There’s no doubt that you will soon begin to think about your Halloween costume with matching witchy nails, but before diving deep into October’s signature holiday, you’ve got to make a stop at Trader Joe’s! The shelves have been stocked with Apple and Pumpkin flavored EVERYTHING! I’ve rounded up some of my favorites…

• Cornbread Crisps – Great with any cheese dip or as a snack on their own.
• Pumpkin Cereal Bars
• Frozen Pumpkin Waffles
• Apple Smoked Fully Cooked Bacon– BLT sandwiches have never been easier.
• Pumpkin Pancake and Waffle Mix- Waffles for dinner is a family favorite. Top them with pumpkin butter for an extra bang.
• Pumpkin Biscotti– A morning treat that pairs perfect with a nice cup of joe!
• Vanilla Meringues– Not seasonal, but a guilt free treat when I’m looking for something sweet.
• Harvest Chili– This is mouth watering good and packed with delicious flavor.
• Halloween Joe Joe’s– Sure to put a smile on someone’s face.
• Pumpkin Bagels– Toast and top with Apple Cider Jam or Pumpkin Butter! You’ll be going back for more.
• Organic Pumpkin Bread– This is also great toasted and topped with Apple Cider Jam or Pumpkin Butter.
• Apple Cider Jam
• Pumpkin Butter

Whatever the holiday, my kids always burst with excitement when I start bringing our seasonal decor out from storage. They spring to open the tubs and profess their love for the season as they twirl around placing items throughout the house. This scene took place for us on Sunday. We’ve had house guests, back to back cases of sickness, and I decided now was a great time to spice things up a little. Stocking the cabinets with pumpkin flavored foods adds to the fun and brings me that child like joy!

So, when the weather gets chilly and the leaves start crunching at your feet, you know where to run!

Drop a comment and let me know if I’ve forgotten something great. I love a good Trader Joe’s find!

Pumpkin spice and everything nice. I had my first PSL last week, and I’m more than ready for a drop in temperature! This Thompson Pocket Pullover Sweater in Rainbow Stripe was just marked down to $56.25 (reg. $75) at Nordstrom and Madewell! It’s brand new and super cozy! For reference, I am wearing my normal size XS.

Based on customer reviews, I ordered one size down, and they are a perfect fit. These J. Crew Button Front Shorts are on a mega sale right now! Use code SUNSET for an extra 40% off! Shipping is FREE for J. Crew Rewards Members (just sign up).

JEANS

Great stretch with a hidden elastic band in the waist that keeps them in place. I’m new to the Wit & Wisdom brand, and these Luxe Touch High Waist Skinny Ankle Jeans fit like a glove.

SHOES

These Linea Paolo Felicia Wedge Booties are just THE BEST. They don’t go one sale, but they’re absolutely worth paying full price.

Get ready to kick your sweatshirt game up a notch! So soft, so comfy, and your new favorite throw-on-and-go fall look. This Caslon Cozy Print Sweatshirt was just marked down to $29.40 (reg. $49) at Nordstrom! Shipping and returns are FREE.

SHOES

 Adidas (use code SPORT30)|  Tillys | Bloomingdale’s | Amazon | Finish Line

JEANS

Great stretch with a hidden elastic band in the waist that keeps them in place. I’m new to the Wit and Wisdom brand, and these Luxe Touch High Waist Skinny Ankle Jeans have me hooked.

Look what just arrived at my door! The kick that’s going to take me through fall! These Adidas Swift Run Sneakers are exactly what I was hoping for — more beige/tan than pink.

Amazon (free shipping), Tillys (free shipping), and Finish Line ($7 shipping) have several sizes of this shoe marked down, and that’s HUGE NEWS because this color is sold out in almost all sizes at Nordstrom and Macy’s.

I normally wear a size 8 and ordered a 7.5 based on customer reviews. I am glad I did because they fit great with plenty of room in the toe.

Check Nordstrom for the most accurate idea of what this shoe will look like. I found that each website resembles a slightly different color. Hopefully my pictures will help as well!

Other stores worth checking: Nordstrom | Adidas | Macy’s | Tillys | Bloomingdale’s | Amazon | Finish Line

I am debating if I should grab a backup because I love this suit so much! J. Crew is offering an extra 50% off my Scalloped Ruffle Bikini with code WEARNOW. The top comes out to $18.49 (reg. $62) and the bottoms are $9.99 (reg. $52)!

As a visual, I was floating around the lazy river at the JW Marriott Orlando Grande Lakes last week, and I received compliments on my suit the whole way around. I would call that a WIN for this bikini! 😉

For reference, I wear size small in both pieces. Shipping is FREE for Rewards members (just sign up).

Target has the cutest, best fitting tank tops by A New Day ON SALE for $5! They are a nice weight, good length, and if you size up they’re just perfect! As a reference, I am wearing a medium, but could have also done a small. I don’t like clothing that hugs me too tight. These were not on sale in store as of today, so get your orders in NOW because they will.sell.out.online!

I purchased 3 (Animal Print, Polka Dot and White).

• Animal Print Any Day Tank
• Polka Dot Any Day Tank
• Striped Any Day Tank

Solid colors are 2 for $14

Soft as butter, this Bobeau high low top is marked down in black and ivory at Nordstrom! The material is nice and thick allowing it to drape well. Size down if in-between.

Treasure and Bond Slides

Pink Native Audrey Shoes

Public Access to the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is LIVE! The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is filled with all new baby gear that is marked down for the first time! I’ve rounded up several top baby products not to miss…

Nuna RAVA Convertible Car Seat $374.90 (reg. $449.99)

This dream car seat is the Cadillac of car seats. The simple, practical and stylish design includes hidden cup holders, ventilation panels, flame retardant fabric, and is intended for birth through toddlerhood. The adjustable style allows kids up to 50 pounds to ride back-facing longer than many other seats do.

 Nuna MIXX Stroller $499.90 (reg. $669.95)

This stroller offers rear- and forward-facing seat options, a lightweight design and easy open/close. 

Stokke Tripp Trapp Chair, Baby Set, Cushion & Tray Set $253.90 (reg. $339)

My absolute favorite BABY gadget! These chairs are advertised to grow with your child from their first bite of food into adulthood. They are easy to clean and highly adjustable. The cushion washes up great, and the chair can be used with or without it. The 5 point baby harness is not pictured on the Nordstrom website, but it is included, and I’ve attached a picture below…

• Ages 6 months to adult
• Holds up to 300 lb.
• Includes high chair, five-point safety harness, baby backrest and rail, cushion and tray

Here’s what two look like in our kitchen. My kids have moved out of the baby attachments…

Little Giraffe Luxe Baby Blanket $59.90 (reg. $92)

Little Giraffe blankets are incredibly soft, handy for strollers, great for snuggling, or playtime on the floor.

Waffle Bun Headband $8.90 (reg. $14)

These are as soft as they come, very popular and I love the new bun style.

Noodle & Boo Nursery Essential Gift Set $29.90 (reg. $45)

Everything a new mom needs to pamper her bundle of joy!

The Nordstrom Anniversary Sale is open to shop!! Now is a great time to pick up kids fall fashion and gear. This sale tops all others because it has merchandise that just rolled out instead of past season merchandise that you would normally see in a sale. I’ve outlined some kids clothing and shoes you don’t want to miss.

Keep in mind, Nordstrom offers FREE shipping and FREE returns on everything. This sale is very popular and many items sell out. Check back if you missed something because they do restocks periodically.

The North Face Mossbud Swirl Reversible Water Repellent Heatseeker Jacket $66.90 (reg. $90)

Water-resistant, reversible and super soft — This jacket is PERFECTION! It comes in sizes 2t-6.

Joe’s The Markie Tulip Hem Skinny Jeans $25.90 (reg. $39)

When in doubt, buy Joe’s Jeans! These are available in girls size 8-16.

Like mother like daughter. We all know that Zella makes the best leggings.

Zella Girls High/Low Track Jacket $38.90 (reg. $59)

Ultragirl Princess Bow Mary Jane $39.90 (reg. $65)

Bubblegum-scented and topped with a glittery crown!

Tea Collection Ruffle Sleeve Stripe Dress $25.90 (reg. $39.50)

Everything about this dress screams buy me, and it might be one of my new favorite Tea pieces.

Sam Edelman Kendall Bethany Boot $39.90 (reg. $64)

My daughter has been asking for her first pair of tall boots, and these might just hit the mark!

Vintage Zip Hoodie $28.90 (reg. $44)

This jacket ranks at the top of my list for boys items! It reminds me of my childhood and looks super soft.

Under Armour Pennant Pants $19.90 (reg. $30)

These are so good and hard to find on sale! We have been buying them every year and love the fit.

The North Face Peril Glacier Microfleece Track Jacket $32.90 (reg. $45)

This jacket a great weight for multiple seasons and made with a soft, pill-resistant fleece!

Under Armor ColdGear Fleece Shorts $19.90 (reg. $30)

I prefer a nice basic short over the more flashy prints, and these look great!

Converse Chuck Taylor All Star 2V Leather Sneaker $24.90 (reg. $40)

Black + Brown + Leather <3 I love the look of these Chuck Taylor sneakers. They come in toddler sizes 4-6.

Tucker + Tate Zipper T-Shirt $15.90 (reg. $25)

The zipper mouth and camo print make the dinosaur on this T-shirt almost as cool as your little dude.

Vans Old Skool Skate Sneaker $26.90 (reg. $39.95)

Most Kids Patagonia Items are sold out, but it’s worth checking back frequently for restocks.
