Five on Friday

Happy Friday! Today I'm trying out a new feature called Five on Friday. It's something a lot of bloggers do, and it helps my brain focus since I'm normally all over the place! I can only write about 5 things...so this is good for me! I linked up with the other ladies at the bottom of my page so make sure to check their blogs out too!

Even though it doesn't feel like fall here (does it anywhere?!?!), it's fall in my heart. Ha. I've been burning the heck out of this candle from none other than Tar-jay. I've been buying these for the past three years, and the smell is just perfection. I look forward to seeing them in our store each fall and was so happy to snag a few last week! Any other fall scents I need to check out?

Lily finally lost her second tooth up top, and I can't get over how old she looks! That tooth was hanging on by a thread, and she would not let me touch it. Seriously, it was dangling to the point that she could hardly eat! I thought that maybe if she'd let me floss her teeth I could kind of wiggle it out that way without her knowing exactly what I was doing. And, voila. Worked like a charm. The tooth popped out after only a few seconds of flossing. She was so happy for a tooth fairy visit later that night!

Hadley turns 4 next week, and it's almost too much for my heart to take! We're not planning a big party, but I'll send her favorite snacks to school that day (along with fun party plates and hats), and she wants to go to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and games. So that's our plan. And we'll open presents after dinner. Just look at this sweet baby four years ago. Where does the time go?

I found a new nail color (new to me, at least) that I'm loving. It's a deep mauve, and it's just perfect for fall. I've been wearing it on my nails and toes!

I love this article about the benefits of practicing gratitude. For one week, the author found five things for which she was grateful and wrote them down. And the act of doing so completely changed her perspective and, ultimately, her life. She asserts that, as humans, we are capable of training our brains to focus on the good. I do believe that.

I hope everyone has the best weekend! We have nothing big planned, although I do want to get some pumpkins for our front steps. Fingers crossed the weather cools off a bit so we can spend some time outside! See y'all back here on Monday!
