Saturdays are amazing. Birthdays are amazing. And when your birthday happens to fall on a Saturday it’s like you’ve hit the jackpot. Fall temperatures graced us with their presence this weekend and I made my first official batch of chili Friday night. We let the kids stay up as late as they wanted and J and I rented Independence Day Resurgence which despite horrible reviews, was actually pretty good.

I’m linking up with Christina, Amanda, Erika, & Karli to bring you my 5 things this Friday. //one// Ever since Lisa posted about these booties I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them.
