The WEEKend

We kicked off our "midweek weekend" with a play date with Mr. Jameson! Hung out at their house for a few hours then took a trip to target. Oh and a trip it was! It was both their first times riding in the ...what do you call them? Kiddy cart?? Anyway, either way...stuffed the cart cover in that thing!  

I really branched out here! I mainly cook with gorund turkey or chicken. Hardly EVER with anything else, when it happens, Zach cooks it..and he's not home whole a heck of a lot these days. I cooked ribs people...In the oven. And Boiled corn on the cob, salad and these beans, Zachs favorite. 

Credit given where credit is due in this house, ZACH DELIVERED A BABY AT WORK!!!!!

Crazy, right? Some people go their whole career without this ever happening to them. So incredibly proud of him!!! 

So yes, I'm saying I didnt cook chicken for a special dinner for him when he got home!:)

 

And not every night comes with a dessert boo 

Hot carmel fondue!

 Continuing our and when I say our I mean Stella and myself WEEKend, I finally purchased apple cider Keurigs!

And since I did such a dapper job with the dishes....

Yeah, somehow melted this guy in the dishwasher. What a bummer this thing was so cute! We we had to get Stella something else to drink out of for Halloween...Now she wont put it down.

My Favorite House Spots

This past March we moved into our new home.  And as we all know they are ALWAYS a work in progress and NEVER done! But it sure is fun shopping, collecting and decorating them, isn't it? I picked out a few of my favorite places throughout the house to share with you.

The Kitchen

Cabinet space, Cabinet space and more cabinet space! There is so much of it some are empty!

A favorite within a favorite, the Keuring area

The Fireplace/Mantle

Even with the two cluster baskets of toys adding to the decor... I love having a fire (fake or not) in the fireplace and a mantle to decorate!

toy baskets: tj maxx, white storage box, brick fitter carpet bumper, homemade, thanks dad!

Stellas Play Room

This is the area where a formal dining yeah right table should go.  Its the perfect size to put stuff like this adorable teepee and kiddy table in. This room, although a fave, is defiantly a work in progress.

My what I like to call Pinterest wall

This is the wall lining one side of the upper half of the stairs

Stellas Bathroom

These cutie little owls and washcloths HAD to make my list!

My Room

A few of these rustic pieces sum up the decor for my room. Outside of the headbuard my Dad made, found here, these are a room fave.

The rocking chair corner

This is in Stellas room.  Its so sweet, and rarely used these days, kinda hard to sit and rock a toddler :(

pillow, blanket, clock, ottoman: home goods, chair

And leaving you with a bit of cuteness of course. Someone is learning how to play peek-a-boo!

What's More Fun Then Fall?

Really, though? Whats better then fall?

I'm very excited for the weather to start changing and bust out all my cute boots that have been collecting dust! 

I seen this little guy and thought it was so fun and should most defiantly be printed or recreated in your own way and achieved this fall!

My top three:

1. Going to the pumpkin patch {{with my family}}

2. Trick-or-Treat {{for the first time as the parent not the kid!}}

3. Drink fancy coffee drinks {{anywhere and everywhere, I love something hot to drink on cold days!}}

Ok...top 5!

4. Have a photo shoot in a leaf pile {{of my Stella girl of course!}}

5. Decorate (carve/paint) a pumpkin {{can't wait to smother paint all over Stella's hands and let her decorate a pumpkin!}}

Bringing out all of my fall clothing better be able to happen soon or I'm going to wear it anyway! And be one hot sad girl in a long sleeve and pair of boots in 90' weather! But I can't wait to wear this cutie I picked up the other day, or stick Stells little baby foot in these guys!!!

Think fall and maybe it'll happen ;)

I'll leave you with something a little blurry, but oh so sweet .
