Stroller (This converts to a double stroller and comes with a bassinet top as well.)

On Me: Jennifer Haley Leather Jacket | Sneakers | Plaid Shirt | Sunglasses Dupe (Under $100) | High-Rise Black Jeans (Under $100!) | V-Neck White T-Shirt ($20) | Scarf is One of a Kind Hermes

On Babies: Hux Baby | Georgie’s Jeans | Georgie’s sneakers

Fall fashion has always been my favorite and I love getting to add the boys’ into the mix. These sneakers were a huge splurge for me, but anytime I’m with the boys’ I’ve got them on. A leather jacket is a complete staple to layer up in the fall months. The detailing on this Jennifer Haley jacket is just so good. The sides have a lace up detailing and all the zippers have braided pulls. I paired it with my absolute go to plain t-shirt. It’s an under $20 find, and I have it in every color. (They just released it in a mustard color. So good!) The scarf is Hermes… Speaking of.

I’ve wanted an Hermes scarf for as long as I can remember. They can become heirloom pieces and are so luxurious and beautiful. They are currently having a pop up shop in Hill Center and Nashville, and IT DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. They are dip dying vintage scarves in beautiful hues. This makes the fabric buttery soft. The whole pop up is done in the signature Hermes orange. (Even the washing machines.) They also have one of a kind designed scarves available for purchase. I loved the motif on this marigold one. (It even had a small tiger on it.) So happy it went home with me! I found a great affordable option in the same color HERE. (It’s $25!)

Now that the temps have cooled down we have been getting out and about with the boys’ a lot more. On Friday we went to a really fun event at the Fontanel here in Nashville. The Glow is there right now, and I highly recommend checking it out. They have over 5,000 hand carved jack o’ lanterns that are illuminated into various figures. Some are even done life size. (Georgie’s favorite were the motorcycles.) Others are done in public figures and cute themes. Nothing was too spooky, perfect to tag the babies along. They also had food trucks and drinks. The Glow experience will be happening again October 19-22 and then again on October 26-29.

Saturday some of my girlfriends came over for dinner and champagne. I met these girls during my NFL days cheering for the Rams and I love that we have stayed great friends since. You know you have a life long friend when you can pick right back up where you left off. (Even if it’s been forever since you’ve last caught up.) It’s great to have friends that understand it’s hard to get a babysitter, and are just as happing sipping champs in sweatpants on a Saturday. Bragging on my husband for sec… that man can cook! He made us an awesome meal. (And even did the grocery shopping for it.)

Sunday was another family fun day. We took the babes out to eat, grocery and target shopping and then took them to Toys R Us. Georgie’s face was priceless. He kept saying “wow.” He ran from each different section, and was so excited to find “Icky” AKA “Mickey.”

Hope everyone is having a great start to your week!

On Me: Thermal Top | Black Jeans | Sneakers

On Georgie: Plaid Shirt | Jeans | Baby Nikes

On Wilder: Stripe Bodysuit

I know I’m #basic, but I love fall more than just about anything. The weather, the smells, the beginning of the holiday season, the pumpkin flavored everything. It’s all just so good. Best of all the weather is usually pretty great for the babies to get out and about. Perfect season to squeeze in lots of family fun!

I’ve been LIVING in this insanely comfy thermal with thumb holes. It comes in six other colors as well. Thinking I need to order the grey and wine colors too….

FALL FAMILY FRIENDLY ACTIVITIES

* If you are in Nashville or visiting you MUST check out Cheekwood Botanical Gardens. They have a beer garden complete with food trucks and pumpkin flavored beer, thousands of mums, a ton of pumpkins and even a pumpkin house. If you want a cute family photo opportunity. THIS. IS. THE. PLACE.

* Picnics. We are so lucky to have beautiful parks and playgrounds here in Tennessee. Pack a blanket and some finger foods and head out on a picnic. I’m planning to go on one with the boys when we get back from our trip.

* S’mores. All kids love s’mores. Have a little bon fire, invite some friends. My kind of night! I’ve been planning one with my sweet friend Vanessa and her baby and hubs!

* Hit up a pumpkin patch. We had so much fun letting Georgie pick out a pumpkin. He threw a lot of them before finding the perfect one, but it was pretty cute! A lot of the patches have tons of activities built in. Hay rides, hay slides, corn mazes, etc.

* Bake an apple pie and deliver it to someone in need. The perfect way to start instilling the importance of giving back early. G can only really stir at his age, but he enjoys feeling like he is helping.

* Another Nashville based activity: The Fontanel is having a fun Jack O’ Lantern experience. We plan to go and I will be sure to pass along more details soon. I know the installation will have a 1/3 mile walk of jack o’ lanterns, pumpkin pirate ships and pumpkin dinosaurs. It’s very family friendly, so nothing to spooky that would scare a young one.

* Eat dinner outside. Grilling is in full force at the Wilson household. It’s an easy way to eat healthy (throw on some veggies and a lean protein) and enjoy it on the porch!

* Do a charity 5k run or walk. This is the time of year for it! There are several breast cancer awareness walks this time of year. I plan to load the kids up in our new double stroller, and hit one up. (Most likely walking this one…)

* Decorate your front porch for fall. I love adding a fall wreath and some mums and pumpkins to the front porch. I am not a fan of the orange, so I like to find some in the white/grey colors. We will let G help pick it out, and plan to let him paint his first pumpkin!

* Go for a hike. I’m hoping that Trey and I can each load a baby up in a baby carrier and head out for a hike. We use to love Cummins falls which is near Nashville. That one might be a little aggressive with the boys, but there are so many great options out there!
