This week I had a chance to browse through Mom’s Best Fall Back To School magazine.

I loved so much of it and I think you will too!

It’s packed full of great articles for all you Mom’s out there! 

It also has great recipes, children’s fashion ideas, and tutorials.

I am dying to make this granola recipe, perfect for fall!

And I love these free back to school sticker labels for lunches and notebooks.

I am also excited to print out this free ice cream chore trainer chart.

How cute is that?

Pretty sure Em will love it and you can’t beat free!

I am also so flattered to be included in the issue, sharing some of my favorite fall items!

You should definitely check this issue out.

It is a goodie!

My family was in town for the weekend.

It was an absolute blast.

 I love hanging out with my parents and my 16 year old little sister, there really is nothing better than having family around.

We did lots of shopping, eating, and playing.

We even hit up the Park City slides, roller coaster, and zip lines.

My Mom is still here until Wednesday, so the fun is not completley over yet.

She has already organized Emory’s closets, my pantry, and the bathroom drawers…love her.

Now I just need to convince her to never leave!

I am pretty obsessed with polka dots in fashion right now.

I am dying to get my hands on some polka dot pants, and any polka dot shirt gets me pretty darn excited!

Although I love them in fashion, I think they have to be used carefully in interiors.

You can’t get classier than Oh Joy’s nursery polka dots…

And I would love to add a few in Emory’s room/the nursery.

A wall decal would probably be too much with the stripes, but I think a lamp could be perfect.

Or how about this pendant light…love.

Have you added any polka dots to your interiors?

Or are you letting that trend stay in fashion?

Sometimes smaller is better, right?

Seems like an odd statement, but sometimes having just enough room makes it easier to design and requires effective storage solutions.

This 84 sq.ft nursery featured on Apartment Therapy is not only adorable but fully functional.

Although I am sure they would love a traditional closet, their creative 15 wall-mounted storage bins are mighty cool.

I also love how she hung a fabric panel behind the crib to cover up an unnecessary door. Covering a door or not, this is a great solution to inexpensively add some color and pattern.

This teeny space manages to have a crib, changing table/dresser, twin bed, bookshelf, wall storage, and hanging space for clothing.

Living in a small space also requires you to purge any unnecessary items, allowing you to only keep things you really love or need.

I think that might be my favorite part about living in my small condo, if something new comes in, something old must go out!

Do you find small spaces inspiring or does it just make your head hurt?
