As usual I’m linking up with the fabulous Christina, Karli, & Amanda for all things Friday so let’s get to it! //one// About a month ago I went to a local nursery and bought some mums for several pots that, if we’re being honest, the flowers had died a long time ago. What is it about the mum that just screams fall? //two// In yesterday’s post I showed this picture of me wearing a pair of Kendra Scott inspired earrings. I not only got one pair, but 2 others in a different color as well as a pair of hassle earrings which I’m still undecided on. I got them from AliExpress.com and they were something like…

First of all I want to say THANK YOU to everyone who sent sweet thoughts, prayers, and condolences on the loss of my father in-law. His funeral was Tuesday and the thing we heard from people over and over again was what a self-less and kind person he was and it is so true. We are slowly getting back into the routine of things around here and there’s a sense of peace that we didn’t have before. God is good all the time. Now let’s get to my 5 from this week! //one// I may not like the PSL or any other pumpkin flavored food for that matter, but it doesn’t…

Whose ready for a 3 day weekend? Me, me, me!  //one// Although Labor day marks the close of Summer and pools everywhere, we may be taking one last swim with temps like these. I’m jealous when I read about some of the fall like weather many of you are already having and I’m really wishing for some cooler days.  //two// With fall just around the corner, I’m so glad I found this tutorial on Pinterest because I’m never quite sure how cuff my jeans with booties. Now I know! via //three// Ben’s front tooth had been wiggly for quite some time and of course he (and daddy) pulled it out…

I’m linking up with Liz, Amanda, & Karli to get our weekend started off right with 5 things from this past week. //one// After our little vacation here, it was time to get back on the healthy(er) eating train. I tried a strawberry greek yogurt smoothie the other day for lunch and it was pretty good and only 250 calories. You have to be careful with these things because sometimes with the sugar and calories in some smoothies you might as well be eating pizza. //two// Anyone else obsessed with the cards at the Target dollar spot? I can’t help myself. Really. I have way more than I need, but I can’t stop buying new…

Let’s get right to it! //one// This summer has absolutely flown by. I thought we had a few more weeks left until I really sat down and looked at the calendar and realized Ben starts school a week from Tuesday. Hopefully I’ll still be able to get to most of the things on this list. //two// Every morning when I get ready Jack watches me use my eye lash curler and is infatuated. So when he found his brother’s play-doh tool, he went straight for my eyeballs. To his defense, it did kind of look like an eye lash curler. //three// How good do these look? The perfect twist on a classic…
