Notes From the Nest

I have to say, normal and boring are underrated! Anyone else out there who is thankful when they have just a regular week?! However, the content I enjoyed sharing this week is definitely not boring, in my opinion, anyway! I had a lot of fun sharing with you so let’s recap the week together!

I hope you enjoy the Notes From Our Nest this week!

Around Our Nest:

We’ve had such pretty weather this week with breezy days and I am so thankful! Even though it isn’t the amazing “fall” that our northern friends have, we are so thankful when we get out of the 90s on a regular basis!
I may or may not have got the Christmas bins out of the attic to start organizing this week!
It is seriously hard to believe that October is almost over. It’s been a really unusual and crazy month around here and it has flown by!
My class at school had our field trip to the pumpkin patch this week. It was adorable and fun and exhausting! Haha!
It finally felt like a real fall weekend at home. We’ve enjoyed some shopping, grabbing treats, stocking up the pantry, and of course, some decorating! I took full advantage of my willing and excited “team” at home to help with some Christmas prep!
And last but not least, our two younger kids hosted a car wash party for a fund raiser at their school. Lots of water was used!

Around the ‘Gram This Week:

A little quieter week on Instagram because it was a busier week on the blog! What can I say?! I’m a mom and full-time teacher. I usually have to focus on one or the other!
However, I loved sharing what I could on IG this week! On THIS post, I shared how I used the free printables from my blog post to create a Thanksgiving tablescape. That tablecloth is my latest obsession, by the way, and I’m leaving it out for Christmas too!

Around the Blog This Week:

As always, Friday Favorites are super fun! This week was all about hostess gift ideas and there are some really, really good ones all linked up for you. I had fun coming up with some budget-friendly ways to put together the cutest hostess gifts!
