Pumpkin Patch, One Year Later

October 23, 2017

a day at the pumpkin patch with the family

Looking through these photos just makes me realize how quickly time goes by! Didn’t we just take these photos from Augustine’s first trip to the pumpkin patch? I remember so vividly walking in with Augustine in the stroller, he was sleeping and could barely fit into that vest I got him. When he woke up, we took him out of the stroller and showed him the pumpkin patch. Augustine was so little and he couldn’t even hold his head up. Matthew and I went because we were so excited to experience the pumpkin patch with him, even if we knew he was a tad too young to enjoy it. It was our first tradition!

All of a sudden it’s 1 year later and that little baby is now a toddler. Not quite walking but on his way! Augustine looked around, pointed at the scarecrows, beat the pumpkins like they were his drums, and even got to check out some of the goats and lambs in the petting zoo. I love this boy more and more each day and I love making memories with him, and building on our traditions.

20 things to do for fall in southern california - M Loves M @marmar

Fall is one of the most beloved times of year, especially in our home. I love getting ready for the season by decorating the house with cozy throws and pumpkin decor. And you know I love to bake with pumpkin spice everything!. Because we do live in Southern California, our fall weather sadly doesn’t start until the end of October, if not the middle of November! It’s so unfortunate but that doesn’t stop us Californians from doing our best to make every part of our life feel like it’s fall. Last year I shared 4 ways to make it feel like Fall and this year I’ve curated a list of 20 things to do for fall in Southern California. For those of you who are fortunate enough to have seasons, hopefully this list can still act as inspiration for your fall bucket list.

A Dark Floral Midi Dress for Summer

July 26, 2017

a dark floral dress to wear during summer or fall - M Loves M @marmarI mentioned in my Instagram last night that I’m seeing fall mentioned everywhere. In food magazines they’re talking about pumpkin spice, home blogs are talking about autumn tablescapes, and craft stores are selling items for Halloween. {What?!} I am not ready! It doesn’t help that the biggest sale of the year is going on right now and it’s all about fall too! Yes, it’s the perfect time to buy items that will go up for the next season, but I’m still wanting to relish in my summer dresses, eat big slices of cold watermelon, and enjoy sandy beach days! Anyone else?

Today I’m styling a dark floral midi dress for summer, but yes, you can wear it in fall too!
