Friday Round Up


Happy Friday friends! Our friends Mike and Meg (I celebrated her bachelorette in New York City) are getting married this evening and it’s just the perfect way to start a weekend, in my opinion! This week was all over the place – from visits with friends during the week to events after work, I’m excited to kick back and relax! Here are a few favorites I have from the month of October & this week! 


via


Songs from October ||




Thanks to iTunes Radio I’ve been able to discover new artists and songs that I would never get to hear since we are rarely in the car listening to the radio! Three of my current favorites are:




Hurts by Emeli Sande


Rockabye by Clean Bandit feat. Sean Paul & Anne Marie 


Sing me to sleep by Alan Walker – ps this DJ is 19…I’m in shock! Or maybe I shouldn’t be! 



Back to School ||




I went back to school on Wednesday and it was so much fun! I was able to attend the Reward Style School Night and learned so many great tips and tricks from the ladies who work there. Not to mention I was able to see my fellow Boston bloggers that I “know” so well from Instagram, but rarely get to see in person! I have to say, when someone breaks down SEO the way they did, you finally have that “AHA” moment!! 



Holiday Cards ||






Hard to believe that it’s time to prep for holiday card sending!! Right now Shutterfly is running a huge sale – 50%, 40% & 30% with the code “ALLNEW” + plus free shipping! I love how easy companies have made it to send out holiday cards, they address them for you and you can even have them send it for you if you want – but I’m type A and like to inspect everything! All I have to do is finalize the design – of the ones above, which get’s your vote? 



Purchase ||




As you’ve probably heard, ShopBop is having a surprise sale and it just so happens that it coincides with me finding out I got a promotion at work πŸ™‚ SO…I decided to treat myself to these pretty earringsas a little present from me to me! 



Recipe to make again ||




Once the weather dips into cooler temps I want comfort foods, but try to make it as healthy as possible! Enter this Sun Dried Tomato & Parmesan Chicken Zoodles recipe! I’ve actually made it once before and will be making it again on Sunday!! 






Hope you all have an amazing weekend! See you back here Monday for weekending!

    I so wish rS would come to DC for a class! I can't believe it's time for holiday cards already. I was just looking yesterday at all the options. I guess we need to take the picture first! Enjoy the wedding and have a great weekend!

    Love all those cards, but I think my favorite is the middle one! That recipe looks ridiculously good. I am hoping to get a spiralizer for Christmas this year. If so, I am definitely making that dish!

    I'm totally jealous of your SEO school. I need that in my life in a real bad away. I think if I could just do some blog school… I'd be in a much better place. I keep going to book store, looking for books, getting overwhelmed and leaving with nothing. I'm ridiculous. lol

    I swear one day, we'll actually do christmas cards with pictures.
    Such a sad statement that as a photographer, I never take pictures of my world for cards.
    Have a great time at the wedding. Fall weddings are just the best!

    That class you went to looks fun. Those earrings are super cute and that recipe looks delicious! Totally just pinned it to try. I think I am going to wait to the last minute for holiday cards this year because I am going to try to do a baby announcement/Christmas card all in one! Hope you have a fabulous time at the wedding!
