. pumpkin spice latte, get in my belly. i'll take just a half shot of the pumpkin spice, because i'm going to be eating all the skittles later this evening and i have to at least pretend i care about my sugar intake. i'm not really a big halloween person, but the candy i am into in a big way. i think you should probably have a pumpkin spice latte with me. let's be basic together.do you guys want to know what amelia's going to be for halloween? then you should probably follow along on snapchat (hooleywithaz) and instagram (erinhzauner) because there are going to be pictures galore. we're actually doing a family costume this year, because it was just too perfect to NOT do a family costume. i mean, we'll only trick or treat at two houses, but it'll be worth it.i have been loving this whole "back to blogging" thing i've got going lately. i've been lucky enough to get connected and reconnected with some fabulous people, like casey at an auspicious adventure and whitney at southern hope. what rock was i hiding under that i had never read these wonderful ladies before? i don't know. but either way, their hearts are so refreshing and they have been a real perk of jumping into this feet first again. who are some of your favorite reads lately? anyone i should check out?since we chatted last, i have been totally spoiled with Mister Man's lack of work travel. he's been home most of the month, and i LOVE IT. alas, that schedule can never last, but it was good while it happened. there is something about knowing that at the end of a long day with A, or when i get home from work, i have some help and can just get a breather. yesterday i felt the tips of baby girl's molars popping through and so i am going to need all the breathers i can get until those babies come in. real talk: there is nothing more terrifying than a teething baby.with my latest push to be more thoughtful in my day to day life, i've been finding that i want to be thoughtful in more ways than what i previously was focused on. i've been putting more thought into how i get dressed everyday; i'm trying to be more mindful about my time spent at home; and i'm being as intentional as i can with the type of products i use. i want to make sure that everything around me is something that makes me happy, even down to the smallest things. like these adorable tacks and binder clips. are you kidding me? next up on my list: revamping my skin care routine. stay tuned, i know you're all holding your breath for that update...i hope that you all have an amazing halloween weekend! don't forget to tag your weekend coffee date activities with #withloveandcoffee so i can see all your costumes and weekend fun!
