Roast Beast
It was such a beautiful day on Monday that we went on a walk after work around our neighborhood to see all the lights. This house was our favorite, it’s an older man’s house and he puts them all up himself. It’s so nice. My mom always calls putting up lights on your house “a…

Golden Holiday
11 solid months of daily picture taking down with one more to go. I had some birthday money burning a hole in my pocket and I knew Britt could help remedy that. Had a fantastic girls night with my little personal shopper. We showed up wearing the same skirt. As I was uploading photos I…

Catching Fire
Getting ready for the big Thanksgiving feast. Wanted to get my shopping done a little early. On the phone, taking care of business. We’ve done it! After a long process we are all fired up with our new gas fireplace. I had to zoom in for the shot because around the fireplace is incomplete and…

The pictures of the day really went downhill after Monday’s. We will have to up our game going forward. For those who didn’t know (which is probably…

Hocus Pocus
We’ve had the most beautiful weather this week and have tried to get in as many evening walks as we could before the weather inevitably changes. We got our drapes in! (Well one set, waiting on the other two). We still need lots of pieces for this room but we’re getting there slowly but surely.…

Falling Leaves
We went on an autumn walk on Monday. Autumn is pretty close in the running for my favorite season next to summer. If someone handed me a slice of pumpkin bread right now then I’d say Autumn takes the lead. Here’s the Fall version of our front yard tree. We babysat a few…
