Thanksgiving Weekending


Happy Monday friends!! Even though we’re dealing with the dreaded 4 month sleep regression, we’ve had a pretty fabulous last few days, including Sophia’s first Thanksgiving – so let’s get right into picture overload! 



My sister and brother-in-law hosted a wonderful Thanksgiving! I was pretty proud to reel it in and not over stuff myself! I also had my first sips of wine in A YEAR! We found out we were expecting right around Thanksgiving last year, so it’s been a while! 


I’m all about getting my holiday cards out right after Thanksgiving and they were in the post on Saturday! 


My mom came over to stay with us on Saturday into Sunday and it was such a treat to have her around…of course we were able to sneak in a couple of dates because that’s what mom’s are for! I did make a lot of Black Friday purchases and happen to be wearing my new jeans (50% off) & top (50% off)! Also, my bag was sort of an impulse purchase a couple Friday’s ago, but Coach was already running their Black Friday special at the time so I was able to score the discount! That night we went out for sushi and laughed because all we could talk about was Sophia!


Sunday was the day I had been waiting for – decorating for the holidays! It was so fun to see Sophia staring at the lights and telling her all about our special ornaments that we collect from our travels! I also bought an ornament to commemorate her first Christmas from Etsy.


We snuck in another day date to do some holiday shopping. We were able to make it a double date with Jackie and Tom to Eataly & I have to say their chef’s choice meat & cheese board is my favorite! I ordered this Rachel Parcell sweater (currently on sale!) a week or so ago and it arrived just in time to break it in for the weekend. I love the fun pops of colors that it has and the fit is really nice! Will definitely be picking up some more items from the store! 


It was the perfect weekend and the best part is it’s not over yet! I actually took today off so we’re enjoying another low key day at home! Hope you have a great start to the week friends!

    The turkey hats are too cute and Sophia is adorable! And you are looking great, mama! Hopefully the sleep regression is short lived and y’all enjoy the extra day at home. Those are the best!

    What a fun Thanksgiving weekend, and I'm so glad you were able to sneak in some dates while your mother stayed with you! Isn't it funny how you can never quite stop talking about your baby once you're alone? It doesn't get better, either haha I'm so glad you had such a beautiful time! Have the best week ahead!

    Just thinking of Eataly has my mouth watering. I LOVE that place! You got so many good pictures from Sophia's first Thanksgiving. And the baby's first Christmas ornament is precious – even more so the picture of you guys looking at the tree!

    What a fun weekend – glad you got to sneak in a few dates! Love that striped sweater you were wearing… so pretty. Those sleep regressions are tough, but I'd always remind myself "this too shall pass." Soon, she'll be snoozing away again. 😉 xo

    Looks like a fun holiday!! Your family is the cutest (immediate and extended)!! I love that reddish (auburn? burnt siena? Who knows? lol) dress on you!! It's the perfect fall color and looks amazing with your hair!! I'm impressed that your holiday cards are ready to go already! I'm thinking about sending out new year's cards this because I don't have a Christmas card photo I want to use ready to go… but now that cards have started arriving, I feel totally sad that mine aren't ready to go, lol. #firstworldproblems

    Your first wine in a year – congrats! 4 month sleep regression – ugggh, tough – but you are young enough to bounce bac – it certainly hasn't made you look tired – looking fab as always! And Sophie looks so alert – I think she looks like she is going to be super intelligent – you can just tell by how interested and alert she looks. Gorgeous family photos (the one of Sophia entranced by the tree is delightful), and I think you should wear those Turkey hats next time you go out for a meal, just for a laugh haha! Joanne xx
