IMG_4088Good morning!  I am so excited for this weekend.  We have a three day weekend (school conferences Monday) and very few plans.  After the busy week we’ve had, I’m ready for a break.  I hope to watch lots of football and Hallmark movies and get caught up on laundry and chores.  As you may have seen on Instagram, I kicked off the week with a dumb mistake.  I bought all of our Halloween candy because I was excited to put out my platter and big witch bowl.  I know I’ll end up buying more before the trick or treaters arrive.

IMG_4106Emery is getting these monogrammed saddle pads for Christmas.  I had some free time this week to put her initials on them and I am pleased as punch with how they turned out.  I can’t wait for her to open these Christmas morning.

IMG_4126The baby orders keep pouring in!  These little onesies are heading to Denver for a little girl named Dylan.  Ugh.  Makes my ovaries hurt.  But then Emery greets me with an eye roll this morning and I snap out of it.  Seriously, her tween behavior is out of control.

IMG_4091My in laws were in town this week, so I zhushed the house with a few fresh flowers.  My favorite arrangement is this pink and green carnation/mum combo in the guest room.  Pink and green will always be my go-to color combination.

IMG_4092Our weather FINALLY feels like fall!  To celebrate, I made a big pot of my turkey chili to be enjoyed after volleyball Wednesday night.  Even though it was a busy weeknight, I pulled out my fun pumpkin bowls and had fun setting the table since my in laws were here.

IMG_4109The bowls are from Crate and Barrel and I use them from October through November.
