Taking a break from talking about crazy kids & sleepless nights, it’s time for some Friday Favorites! Or I guess weekend favorites by the time I post this. My favorite season is just around the corner, although you would never know it with the heat wave we are having right now. But everywhere I look, Fall & Halloween stuff is popping up, and I couldn’t be more excited! Who’s with me?! My goal is to not live in stretched out sweatshirts this year, I am loving this classic black & white gingham top & have already been living in it!

I may be the very last person to hop aboard the overnight oats train, but it has become a new favorite in our house! With less time to make yummy (and healthy) breakfast during the week, I have found that these are so easy & I love all of the different ways to make them. The girls love them & they’re great for increasing milk supply which is a huge for me right now! Have you made overnight oats, please share your favorite ways to make them!! Raspberry Nutella is my favorite.
Also, these cat pajamas? Obsessed with them & the fact that they come in all three of my girls’ sizes (so hard to find under 6 month size and 3T that match!) These make me very excited for Halloween!
Hope you all enjoy the rest of your weekend! XO
Overnight oats are a must in our home as well. I don't have kids, but I do have a husband… and I've made them with bananas/cinnamon/honey and another hit is chocolate protein powder and a scoop (or four) of peanut butter. Cookie butter from Trader Joe's also makes it oh so yummy. Love reading your blog! Please check ours out at http://www.mrsdiaries.com! Thank you for always being so honest and real about your life! <3
Ah, I love overnight oats but I've only tried two recipes. The first (my fave!) is peanut butter-cinnamon overnight oats. I sweeten mine with a dash of maple syrup and OMG, they're to die for. Even my hard-to-please hubby loves them. We prefer making ours with bulk instant oats because they get creamy, vs the 'old fashioned oats' that seem to go mushy.

I'm going to have to try Nutella now… and oh the possibilities of using Trader Joe's cookie butter!
I may just have to get that dress! Even at 7 months postpartum, I'm still a fan of hiding that post-baby belly. Overnight oats are fantastic so, welcome aboard! Almond butter banana and pumpkin pie are my jam. I don't care what month it is, pumpkin pie is totally in, right? Also, here's a recipe for lactation cookies if you're interested!

As always, keep doing your thing and thank you for sharing!

Overnight oats are a must in our household since, like you said, they're so quick and easy to make! We make ours with almond milk, honey and cinnamon. The next day we add blueberries, shredded coconut and pecans. It is so good!!
I will be making these overnight oats tonight! I have never heard of them, but you had me at increased milk supply!
I love how real you are and love hearing about how you're managing with three. Your girls are beautiful! Strawberry/banana/walnut is another great oatmeal combo.
We're just jumping on the overnight oats bandwagon too! Still can't believe my picky two year old will eat them. So far we've just done peanut butter and chocolate. I will definitely be trying all 3 recipes from the site you mentioned!
I haven't tried the overnight oats yet but they look delicious! I'm ready for fall and Halloween as well!

Holy heck I have to get the bat ones for my two. Would you recommend sizing newborn or 0-6 months for a 2-4 week old? Newborn probably right?
I'm loving those pj's 🙂 your blog makes me feel sane because I have twin boys and just had our 3rd son around the same time as you had Claire! 3 kids is a whole new level of crazy but you do it so well
So happy to see I'm not the only one looking into fall and Halloween clothing! However, it is JUST getting into the 80s in Ohio. Love those cat pjs! I haven't been able to find much cute Halloween stuff for my girl. Carters barely has anything out this year which is such a bummer after those amazing glitter black cat leggings last year haha. And did you see carter's has all their Christmas stuff out?! Definitely making a pumpkin pie this week!

Love overnight oats! My favorite is PB banana. I can send you a yummy lactation cookie recipe too. Because, it's for the baby!
We know your life isn't perfect and that you have it all together 100 percent if the time. You breathe deeply and eye roll like the rest of us, and that's okay! This is your blog, thank you for inviting us and making, even me, feel sane.
As always, I love your blogpost, but when you said overnight oats and fall, I had to share…. I made the most AMAZING pumpkin chocolate chip overnight oats yesterday and I just can't even tell you how much it reminded me of cooler weather and sweaters. Cannot wait to see the first leaves change ; fall is my favorite!!!
Definitely going to try the Overnight Oats! I have never heard of that before, sounds delicious! Thanks for sharing!!
Love ALL of these links! Thanks for sharing, been meaning to try overnight oats for a while! And those pjs are adorable! I want the skeleton one for my little one 😉
I would recommend the 0-6 months size! Especially when you think about the time between now and Halloween, you want them to still fit in October! 🙂
I'm having my 2nd c-section in November. When could you start picking up the other girls? Or are you still unable to carry them? I'm going to feel so bad about not being able to hold my 2 year old.
The cutest family.
Don't forget to update your 'About Me' section to include Claire 🙂
I've recently been slightly obsessed with Mini Melissa shoes. I love their cats and the zigzags are super comfortable—or at least they seem so. They're kinda pricey new, but I'm in a buy/sell/trade group on Facebook and you can score some new and slightly used ones for a way less than department stores. My daughter has the light pink cats for summer, but I got her some black cats (http://www.amazon.com/Mini-Melissa-Ultragirl-II-Toddler/dp/B007R0IDLE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1439233854&sr=8-1&keywords=mini+melissa+black+cats) for fall because I'm also slightly obsessed with Halloween.

Love the Raspberry/Nutella overnight oats! I add some almonds and mini choc chips in the morning because I like mine with some crunch. Also going to try a blueberry/banana/walnut combo and one with cookie butter and crushed cookies! Mmmm…
I love the bat pjs…will have to grab some matching ones for my 3yo and 4mo boys. I'm looking forward to fall and cooler weather…and my mom's apple crisp.
I was perusing instagram and saw this family with three girls and thought of you. She takes nice photos, as well. Dearestdaughters is the name I found her profile.
Loving your blog, funny honest and good! If you ever want to try my playsilks or dress ups Halloween? Let me know and I'll send you samples. Sarah@sarahssilks.com
Hanna Anderssen jams are my favorite – and we have to start seasonal ones every year with Halloween. I love those cat ones – just girly enough!
