Best Children's Books for Fall

Hi, friends! Hope your week is off to a great start! We're on round 2 of strep throat for August and a doozy of a round 1 for Oskar over here, which started off at 4:00am this morning. Back-to-school season and slightly cooler temperatures to blame, but man, oh man. I forgot how much I hate this cold and flu season. We've been healthy all summer long but have clearly pushed our luck, because I feel like we're doomed for the next handful of months. Blech.

So, along with all of this, we're slowly coming to the realization that fall is coming, whether we summer-lovers like it or not. We're jotting down weekend hayrides and apple picking on our calendars. We do love a good theme and I wanted to share some of our favorite fall books we have in our library for our boys, or ones lined up in our queue to add to our traditional October 1st basket we give our little monsters with all the fall things included. These give me all the comfy cozy feels, and I love cuddling up to read them together. Halloween pajamas a plus.

 Hope you love them as much as we do, and if you have any favorites not listed here, please share!  I love illustrations just as much as the story itself, all all of these display so nicely and bring the fall inside. Off to read a few of these with my little sicky, who needs all the cuddles this morning.

August Amazon Favorites


Reversible Vegan Leather Tote: This is a thing of beauty, right here. It fits my work laptop perfectly, and I’ll be using it as my personal item on my flight to Germany next week. It’s completely reversible and has a wristlet on the inside that I’ll be using for my Passport, credit cards, and cash. I absolutely love this carryall, especially for $25.

Minimalistic Diamond Bar Earrings: These are so dainty and pretty and can be worn with anything. My favorite part is that they’re delicate enough that I can sleep with them in and they don’t bother me. 

Cast Iron Skillet: A little bit of a random find here, but this cast iron skillet has changed the way we cook. We make the BEST cuts of meat with this by pan searing, then placing the whole skillet into the oven to finish cooking through. Here’s a link with lots of dinner ideas to try, all made with a cast iron skillet.

Silk Pillow Case: This was a birthday present for my sister, but I’m seriously coveting this myself. Have you heard of all of the benefits a silk pillow case brings? They help prevent wrinkles, dry skin, and frizzled hair, and aid in deeper, more restorative sleep. Just look at the reviews on this. Yes please.

Rosehip Oil: This was a Prime Day purchase for me, but I’m back to sing its praises. My skin is transforming through the use of this. Google search the benefits of Rosehip Oil, and I guarantee you'll be sold, too. My skin has never looked better, truly.

Lucky Basel Booties: I found these at TJ Maxx and just loved them. Perfect stacked heel, perfect fall shade. I bought them and brought them home with me, and then found them way cheaper on Amazon. For some reason, the size 8.5 is marked crazily low right now, so if that’s your size, run!

Rose Gold Carry On: I got this for my trip to Germany, and just love the rose gold color, 4 spinning wheels, zippered expander, and the 3-1-1 bag included for liquids. This meets the required size for a carry-on, so I’ll be bringing this on board with me.

Drape Front Cozy Cardigan: Comfy, cozy, goodness. I’m a cardigan hoarder and added this one to my collection. It drapes perfectly over a cami, and looks great accessorized with a gold drop necklace. 

Furiously Happy: This book came highly recommended, so I scooped it up for my plane ride. Can’t wait for some quiet, uninterrupted reading. 

Leave In Conditioner: This has changed my hair so much for the better. It smooths and creates healthy looking locks without weighing them down. Perfect for fine hair that tangles easily.

Adidas Slip On Sneakers: These were a splurge purchase for me. They feel like you’re walking on clouds, and slip on and off so easily. I see myself living in these for the rest of summer and fall.

Back to School with Inchbug

*This post is brought to you by Inchbug. All thoughts and opinions are my own*

 Happy long weekend, friends! Labor Day really snuck up on me this year, but I’m still hanging on to summer for dear life and not letting go. As we navigate back-to-school, new classrooms, and packed lunches, we’re cheers-ing to these Orbit labels by Inchbug that are personalized, CUTE, dishwasher safe, BPA free, reusable, and versatile. They stretch and snugly fit around bottles, sippy cups, and snack containers—we’ve tried them all! No more labeling things with permanent marker that washes off over time, or with adhesive labels that come off in the dishwasher and end up in the bottom for you to dig out. These come in a variety of colors, 3 different fonts, and several emojis that you can add if you so choose.



What I really love is that Inchbug has safety in mind. Kids names are not prominently or boldly displayed for strangers at public places to be able to read from a distance. They’re subtle for this reason. We use these for school, of course, but also when heading to the library or the park to keep our cups and containers from getting mixed up with any others. These are also great at home when one kid is sick to keep their cup labeled and set apart—which is exactly what we’re doing this week with August’s strep throat diagnosis. 



Go to www.inchbug.com to check out their Orbit labels, and lots of other fun products they offer. Use code BIGDEAL through the long weekend for 20% off your order! 

Wishing you all a safe and fun long weekend! And happy labeling!
