Hello Sweet friends, happy Sunday! Did you miss me yesterday?

Here’s what’s happening off the web:

• I spoke at Sewing Summit this weekend. I want to tell you it went great, but I’m sitting here writing and my class isn’t for another hour so I’ll be sure to update you next week.
• Kyle, being the amazing man that he is held down the fort and even took the kids hiking yesterday with a group of dads and their kids. 6 dads, 9 kids = well, let’s just say I’d be stressed out.
• Katelyn makes the official move to TK next week. We’re praying for a smooth transition for us all
• While I love to travel, being with Kyle at BlogHer this year made me wish he could come with me all the time.
• I think I want to do a little blogger get together at my house. Nothing big, just a fun evening of cocktails and laughs.

Here’s what happened on the blog this week:

• On Monday I talked about fall trends in black and white and pieces that would be fun to have in my wardrobe.
• Tuesday, my amazing beauty contributor, Natalia, shared a tutorial for a half up Dutch braid. If you haven’t pinned it yet, you’re going to want to!
• On Wednesday, I got together with my amazing sponsors and we hosted a giveaway. You can win a $45 Anthropologie gift card so be sure to go check it out!
• Thursday, I shared a quiet place I was in. Reflecting on some decisions we need to make for our family.
• On Friday, we had our coffee date. Have you linked up yet?
