My fall look this year is leaning toward "professorial." I just love that slightly preppy, casual yet dressy look. Here are my thoughts for some items: Corduroy skirt // Sweater Blazer // houndstooth skirt // button corduroy skirt // wide leg trouser // striped short sleeve sweater // cable knit sweater vest // plaid trousers … Continue reading Fall lookbook
Things my baby loved and a short word of advice.
Photo by Pixabay on Pexels.com There are definitely baby items that I realized after the birth of my son were only recommended because people got $$$ from recommending them. Then, there were products that seemed very pricey that we got as gifts that I totally get why they're pricey, my son loved them! Hopefully, that … Continue reading Things my baby loved and a short word of advice.
Harry Potter potion bottles
One of my favorite Halloween decorations is our potion bottle display. This year I found Harry Potter potion labels and immediately ordered them. I am so happy with the quality, and there are so many different options. They look like they are straight out of the movies, and I love the Harry Potter halloween aesthetic … Continue reading Harry Potter potion bottles
Painting your front door
About two years ago I was going through my Better Homes and Garden magazine and they had a small article on best paint colors for your door. I fell in love with the blue paint they showed and promptly stripped, sanded, and painted my door (it took about 2 weeks because I don't have all … Continue reading Painting your front door
Better than mimosas
What can be better than a mimosa you may ask? Why, a peach bellini! I was wandering around the local liquor store looking for some Veuve (they have a crap champagne selection and nothing is organized well), and I walked past this Stirrings Simple Peach Bellini mix. The packaging got me, it looked so good! … Continue reading Better than mimosas

I failed because I had about 4 purchases I absolutely did not need, but bought anyways. BUT, I … Continue reading No spend August – Update
Free birthday stuff
It's my birthday month, and birthday months mean free stuff! I talked about all the places that give you birthday goodies, and I have taken advantage of a couple this month. My birthday month also coincides with my no spend challenge, so I made sure to just get my birthday goodies without buying anything extra … Continue reading Free birthday stuff
Crockpot Chronicles – Chicken Tacos
I made super yummy chicken tacos last night. This was super easy and leftovers are just as tasty as the night before. Looking at the crockpot picture, I realized it'd be great for the winter months by turning it into a chili with the addition of more chicken broth. But in the meantime, the recipe … Continue reading Crockpot Chronicles – Chicken Tacos
License Plate Renewals
It is time to renew my license plate and TN recently changed their plate design. We went from having one of the prettiest plates to having a blah boring plate. When the plate change happened, I decided it was time to get a specialty plate to benefit an environmental cause. I've narrowed it down to … Continue reading License Plate Renewals
No spend August
For the month of August, I am going to challenge myself (and you) to not spend any money other than necessities (gas, food, shelter, etc.). So, no new clothes, odds and ends, nicknacks, books, new services (such as a new streaming service account. I'm not canceling what we currently have subscriptions to), and no manis/pedis. … Continue reading No spend August
