WEEKEND RECAP

Reagan and I picked Matthew up at the airport on Friday afternoon and we stopped and grabbed dinner on the way home for a lazy night in. It was much needed and I think we were all out by 9:30 or so. 

Saturday we did stuff around the house and started Friends on Netflix! We finished The Office a couple of weeks ago and finally decided on Friends next. The weather was nice and cool early Saturday morning so we spent a good bit in the backyard. This sweet girl loves playing outside, but always comes and sits in my lap for a little bit before going and playing some more. It's so cute!

Saturday afternoon we went to Home Goods to look around at their fall decor and I ended up finding the lamps that I have been searching forever for. Thankfully they had two so we scooped them up before they were gone again. I wanted mercury lamps for our bedroom and love the way these look!
They came with a tan lamp shade, but I swapped them out with white lamp shades we already had at home. Here's a picture I snapped on my iPhone, not the best lighting, but look at those lamps!!

I tried out a new recipe Saturday night for dinner, lasagna soup. It was a fun twist on a classic recipe and we both liked it! I'll share the recipe soon.

Sunday after church we went to our favorite Mexican place for lunch, before going home and taking a long nap. It was a rainy afternoon which made for the perfect nap!

Sunday afternoon my BIL, Nathan, called and asked if we wanted to meet them for church and dinner that night, and we quickly agreed! It was so fun getting to see everyone and going to dinner after. I'll never turn down a trip to Cookeville. ;)

Reagan's Halloween costume came in and she looks ADORABLE in it!!

FRIDAY VOL. 31

It had been almost two week since I last blogged...oops. Hopping on here to share some recent happenings in our world.

- We went to a Pred's pre-season game, sadly they lost, but it was still a good game! Matthew was like a kid on Christmas Eve that whole day because hockey is back and we were going to see them play lol.

- Now that football and hockey are back we have signed up for Sling TV again. I think I mentioned it earlier this year, but we got rid of cable. We rarely watch anything on cable, other than football and hockey, so paying for a ton of channels just didn't make sense, or in my grandfather's words, "a lick of sense". With Sling TV, you don't sign any contracts, just pay month-by-month. So after the Pred's season ended back in June we didn't sign up for it again until September. We love it!

- My youngest two sisters played soccer for their middle school this year, and they made it to the championship game. They didn't win, but they still had a really good season! So we still celebrated with some Chick-fil-A after!


 - It has still been pretty warm around here, but the humidity isn't as bad, so we've been spending a good bit of time outside. Reagan loves the backyard!

- Last Saturday I took a short nap and work up to see these two napping across the living room too. How cute are they?!

- That night I went to a girls game night at a girl's house from church. It was a lot of fun. I haven't played apples to apples since we lived in Cookeville.

- We ordered Reagan a new harness and she loves it, and we do it! The one we had ordered a few months ago was too big for her and she kept slipping out of it.

- This past Sunday Matthew and I both had to leave for work trips in different places. He was headed to Chicago and I was headed to Rhode Island. Our flights left at the same time (after mine got delayed a little) so we had ourselves a little romantic date at the airport, kidding, we were hustlin through the airport to make it through security.

I had a layover in Baltimore and didn't get to eat dinner before I left, so I had my first Auntie Anne's experience. The pretzel dog...definitely worth all the calories.

- Rhode Island was very small, and I felt like we had to drive though every single neighborhood just to get anywhere, but it did have some small charming little towns. Federal Hill was definitely a favorite.


- One last thing. Recently I organized all my apps on my phone into folders, and LOVE it. Scrolling through trying to find a certain app was beginning to get on my nerves, so this is working out great. I also like being able to see more of my wallpaper.

I'll be back next week to share our 3rd annual Friendsgiving invitation!

FALL BUCKET LIST | 2017


Happy first day of fall! 
The high for today is 88, but I'm hoping the temperatures will drop over the next couple of weeks so it can actually feel like fall.

My fall bucket list for this year looks pretty similar to last year's fall bucket list, but that's just because we didn't get to cross everything off. So here's to hoping we can cross more off this year!!

ESSENTIAL PLANNER

About a month ago I entered a contest to win a planner from my friend Kelsey over at Peacock Paper & Gifts and I won! I had been searching for what kind of planner I was going to use for 2018 and when Kelsey launched her new line I was immediately drawn to the Weekly Essential Planner in the blush gingham color....BLUSH GINGHAM. Can it get any cuter than that?! So when I found out that I had won the contest I entered I was pretty ecstatic!

 
One of the things that really caught my attention with this planner is that it comes with a couple of travel planning pages, contact pages, budgeting pages,, and it has tabs (all the praise hand emojis for tabs!!!!!). Also, a huge fan of the gold metal binding, blush and gold are literally two of my favorite colors together!


I chose the weekly one because that layout works best for me in this stage of life, and I'm really looking forward to receiving it in a couple of months, in plenty of time to start planning for 2018!

Kelsey also has a Daily Planner, which I think would work wonders for me in a different stage of life in the future, and another cover design: Navy Dot!

This post was not sponsored, I am just really proud of Kelsey and extremely excited about receiving my new planner in a couple of months!
