As luck would have it, I began to feel a little under the weather yesterday and with my 6 hour drive to Nashville today, things didn't seem any better. Unlike the promise of Nordstrom who has stated that they will not be putting up Christmas decorations until the actual holiday- I sang my butt off to the likes of Dean, Bing, Mariah, and Harry. Needless to say- Linden was more than amused when I noticed she was watching me sing more than watching her movie in the back (as well were the passing drivers!!). 
Mad for plaid
Since fall is my favorite time of the year (besides my obvious obsession with Christmas), I think there is nothing better to showcase it with than a little plaid in the closet. Either it be a scarf, tights, or full blown dress- the plaid has made me mad!!

hot spot
Dress me head to toe in polka dots!! I love them! There is something so innocent yet insanely flirty about a polka dot. Spotted (get it?!?) everywhere from runways to chic street wear- this is a classic that can't be messed with. If, I mean when, I have that holiday party to go to- you'll be sure to see me in dots- gloves and all :)

As I mentioned, Linden and I made a 6 hour road trip. Any trip with a 16 month, is never fun BUT here are my basics to make a well rounded trip.
- Baby doll with bottle- any doll will do but let me suggest to get a soft body, hard extremities- this way, they cuddle and chew on it.
We have a corolle doll- perfect size, perfect doll.
2. wooden teether- these are organic and they come in a variety of shapes and sizes depending on
which tooth is breaking ground.
3. elmo video- I was desperate and alone and yes... I picked up an Elmo video. We only have it in
the car for long trips and let me tell you, she loves it! I have heard that Elmo is a rock star in a baby's world and I have now witnessed it.
4. ella's organic baby food- Like I tell our babysitters- when it doubt, feed. Now I certainly don't suggest just handing these puppies over mid drive because more than likely the majority of it is gonna land in your car, on their head, in their eye, and yes... all over that dang buckle on the carseat. So- you may have to pull over but it's quite convenient. For a 6 hour trip, we only stopped once--- not too shabby, huh?
So there you have it- I'm leaving you with a "must-see" site, it's all about packaged products. Pretty clever these little suckers...
Here's a sneak peek:
