A Sweet Beginning

I have loved Busy Philipps since watching Dawson's Creek and then Cougar Town.  She is hilarious on Instagram and a relatable, down to earth celebrity.  She is a great storyteller and I recommend this book.

This book feels honest and empowering.  I loved learning about the choices she has made in her life to find success.  I was also super interested in learning about life with Tom Brady :)

I was hoping this book was more of a lifestyle read with recipes and beauty tips.  It was nice to read about her path in life, just not what I expected.

Last week was our fall festival at school and yesterday was the storybook character parade!  Ava dressed up as Elena this year and had the best time.  After school we had some pizza, changed our clothes, and went to Lakes Park to pick out pumpkins and play.

One of our favorite fall traditions is heading to the Naples Zoo to trick or treat in 90 degree weather :)  We love seeing pumpkins in all of the animal exhibits and Ava gets a head start on her candy collection.

Well, it's finally feeling like Fall in SW FL because today at car rider line I didn't sweat!  We have a month of fun activities planned including Halloween with friends at the end of the month.  Ava still hasn't decided what she wants to be but she has a drawer full of princess dresses so I'm sure it will work out just fine :)

This weekend we were outside and active both Saturday and Sunday and it was a major mood-booster!  I always say that nature is my church and getting up and moving first thing both days of the weekend felt great!

Saturday we were at FGCU celebrating Make A Wish at their Walk for Wishes.
