Happy Friday! We have a busy weekend planned so let’s get right down to business!
O N E – Transitional Piece for Fall
I’ve posted about this kimono once before, but after wearing it for the first time this week I just
had to come back and let y’all know how fabulous it is! It’s light and airy so it’s the perfect
transitional piece for fall…
… Now if only the weather
will cooperate.
T W O – Homecoming Week Fun
This week is homecoming week
at the kids’ school so they have been enjoying dressing up for the different
themes each day.
Pajama Monday!
Team Tuesday... they proudly
showed off their Georgia
When I Grow Up Wednesday… they
had to dress like what they want to be when they grow up. Jacob wants to be “a guy who designs rides at
Disney World” (he drew his blueprint for his first ride this week… see it
tucked under his arm?) and Olivia wants to be a superhero… specifically Owlette
from PJ Masks.
Tacky Thursday! #NailedIt
And Extreme Spirit Wear
Friday…we gave Jacob a mowhawk and sprayed his hair red as always! :o)
T H R E E – Yahtzee
We love to play games in our
house and the kids are at the ages where they can finally start playing “real”
games instead of the typical little kid games like Candy Land and such. We recently bought Yahtzee and we had our
first family game the other evening. I
forgot how much I loved it! Jacob
understands it pretty well, but Olivia still has trouble making decisions where
to use her points. She’ll get the hang
of it soon, though! Lots of fun for only $7.99!
F O U R – New Gym Record
If you’ve been around my
blog for some time you know that I like to go to the gym and I try to make time
for it at least two times per week. I
typically only use the gym for my cardio and the treadmill is my jam. I don’t like to run anymore, despite the fact
that I used to run cross country, and instead I set the pace at a super fast
walk on a steep incline to make it more challenging. I
always do 30 minutes with a five minute cool-down and then I see how many
calories I’ve burned at the end.
For the last few months or
so I’ve been doing a pace of 3.6 mph on and incline of 9 or 10, but this week I
started ramping it up to 3.8 mph on an incline of 11. This past Tuesday I burned the most calories
ever in my 35 minutes. See for yourself!
F I V E – Serving Tray Makeover
I’ve had a brown serving
tray with picture slots since B and I got married. I loved the idea of the picture slots when we
registered for it, but I quickly realized that it’s silly to have picture slots
on a serving tray because you just cover them up with the decorations. Anyhoo, I’ve been wanting to paint it for
years and I finally got it done this week.
I LOVE it.

S I X – Fall Happies
And finally, a few
things that are making me happy this week.
These pumpkin cookies from Walmart:
These gorgeous mums that I
got from Home Depot:
Watching Gilmore Girls while
I blog and sip my tea.
And finally before you go, don’t
forget to check out my Fall Home Tour post and my Fall Bucket List post if you
missed them!
Happy Friday, y’all!

Your kids are so cute! Great job on the cardio & the serving tray!
ReplyDeleteHow cute are all the HoCo dress up days for the kiddos. I like the white serving tray. I have some things I need to repurpose/paint this weekend.

ReplyDeleteI remember homecoming week always being the best! The kids look so cute!
ReplyDeleteGotta grab those cookies, they look so good. Hope y'all have a great weekend!
Spirit week looked like so much fun!! And I feel you on the weather. Although not as hot as down south, it's still too hot for me. Give me my fall weather please!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, where did you get that coffee mug? I love the simplicity of it; it's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHappy Friday! I have got to order that kimono! It’s adorable, but looks even cuter on. Love it. Isn’t Homecoming dress up week just so fun? Ours is next week and we’re looking forward to it. I think out of all of these the Tacky Thursday is my favorite. They are too cute!!! I saw those pumpkin cookies today and almost grabbed them. But I was frustrated and just trying to get out of there. Our store is torn apart right now for a reno and I couldn’t find anything I needed. Now I am regretting not getting them! Ahh. I’ve been watching Gilmore Girls every day for a couple of months. Love it! Have a great weekend, friend.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! How many pictures did you have to take before you got them both smiling?! ;)
ReplyDeleteOh we just love Yahtzee! My oldest son was obsessed with the game when he was in grade school and we used to play all the time; he had amazing luck too almost every game he actually got a Yahtzee and I can remember one game where he got 3!
ReplyDeleteThat's crazy!! This past game Olivia filled out the entire bottom half of her section before she ever even had to touch the top. I couldn't believe it! Brian was shocked that she didn't win.
DeleteThat kimono! Love. I've been perusing the aisles of my local Walmart after you posted about all of your amazing finds. So much good stuff. You rocked Homecoming week for the kiddos! Tacky Thursday was awesome. I feel like that's how Eliza and I dress every day. ;) LOL! Oh and those mums! We're going today to finally pick some up...our nursery is closed so we're going to head to Home Depot to see what we can find! Fingers crossed they're as pretty as yours! :)
ReplyDeleteHow fun is homecoming week?!?!! And I love that kimono!
