Happy Friday! I am especially excited about today for many reasons. One, it is October!! Officially my favorite month of the year. And two, we are taking off for Nashville tomorrow for a little mini vacation. Initially we were planning to take our annual trip to Iowa to visit family, but as the time grew closer, we realized how crazy we were to think that the kids could handle a 14 hour car ride, even broken up into two days of travel with a hotel stay in the middle. So quick change of plans, we are postponing our trip for a few weeks/months, and instead, meeting Brandon’s family in Nashville for the weekend! We are super excited, and thanks to all of your recommendations on Instagram (@jlgarvin) I think we will have plenty of fun things to eat do & see! 😉
Sharing a few of my favorite photos & finds from the week, hope you enjoy!

Target finds (including this sweater & this nailpolish
This recipe for caramel apple cream cheese spread is definitely on our must-make list for Fall.
I came across the cutest etsy shop this week & I am in love with everything! Black & white spotted pattern & soft organic fabrics get me every time.
I loved this video, thoughts on how quickly life passes you by as you live a hectic lifestyle. Although it totally made me tear up a bit.
Hope you all enjoy your weekend & get a little taste of some delicious Fall weather!! XO
Hey Jessica!

Gah your family is just to die for! And that video totally made me cry as well…in the middle of a Target isle…with the doddler toddler trying to make a run for the toys! When you take your pictures do you take them with your camera or your phone? And either way what do you use to edit? I am trying to get better at this and your pictures are always sooo beautiful! As always thank you so much for putting up with my wacky questions and your amazing advice!
LOVE your blog! Hope you can check out my lifestyle blog, as well 🙂
Hope you guys are having an amazing vacay!! It will be great to get away for a long weekend!! Y'all enjoy!
Where is the cat-ear headband from!? Love it!
Oh I love that black and white sweater. So classic
Cutest babies ever 🙂
I bought my daughter the cat slip on's but she's only 20 months and their slipping off her feet. Did you find Eloise's cat shoes at the GAP as well?
The Carmel apple cream cheese spread looks amazing.. I do one very similar but add brown sugar to the cream cheese… blend it up.. spread on a plate and add score bits to the top along with carmel sauce… yummmy!!!
Hi Jessica!
That video was so sweet – and so true. We could definitely all slow down a bit and enjoy life more. Hope you have a wonderful time in Nashville! Can't wait to find out more about the holiday candle scents!!

Happy October!
Where are those loafers from?? I die! ❤️❤️
I'm so excited to hear that you guys are heading to Nashville! We live in Franklin, which is about 20 minutes from downtown, and we absolutely love this area – so much to do in terms of food, drinks, and fun!
I'm pretty positive I have both the sweater AND the nail polish – both are perfect items for this time of year!

Have fun in Nashville! Their zoo is phenomenal – I think it's my favorite (sorry California and Arizona!).
Make sure to grab Claire the new black and white spotted leggings at Carters!!
Maybe I missed it somewhere, but where did you find that Peek a Boooo onesie? I've read your blog for a while, but haven't gotten to enjoy the baby clothes posts…until now. Having a girl to dress up is awesome! 🙂
