get in your car and just drive







Things I love about yesterday. Simple thrifted outfit. Temple dedication. Hubs quietly whispering, "Do you want to take a drive with me after?" Long drives to see the fall colors. Me talking the hub's ear off the first half, the running out of things to say the second half, so we both just soak in the peacefulness and fall-ness. Can't get a decent picture of the prettiest views. Vibrant yellow Aspens. So pretty! Go see them. Now. And while you are driving around. Convince Mr. Hubs to take a few photos of your cute new thrifted outfit. Then Mr. Hubs will laugh really hard while playing photographer and tell you you're not being "you" then the awkward photos come out. Darn it.
 
Family Sunday dinners. Gooey cinnamon roll cake. Find the recipe here. The cake was gone before I could even take a picture. Hearing my sister say, "Yummmm. Oh this is so good. This is even better than a cinnamon roll."
 
 
 
And of course I couldn't keep these gems outta the post. Classic photo outtakes. Sorry Hubs. I know you didn't want me taking your picture. At least that's your excuse.
 

I don't even have an excuse for my expression. How 'bout this will be my, "don't look at the  chocolate stains on my white shirts. Can't even keep them dang melted chocolate chips outta my clothes" look. I may or may not have had a very good clean eating week. 'Lil Piggy.
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Happy Monday! I hope you all have a spledid week! Here's to more leaves changing, pulling out the fall wardrobe, heathier cooking, and a cleaner house week.

um, excuse me, but has anyone ever told you you look like....

Lucy Hale?
Aria?
That one girl from that one show?
 
"Yeah...I get that a lot..."
 
 
For the past two years I have gotten comments like this from random people. Complete strangers, coworkers, friends. And it seems that the more popular the show gets, the more people seem to comment. I've never seen "Pretty Little Liars" myself, but apparently a lot of people have. Haha. Dug up a picture from over the summer and a picture of this Aria girl. Celebrity look a like- yay or nay?

Oh, and I've been updating my wardrobe. Trying hard to let go of stuff I didn't touch this summer and treat myself to a few new pieces, thrifted of course. I'll be busy this weekend tearing out shoulder pads, stitching, changing sleeves, and washing. I  was trying to explain to Mr. Hubs last night why I have so much fun thrifting. 
"It's like a treasure hunt babe! Trying to find things that have some potential, fixing them up, and getting a really great deal!"
"....Uh-huh...." Was his response
"Are you already falling asleep??? Are you sleepy already? Huh babe?" 
"............................."
"OK, well, goodnight! Love you!"
"...love...you...too....."
 
Sometimes I'm a pest, sometimes he's a pest. Like when I'm not even fully awake and he's already tickling my feet. We are so perfect for each other.

 I went to Kohl's today to grab some nice pants for Mr. Hubs. Of course I found myself in the ladies' department way before the mens'.  This little gem just kept getting marked down and marked down. I bought it at $4.26, almost 100% off.
 
 
 
 
$4.26 for a smancy watch, and 11 bucks for a pair of nice work pants for the hubs, (4 stores later and I finally find exactly what we needed, thank you Kohl's) the shopping fairy and I are good friends.
 
 
 
 
 
Have a great weekend my friends! TGIF! Any fun plans?
