Our Weekend + Recent Buys + 14-Day Plank Challenge

Today was a really fun day. I woke up feeling a little anxious because I wasn't sure if Harper would be in pain or really bruised, but her upper lip area actually looked way better than the day before and though the swelling was still present on the inside of her upper lip, but the outside looked good, considering how hard the fall was.

We ended up going through with our plans to go to the Pumpkin Patch Fall Festival at the Nature Discovery Center. My in-laws joined us and we had a great time walking the grounds and playing at the park.

Can you believe Harper actually kept her sunglasses on for some of the time we were there? I think it's the longest she's ever worn them. I'm trying to get her to wear her babiators more often so she's used to them when we go to the Bahamas. By the way, babiators have a warranty--- if you break or lose them within a year of having them, they replace them for free (you just pay $5.95 shipping). Harper's broke a couple of months ago (we would have tried to fix them but the second lens was MIA) and they sent us a new pair right away.

Harper's favorite thing lately is the slide. Since the weather has cooled down a little (in the 70's or 80's instead of the 90's, ha) we have taken evening walks most nights and she loves going to the park. She can slide down all by herself now and keeps saying "more more" because she wants to go again and again.  So it was no surprise when she beelined for the slide at the nature center today.

Anytime she sees pumpkins, she wants to carry them or sit on them...

She loved that smiling scarecrow�we had to jump around just to get her to look at the camera for this shot...

 The perfect size to carry around...

After visiting the Nature Discovery Center, we took my in-laws to Local Foods. We eat there all the time but they had never been. I always get the crunchy chicken sandwich and postole soup. I've tried a lot of the sides and some salads too. It's all delicious food made with ingredients that are locally sourced. 

When we got home, I used my Zoku popsickle molds to make blueberry/raspberry yogurt popsicles for Harper. I used plain, 2% fage yogurt and blended it with blueberries and raspberries. I really love this kit--- it's really easy to use and the popsicles are a good size. I can already tell Harper will love them because I gave her the leftover mix from the blender and she licked the bowl clean.

If you follow me on instagram, you probably already saw my new Daniel Wellington watch. I'm obsessed! From the rose gold, to the simple and elegant watch face, to the navy and pink band, it's just gorgeous. I can't wait to show it to you with some outfits. Daniel Wellington is offering all of my readers a 15% off discount using the code "veronikasblushing" at checkout, if you're in the market for a new watch!

Last weekend, I purchased some new beauty items at Ulta, and I forgot to share them!

I also have to share these adorable bows Mary from Ryan & Wren sent to me last week:

They're perfect for fall and very well made. Ryan & Wren is one of the first Etsy shops I ever ordered bows from and I just love the styles she offers.

Before I wrap-up, I want to invite you all to join me for a 14-day plank challenge with Marion from Marionberry Style. I will be doing check-ins on Instagram and you can join the group's Facebook page here. If you're already fit, no worries, because Marion will be posting an advanced schedule + moves each day to follow. You have 20 seconds on Monday, right? Join me!

I hope you had a wonderful Sunday! Thank you for all of your comments on yesterday's post here on on IG. It was a very scary moment as a first time parent and I'm grateful for everyone who sent good wishes to Harper.

Our Weekend- Old MacDonald's Farm + Pumpkin Patch

This weekend was really fun! On Saturday, we ran some errands and then went to a friend's 40th birthday party. Harper had a blast running around chasing one of the dogs there. "Woof woof" is one of her favorite sounds!

Today we headed to Old MacDonald's Farm in Humble. We met Amanda, Ben and Cami there and we had so much fun watching our girls explore the pumpkin patch, meet the animals, chase after deer and go on pony rides. My in-laws were able to join us too, which was great :)

I'll let the pictures do the talking here, we got so many cute ones!

she was obsessed with the ponies--- before we left, she pulled her grampy's hand 

and led him to the line so she could go again!

the girls chasing deer...

We had such a great day! After visiting the farm, we all went to Chuy's for lunch. Then we headed home for nap time. After that, Megan came over for a visit--- and speaking of Megan--- if you need adorable Halloween cat ears for your little ones--- look no further, she's got you covered with these cuties!

Have a great Sunday!
