Happy first fall Friday y’all!

Here are some things I loved this week!

Trader Joe’s Frozen Chicken Pot Stickers

Obsessed with these. We finished two bags this week. The key is to sear them on high heat and give them lots of space in the pan. I tried them with soy sauce and it was definitely too salty. Teriyaki sauce was much tastier.

If I Were an Animal

This is a kids show on Netflix, but it’s absolutely adorable. I was definitely way more into it than Baby M. I hesitate with the live animal shows. 9/10 times you see an animal being eaten, separated from it’s mother, or being trampled. This show is all fluff and cute critters. Will absolutely be watching this instead of Puffin Rock from now on (still love you, Oona and Baba).

Nike Sneakers

I didn’t realize how badly I needed new sneakers until I got new sneakers. Holy crap, my feet feel so much better. Or rather, I don’t notice my feet at all. Before I got a new pair, my feet were so sore at the end of the day. I totally made the rookie mistake of buying WHITE sneakers with a 10 MONTH OLD but I guess I can’t be perfect all the time, right? They already have a nice brown tinge from coffee, oatmeal and spit-up Puffs.

Fall Candles

Love, love, love. I’ve been waiting to bring this bad boy back out. Nothing signifies the change of seasons more concretely than whipping out the assigned scented candle. I have a post here on how to make your house nice and cozy for autumn, on a budget. Check it out and let me know what you think!
