In this week’s Love List, the SweetPhi Team is already scoping out Christmas gifts because it’ll be here before we know it! Plus, you can read more to learn about Alyssa’s favorite comfy joggers and the team’s must-have fall shoes.
- We’re already thinking ahead to Christmas! We got our oldest (Ben) a bean bag chair 3 years ago and it went out of stock. All 3 kids love this chair and want to sit on it always, SO, we started looking and found a similar one (it has a little structure which is what we love about it) so we’re getting 2 of these bean bag chairs for the twins for Christmas! Isn’t the Rose color pretty?
- Bridget introduced me to the Instagram account 1000 Hours Outside and I purchased their activity book and it’s lovely! We’ve already done several things (improvised based on ideas from the book, like making boats out of 1/2 gallon containers) and the kids love it! Ben has bookmarked winter activities he wants to do too!
- Recently found out that there are compost services that come pick up compost!! I used to have a compost bin in our basement with worms, but it was a little too much to handle and keep up with with small kids, but composting is good for the environment and helps reduce landfill waste, so I was more than excited to have Nick tell me he found out about these services! We are in Milwaukee and there are two I found, Curby’s Compost and Compost Crusaders.
- Beautiful, and who knew they had voices like THIS? (Ryan Reynolds and Will Farrell)
Bridget’s Picks
- It was my birthday this past weekend and my husband got me tickets to this art exhibit. I am a huge fan of street art, graffiti and all things Banksy! If you’re in the Chicago-land area and get the opportunity to go see this, I highly recommend!
- While we were in Chicago, we ate dinner at Duck Duck Goat. Um, so amazing! And I absolutely love the decor in the restaurant.
- We have these water bottles –> my son and daughter <– for our kids, but my son likes to chew on his straw, so I’ve stocked up on these replacement parts.
- I think we’ve previously talked about Chasing Paper on here and we love a good local shop! But if you’re looking for even more wonderful removable wallpaper options (and plenty of other products), check out another beautiful wallpaper company I just discovered.
Alyssa’s Picks
- I tried this new brand of deodorant from Target and it smells SO good! I also love that the packaging is made with recyclable paper, is plastic free and has clean ingredients!
- I stumbled upon this couples videos on Facebook and there’s not one I haven’t laughed out loud at! They’re so funny!
- Buy these joggers in EVERY color! They are so so so comfy and come in fun colors!
The Team’s Favorite – Fall Shoes
Phi
- I have a serious love of Mule-style shoes. Nick calls them mumps or donkey shoes, lol. Target has these cute black ones (only $24!) or these heeled ones (I have ones in black and tan!) And for a super cute and actually comfy mule that’s a little more pricey, but worth it, these are my go-to.
Bridget
- In the fall, I am all about booties! I especially love a good Chelsea boot like this one. I have a pair similar to the cognac ones and they are perfect for going from day to night. Plus the low heel makes them all-day comfy!
Alyssa
- I love combat boots for fall! I’m loving this style this year. I also always have to have a pair of moccasins for fall/winter like these!
