Happy Friday! + weekly roundup

It's finally Friday my lovelies... happy weekend! Do you ever have weeks that just seem to escape you? In thinking of this little recap I realized, I have no idea what actually happened. It was a whirlwind of too little sleep, too many hours spent at the computer and 7 Harry Potter movies (which is probably where all of the time went...oops). Last month I participated in Lara Casey's #intentionalaugust (a motivational movement aimed at living purposefully). While I wasn't intentional every moment of every day (and this week, had it taken place in August, would have been the ultimate fail) it gave me something to focus on/strive for. Lara has deemed September #savorseptember (read about it here) and I couldn't be more on board! This weekend I'll be trying to savor all of life's beautiful and blessed moments, won't you join me?

Here's what I've been loving:
