Good morning and very happy Friday to you! It’s time for another edition of What I’m Loving Lately, and it’s quite the round-up this week. I hope you enjoy it! 🙂
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios – Oh my gosh, I can’t get enough of Pumpkin Spice Cheerios in my life. But, truthfully, I feel a little guilty about opening the box so soon. My friends from General Mills sent me some to try a few weeks ago, and I had every intention of waiting until at least September to open the box. Oops. Well, now I guess it’s pumpkin season for me? 🙂 All I know is that I will definitely buy more soon. They’re made from real pumpkin puree, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, so they’re the perfect blend of pumpkin + spice. Rumor has it that Pumpkin Spice Cheerios are on store shelves now, so keep a look out for them!
Motocrossed Jacket – I love this sweater/jacket so much! It’s definitely a must-have for fall and only $38!!
Trader Joe’s Dried Baby Bananas – Mmm! These babies are perfect for snacking, especially when you’re craving something sweet and carb-y. The only ingredient is dried bananas, so there’s nothing added to them.
5 Fitness Bloggers We Love – I’m so honored to be included!
Lucky Finn Cafe – Oh, man. This love is totally for the locals, but I am obsessed with Lucky Finn Cafe in Scituate. It’s absolutely adorable, serves awesome coffee, and I can’t wait to visit again!
This Patriots sign – I know some people it would be perfect for! 🙂
18 Ways Crossfit Will Actually Change Your Life – Yep.
Melissa & Doug Felt Food – We own both the pizza and sandwich sets, and they’re so great for helping Quinn to expand his vocabulary while enjoying himself by making food for Mama and Dada. 🙂
Bess Army Overcoat – I’m on the hunt for the perfect fall jacket. I like this one below.
As well as this one: The North Face – Bombay Jacket. I know they’re pretty different, but I’m in the market for an olive green jacket. Thoughts? Opinions?
CVS Health Children’s Gummy Dinos – Qman seriously loves these gummy dinos. So much, in fact, he had a meltdown over wanting more of them! Poor kid. I’m so glad that he likes them, but I love even more that he’s getting some nutrients in his (picky kid) diet! #win
iPad Mini Case – After a few close calls with our iPad, we finally bought a kid-friendly case for it. Qman especially likes carrying it around by its handle!
Do What Made You Happy As A Kid – So much truth to this!
Question of the Day
Which olive green jacket from above do you like better?
Is it pumpkin season yet?
Happy weekend, friends! I hope you enjoy every minute of it! 🙂
Happy Friday? It’s Thursday right?!?
This post makes me that much more excited for pumpkin season!
Crossing my fingers that the grocery stores around here have pumpkin spiced cheerios! 🙂 🙂
I like the North face jacket – I know if it was me I would get a lot more wear out of that one. Practical but really cute too!
Coming into spring here in Aus but I would be all over those Cheerios if I could – who needs for it to be September! 😉
Go for the first jacket! We purchased a kid-friendly iPad cover that Mitch can tote around as well and it’s been a life saver. His is shaped like an alien, so he hangs onto the arms. It’s hilarious!
I can hardly believe it’s pumpkin season already. Where has this year gone? I made a lentil soup last week for a sponsored post and was sweating like crazy on 100 degrees. The year may be zipping by but I am definitely looking toward to some cooler weather!
Just as a heads up, the north face jacket runs small and is very short! I ordered it online last year and had to return it. I ended up finding a very similar style at Eddie Bauer of all places! Love the olive green color though!
Thank you! Good to know! 🙂
NorthFace all the way! Cute and practical for our Fall season.
OH my Gosh. I’m super pregnant and had I known I was going to crave cheerios this time around, I would have seriously bought stock in General Mills. But Pumpkin Spice Cheerios. I think these just won my heart over! I’m local (live in Hanson) so if you see them, please share local stores so I can run out immediately and grab them 🙂
Also – I have a random question for you. I noticed at one point you belonged to CrossFit 781, and then transferred to Salt Shack? Both boxes are equidistant from my house. Was there a reason for the switch? If it’s personal, you don’t have to share. After I deliver this baby (2 weeks from today!) I am done having kids (3 in 3 years is quite enough for me…) But I really really really want to join CrossFit to start feeling better about myself again. The two above are closest to me, Salt Shack actually being a bit closer, but don’t want to pick a box that isn’t welcoming to new comers etc. I figured you’re the best person to ask for local boxes 🙂
Thanks so much.
I wonder if we live near each other? 🙂 Both boxes are about the same distance from our house too. The main reason was because SS has childcare; 781 doesn’t. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!
I love the Northface jacket, definitely something I would buy. But as another commenter stated, I’ve actually found some great coats/jackets at Eddie Bauer and with similar styles!
I’m not ready for pumpkin season, I just can’t get myself to embrace it at least until September, I love summer too much!
I love the first jacket better – you could layer easier. 🙂
Just a note, I was looking for a utility jacket and found a good one at J.crew. It’s called the downtown field jacket. I got the mossy brown, which is actually more of a green/brown. My sister has it and loves it. The fit is really flattering and comes reg, tall, and petite…
Oooh, thank you! I will check it out! 🙂
Army green is trending again this fall!!
Not sure if you’ve heard of it, but there is a show called ‘Adam Ruins Everything’ and he does a great piece on vitamins, it changed my mind for sure! Lots of other research out there as well… Just some insight 🙂

Can I ask how you decided to start giving Quinn vitamins? I have asked our pediatricians (we have had 2) and a few PAs at Urgent Care visits, and they always say they don’t recommend them. Does your doc say you should be giving them? Ugh, my guy eats pretty well, but I hate the idea of something missing…
Pumpkin Spice Cheerios?!?! I’m in! (although I think Trader Joe’s had pumpkin O’s last fall… might be interesting to do a taste test! I love ALL things pumpkin).
I think you should get BOTH jackets – because of where you live, one is a great fall jacket and the other is for colder weather. 😉
I love the felt food!
My cousin has a son named Finn but they live in CO, so doubt they’ll be heading to the East Coast any time soon – but it’s always fun to see his name ‘up in lights’.
I was kind of leaning toward both jackets, actually. They’re pretty different, but I love them both. Oh, decisions! 🙂
Are you familiar with Simple Mills crackers/baking mixes? I just discovered them this week and am obsessed! I know that’s not pumpkin (which I am so excited for!) or olive jacket related, but just thought it might be something you’ll be “loving lately” soon!
I haven’t heard of them before, so thank you for telling me. I’ll check them out right now! 🙂
I’m sad to see the Quarter Deck is no longer in Scituate (now Lucky Finn) — it was such a great store where we always took out of town era when they visited. Happy to see a nice shop took its place, though! I’ll have to check this place out next time I’m visiting my parents.
I love the felt food from Melissa and Doug, where did you get them? My 17 month old would love those for her kitchen.
One was a gift and the other is from Amazon. Just click on the links for info! 🙂
RIP Quarterdeck! (where Lucky Finn is now). I had heard it was going out of business, but hit home with this picture.
Love those jackets.. I need a new fall one too! I am really excited about Pumpkin everything so soon! Have a great weekend!
Both are cute but if I must choose the North Face. Love the sweater.
Those pumpkin spice Cheerios are amazing. Also love the Dannon pumpkin spice Greek yogurt!
I don’t think it’s ever too early to break out the pumpkin spice! Those cheerios look amazing 😀
Blessings,
Edye
I have to admit, I assumed the pumpkin spice Cheerios would have artificial colors and flavors, but I’m glad that they are made with natural flavors. That’s great! I can’t believe pumpkin season is almost here.
I have a pumpkin cheesecake recipe I want to try but I’m trying wait until September
I love the Bess Army jacket. It looks like it might be longer, which would be nice over longer shirts/sweaters. I always run into the problem where I love my outfit but then think I look silly when my jacket is way too short and everything is sticking out.
I definitely like the Northface one better! Also, my fiance knows how Pumpkin obsessed I am, but is making me wait until September for all things fall :O I always try to rush the autumn season, but I need to learn to appreciate the summer too 😛
It was pumpkin season for me last week. Bring on the pumpkin flavored anything! If only the weather could get a bit colder right?! And looking for a fall jacket is such a pain. I find so many cute ones but they are all so dang expensive. If you find a cute one in a good price range let me know 😀 I’m also pretty sure you are addicted to good quality coffee just like me lol
