There is no denying that fall is here if the weather this week is any indication. It’s chilly, rainy and honestly a touch miserable. Is it weird that I am kind of enjoying it though? I’ve been wearing pants and big oversized shirts all week and not sweating to death. It’s kind of amazing. With …

I’ve been watching the days and weeks flip by on the calendar and there’s no denying that my favorite time of year is just around the corner! From Halloween through New Year’s, I find myself pretty much giddy constantly. Add in the fact that we’re having a baby this year, too, and I am basically over …
Happy Monday, friends! I hope you had a great weekend. I spent some time over the last few days continuing to think about and plan for holiday season content. I feel like I’m constantly saying “there’s so much happening behind the scenes” or some variation thereof, but I am truly working really hard to double down right now so that I can …
Now that it’s officially fall, I am quickly getting into the spirit of the season. Do you live in a climate with changing seasons? While our winters here are incredibly long and brutal, I find the change of seasons seriously energizing and I can’t imagine living somewhere without distinct changes in weather. Fall to me is …
An alternate title to this post would absolutely have to be, “10 Diaper Bags that Don’t Suck.” Because, honestly, diaper bags in general definitely seem to suck. Most of them seem to be made of plastic-like nylon and even more of them are plastered with juvenile cartoon and floral prints that just don’t cut it …
Remember a few months ago when I dyed some shibori onesies and then made the world’s prettiest dip dyed tote bags? (Um, even if I do say so myself.) Well, I wasn’t lying when I promised that I was quickly becoming obsessed with dyeing things. As in, every thing. Today I’m sharing these pretty DIY ombre …
Happy Friday, sweet friends! Now that we’re getting closer, I thought I’d bump up the frequency of my baby updates. No worries, I still have zero intention of inundating you with baby stuff all the time, but I know how many questions I’ve had about, well, everything (and how much I’ve been researching and how many YouTube videos …
Earlier this year I shared 12 of my favorite iPhone wallpaper designs for summer, and that post has become a huge run away hit! I seriously never saw that one coming, but you guys pinned like crazy and I listened, making me figure it was a safe bet you might like to see a round-up …
Ever a lover of all things gold leaf, I recently decided to jazz up a plain, simple white frame with a bit of a metallic touch. I’d had this pineapple photograph print (by Ez Pudewa of Petit Pippin) for going on a year and a half (or honestly it may have been closer to two …
Happy Monday, friends! So here’s the deal. Are you following me on Instagram yet? I may or may not have spilled the beans on the gender of our little nugget over there last week! We are so excited that at last week’s ultrasound (after three attempts) the little one finally cooperated and showed us the …
This post was sponsored by Alouette. Thank you for supporting the sponsors that so generously allow The Sweetest Occasion to keep on keepin’ on! I’m not even going to front when it comes to my love for good party snacks. Planning the menu is one of my favorite parts of entertaining! With football season upon us, …
Well, I’m entirely unsure as to how it happened in an instant, but Labor Day has come and gone and it’s officially time to gear up for football season! We’re big football fans in this house, mainly NFL, but we do enjoy a good college game, too. (Also, we have a football player of our …
