Mitch here!
A lot of you have been asking (😆) about my salad routine (jokes), so here it is! Believe it or not, in my old age, I now actually eat the spring mix in my fridge instead of just waiting a week and throwing it away like Mitch in his 20s did.
Last weekend, the aunts threw the loveliest family-only bridal shower outside Aunt Mary’s farmhouse for Shirley, my brother-in-law’s fiancé. :)
This is a fun post! My brother-in-law is getting married next weekend in his backyard on his farm. The event is very different than the original plan, but it’s going to be so intimate and special—and unlike any other wedding I’ve ever been to! The countdown has begun. ♥️

Two products I’m in loving more than ever this year:
Just like in months past, I’m sneakin’ the September Spotify playlist in, guys. 😉 I’m so good at blogging.
Hello from the Larkin Family’s cozy living room! I try to do something exciting or special for Emma every week since she no longer has (physical) school, play dates or group sports to look forward to. This week’s magic came in the form of some new activities, a ridiculously affordable princess play tent, and some warm home decor. Oh, and the fireplace. ;)
Artificial Small and Large Pumpkins / Artificial Mums via Etsy (Cheaper) / Faux Mums via Walmart / Buffalo Check Pumpkins (Also have this one from Ballard, and it’s adorable!) / Artificial Mums (Try these potted fall sunflowers if the mums are sold out!) / Artificial Topiaries / Chinoiserie Planters / Dachshund Topiary / Newer Lanterns
While this is our second fall in the new house, I feel like it’s our first. (Last year, we were living under tarps and five-month-old Lucy wasn’t fond of sleeping. 😉) So I’m going ALL. OUT. With artificial pumpkins, of course.
Fun fact: Real pumpkins will survive longer if you give them a water/bleach bath. (This prevents rotting and can help ward off animals.) And I do plan on setting out some real pumpkins in our garden. But as for the front stoop and indoor decor, I’m (predictably 😆) going faux because they require no maintenance and are far less messy.
Mitch here!
I wore a pair of Birkenstock sandals every day for nearly a decade of my life. They were my primary mode of transportation. I wore them in the snow. I wore them while playing sports. I wore them to graduation. I even wore them while commuting to my first job (and immediately changed into a pair of work shoes I kept under my desk upon arriving). But something happened–I got old and forgot myself, I suppose–and my feet have gone un-Birked for far too long.
That is until now.
