Last week I shared my Dream September Wardrobe Wishlist so I’m adding the outfits from my Austin trip here. This week was incredibly busy with the mundane—MRIs, lots of Zoom calls and walking pad meetings and O was out of town for three days in which the kids had field trips, home school, one soccer game, two football games, church and a birthday party. The past couple weeks featured super simple outfits (many of which I forgot to photograph) and simple meals.
I just have to say that I’ve never gotten more compliments on my hair and this is the tool I borrowed from my sister to achieve it. The waves (O refers to them as crimps) lasted shockingly long and I’m hooked for life.
In this post I’m sharing the green bean recipe I can’t get enough of, the “One Bowl Healthy Muffins” (gluten free and vegan) my family keeps asking me for and the Amazon rug I get asked about every week.

And this rug is one I get asked about most so I love to say this: It’s Amazon.
