Monday Morning Wrap Up

October 26, 2026 by Courtney Leave a Comment

Good morning. I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Loving the crisp cool mornings we are having. Our daughter was home for fall break last week and we made the most of every single minute. Here is a look back with our Monday Morning Wrap Up.

A FAVORITE SPOT

leipers fall break

Our whole family loves spending time in Leiper’s Fork. We seem to always run into someone we know which makes it feel like such a small town. This time of year is just so beautiful. I love the seasons and fall is exceptional in Tennessee.

My daughter has never passed up a coffee spot (ever). This pop up one is just darling By the way, this Parke sweatshirt is on our gift guide. Riley loves it.

NEW YORK CITY

We enjoyed a beautiful week in NYC. Both kids had never been so it was so much fun to see it though their eyes. I hadn’t been in years so it was really fun to be back. I’ll do a wrap up post sharing some of our favorite spots soon. I have to give major credit to my daughter. That girl navigated NYC and the subway system like she had been doing it for years. I love seeing the independence shine through.

This peacoat was a win for the trip. The mornings and evenings were really cold so I was thankful I brought it. We really savored this trip with our new adult children. Grady has been working really hard so it was nice to see both kids takes some time off.

BEAUTIFUL STREETS

My son has reached the age where he no longer wants to be in photos so you’ll be seeing a lot of this smiling face. Wishing these pumpkins would magically show up on my front steps. So pretty.

My niece lived in NYC for a bit so she gave us a great idea of spots we would love. I’ll share those when I do a complete post. The nice thing is that both kids are foodies and enjoyed stopping for yummy food and coffee along the way.

A WEEK WELL SPENT

We flew home with a sunset view for the majority of the flight. It was just beautiful. Really grateful that this trip worked out. And kudos to my daughter who had to get up bright and early the next morning to head back to ND.

FANTASTIC GARLAND

In other news, this garland is so good. We are not decorating but I wanted to show you the thickness. It actually comes in a very compact box (ideal for storing) so I was a bit worried. But it’s a 10/10. Very realistic looking, nice color, and you it has some serious body to it. You just need to play with it after it’s been in the box. Not hard to do and a great look. I always recommend the 9′ especially for stairs and mantles. Also ideal to go down the center of a table.

SATURDAY SHOPPING

  • quilted jacket
  • twig trees (we have and love)
  • our dining room rug
  • classic dress

This week’s Saturday Shopping was short and sweet but covered a lot of ground. See it all here. I’m off to plan book club. I am hosting this month. We read Mother-In-Law by Sally Hepworth. Did you read it?

Our place along 30A will be decorated for Christmas soon. I can’t wait to see it! If you are craving a beautiful beach getaway (my favorite time to go) we would love to host you.

Nothing like a little bit of Saturday Shopping posted on a Sunday. We flew in from NYC late last night so here we are. Fall break was one of our best ones yet and so happy we were able to do a family trip. Waking up very tired but so grateful for the memories made. Continue Reading …

Happy Saturday. We had a very slow morning over here. It was lovely to ease into the day. It’s down right chilly today which feels wonderful. My heart has been in San Clemente, CA where my sister lives. The brush fires have been so scary. So far so good but many have it been as Continue Reading …
