Random thoughts on this cloudy Saturday morning…
1. Who is is a huge tennis fan? I’m raising my hand! I’ve been glued to the TV watching the U.S. Open and am so excited to watch the women’s finals this afternoon at 4 EST with Coco Gauff.
Holy 19-year-old-amazing-tennis-player!!
So excited to watch! The men’s final is on tomorrow.
I’m totally tuning in!
2. What’s up with the gnarly heat wave that rolled through this past week? Anyone else feel the same? Waaaaaay too hot for my liking in September. I’m sure i’ll be kicking myself for saying this come January.
3. School started back this week here in the Hudson Valley. Caroline started her senior year. This was the first, first day of school where I didn’t drive her or she didn’t get on the bus. I watched her car turn out of our driveway to go to school and though I’m so proud, I had a huge lump in my throat.
I pressed pause for the remainder of the day.
4. In case you missed it, it was a great week on the blog! I shared my top 21 favorite fall decor accessories and tableware and the best dog treats to give to help their skin and fur.
And now?
Here are some more amazing ideas and inspiration I found for us this week!

Isn’t this banner so cute! So cute to make and hang on a mantle at home. Or, if you’re a teacher, it would be so cute hung up in your classroom!

Speaking of mantel banners, I also love this one made out of coffee filters!

Doesn’t this cooking look delicious! I love me a totally-all-about-fall cookie and this one is like a snickerdoodle in leaf form. I’m going to make a batch today right before the US Open comes on.

Now that it’s fall, you know what that means?! College football. Now thiis is a football season that I can get behind. We love to have people over and serve tailgating munchies here at home. On high demand is my perfect Bloody Mary. I have a continuous batch made at all times.
