Monday Morning Musings 180
Mini Weekend Recap
We had such a fun weekend, full of family, productivity, and a mini Netflix binge! On Saturday, we headed down to Disney Springs (which, to be honest, we don’t do as often as we should) for my nephew’s birthday party! They had the party at Strike Bowling Alley, and it was a blast! Watching the little ones bowl was hysterical. On Saturday afternoon we came home and did some housework while watching Gilmore Girls; will always love that show. It feels like fall to me.
On Sunday after church, we headed to our favorite spot in Winter Park, The New General, for lunch and iced coffee, and then it was back home for more house projects! I worked on laundry, dishes, and baking cookies, while Ryan pressure washed everrrrything. And then gave our house’s front columns a fresh coat of paint. I just love a Sunday at home.
I hope you had an equally lovely weekend!
5 Things I’m Loving
So many fun finds, I had a hard time narrowing it down to five!
Loving
Puff Sleeve Bow Blouse
Can we talk about just how great this top is?! It comes in S-I-X colors and is under $75, and it’s just so pretty. Actually, I really like this entire look. It’s really the perfect blouse to add a little pop to your favorite pair of denim. Can’t get enough.

Pumpkin Spice Candle
I am *so* picky when it comes to scents. I get instant headaches if it’s too much. But while strolling Target last week, I was feeling risky and browsed the candle aisle. I sniffed everything, and this one seemed like it might just work for me. It wasn’t a million dollars, like some candles are, so I felt like it was worth the risk, and I’m happy to report, it’s a good one! Our house now smells like fall magic, and I couldn’t be happier.

Book Club Bonus
I hope you’ve already scooped up this month’s Book Club Book: “The Off Limits Rule.” If you haven’t, hop on over to our book club page, you will L-O-V-E this book! Also, it has a sequel, which is so fun when you find a book you really love! I started “The Temporary Roomie” over the weekend, and it’s adorable. Another great title to add to your TBR list!
Loving
Bauble Stocking
I know it *feels* too early to be thinking about Christmas, but guys, I checked the calendar, and it’s NOT. Ah! Anyway, I met the founder of Bauble Stockings, Kate, a few years ago, and I just love her mission. This year she teamed up with Erin Gates of Elements of Style and the design is being sold exclusively on The Avenue! Kate sent me a stocking, and it’s even more beautiful in real life!
Loving | Under $200!
Perfect Little Black Dress
Um. Is this the perfect little black dress or am I just dreaming?!?!?!? WOW. I love the neckline, the cinched waist, the full skirt. It’s all just really good. The perfect holiday party circuit dress in my opinion!

Because of you, now my house smells like fall magic! Even though I have a large selection of candles, including fall ones, I didn’t have any pumpkin ones. I didn’t intend to buy any more candles until I read about this one. So when I was at Target last week I had to get this candle, and then it smelled so good that I had to buy a second one. And I’m so glad I did! It smells amazing. I never would have considered it without your influence. It’s so good that I might need to buy one for my mom. I’m also eyeing that bow blouse! Thanks for the great recommendations!
Kim!! I’m so happy to hear this, thank you for sharing!! I hope you enjoy! xx
Do you mind sharing some other candles you love? I also get headaches from scents. Thanks.
