What We’re Eating This Week
Monday I tried
one of Shay’s recipes – Sausage & Vodka Pasta – and it was so delicious! I accidentally bought the wrong sausage (I
bought link instead of ground), but it was still so, so good! I’ll definitely be trying it next time with
the right sausage, although I can’t imagine it being any better than it already
was!
What I’m Reminiscing About
I have college
football on the brain since we are heading to Athens this weekend, and I’ve
been reminiscing about college football games past… Brian and I have been going
to Athens every year (multiple times per year) to watch our Dawgs play, and
we’ve had so much fun tailgating and partying throughout the years!
Three words –
fringe ankle booties. Or maybe even just
ankle booties in general. I am dying for
a pair of brown ankle booties, and it would be the icing on the cake to have a
pair with fringe. Right now I’m torn
between these two:
What do you
guys think? Top or bottom?
What We’ve Been Up To
A whole lot of
football watching, beer drinking, and fall activities! And I am head over heels for this Not Your
Father’s Root Beer! If you like root
beer then you will love this. I promise.
It’s my new favorite beer for football season.
What I’m Dreading
Cold and flu
season! Jacob has always been a magnet
for illness his entire life, and he pretty much stays sick during the
winter. Last year was the first year that
he wasn’t so bad off, but Olivia was sick several times. She doesn’t seem to get as sick as Jacob did
when he was her age, though. This year
Jacob is at a new school with new germs so I’m praying that it’s not horrible this
year.
What I’m Working On
Getting
everything ready for our yard sale in a couple of weeks. I’m on a cleaning out and purging frenzy. And I have a heap of junk piled up in our new
closet, as well as our living room, and our bedroom… so yeah… ready for that to be over!
What I’m Excited About
Sitting around and enjoying my fall décor. You can see our fall home tour here if you missed it yesterday.
Well, now that
the new fall lineup has started, I’m, of course, watching Scandal, and all of
our other shows that are back. Another
one of our favorites? Shark Tank! So good!
What I’m Listening To
Luke Freaking
Bryan. Y’all. His new song Strip It Down is all you need
right now. I just love him.
What I’m Wearing
Still a lot of
sleeveless and short sleeve tops with skinny jeans… waiting patiently for some
chilly weather so I can bust out the snuggly stuff!
What I’m Doing This Weekend
On Saturday we
are heading to Athens to watch our boys play!
We have season tickets, but now that we have kids we typically only
attend one or two games per season.
This will be our first of the season and we are ecstatic. We don’t play Bama every year, so this is
always a pretty big deal when it happens.
The last time we played them, it was in the SEC Championship game of
2012…they beat us in the last couple of minutes of the game, shattering our
dreams of a National Championship (which we totally
would have won that year) and it was devastating. We are ready for a rematch and hopefully our
boys will be out for revenge!
What I’m Looking Forward To Next Month
Pumpkin
patching, carving pumpkins, Halloween PJs, trick-or-treating, and CHILLY
WEATHER! I can’t wait to put these
matching PJs on the kids. They are
perfect!
What Else Is New
Olivia has
moved into her new car seat and she’s forward facing now! I know that they recommend waiting until kids
are two now before turning them around, but she’s so tall (and big) for her
age, that her poor little legs were all crammed into the back of the seat and
she looked terribly uncomfortable in that old car seat. I wasn’t quite ready to turn her around, but
we ultimately decided that it was the best decision because of her size.
I’m pretty
nervous about the whole situation, but I can tell you this… she loves it!
Happy Wednesday, everybody!
