The Week In Rewind Volume 63

Happy Sunday, friends!

How was your week? It was another busy one on the blog with lots of talk about fall – and one of my favorites – football season!

If you missed out on any of this week’s posts, I’ve linked everything for you below. And, as always, I’ve also rounded up some inspiring ideas and delicious recipes from a few of my friends.

So get cozy, settle in, and join me for the latest week in rewind!

Tidbits From Home

Helloooo, August! Summer is officially winding down in our house. Kirk reports back to school this week, and the high school sports season kicks into gear for Peyton.

I would say I’m sad to say goodbye to the lazy days of summer, but truthfully, I’m not sure our summer felt all that lazy.

In other news, my flowers are loving the rainy, muggy weather we’ve been having here.

My summer planters are still going strong. And I found a friend hiding amongst some geraniums while watering earlier this week.

This summer, I’ve been fortunate to avoid damage from budworms and excessive heat. A first in as long as I can remember.

I’ll bust out the pumpkins and mums next month, but for now, I’m relishing the beautiful blooms while they last.

My Favorite Finds

I have my eyes on this fall garland.

I love this cute front doormat.

This fall wardrobe staple is currently in my shopping cart.

I have and love this fall decor vase filler.

I can’t recommend these enough for travel, or even keeping track of backpacks!

Shop My Amazon Storefront

I am always adding new finds to my Amazon storefront, so be sure to stop by and check out my latest curated collections.

This week’s updates include my favorite wreaths and florals for fall and the best back-to-school bargains!

P.s. Did you know that I earn a small commission each time you click on a shoppable link in one of my posts and buy something?

I am so thankful when you shop using my links. Your support helps keep my blogging dream alive which allows me to continue to create and share content here with you!

This Week On The Blog

This week I flipped the switch to all things fall. I know it may still be a bit early for some. I hope that sharing now helps you gather ideas and inspiration to save and use as a resource once you’re ready to embrace the season.

Speaking of embracing the season, on Tuesday, I shared a collection of my favorite fall florals and wreaths from Amazon. There’s a variety of styles and colors for every budget!

Fall means apple season, and this apple cider mojito is the perfect cocktail for all your fall get-togethers.

The arrival of fall also means it’s time for two of my favorite things…football and tailgating! If you’re planning to host any tailgates this season, stop by to read my tips for hosting an unforgettable tailgate right in your own backyard!

And, of course, no game day celebration would be complete without some amazing food! If you need some new recipes to try, be sure to check out my round-up with some of the best football tailgate foods around.
