Fearless Friday: Surviving girl cliques.

Girl cliques. They're a part of every girl's story. Either you were in a fierce one and served on the Queen Bee's royal court or you were cast among the civilians and not even offered a second glance. I've been there time and time again. And, I'm 37!

Pumpkin fest'ing!

This is the second year in a row that we've attended The Great Highwood Pumpkin Fest. It's super fun and super Fall-y. Our kids love it and this weekend couldn't have given us better weather. It's hard not to be in a great mood when you bust out a vest and drink a Bloody Mary on what appears to be a mile-long block party. Win/Win, right?
