Have a Bowl?

One of my favorite places for kitchenware is Zak! Designs.  I especially love their confetti line.  Last week I broke my beloved Zak! bowl so I ordered this one:
I love that it’s EXTRA large. 
I use it when I bake large batches of something or to put Halloween candy in 🙂

I know everyone has heard of Scentsy by now, but I was a little late to jump on that wagon.  I am loving it!  This little pot o’ gold makes my whole house smell like fall.

I’ve had the itch to do some fall baking.  I pulled out a can of pumpkin last night, and unfortunately it expired in July.  I really need to get my spices all organized because it’s a complete disaster of bottles and jars.  It’s driving me nutso!  HOW DO YOU ORGANIZE YOUR SPICE CABINET???

 I found this cute idea on Pinterest :

These are from Pottery Barn.  Only I would have to sell plasma to afford them….ugh…
Pottery Barn, why must you look so cool, but be so dang expensive?

Speaking of organization…..remember when I gave away this jewelry organizer?  They also sent me this one too!  It’s for necklaces and bracelets and it’s awesome!  Both of these organizers hang perfectly in my closet and store all my jewelry without tangles or a mess!

I’m also in the middle of a purge in Connor’s room.  I’m getting a bunch of things ready for the JBF Sale in a few weeks.  It’s amazing how many things a child only uses in the first year of life….then after that it becomes junk! Hee…hee….

Hope ya’ll are having a good day!

Labor Day Weekend

We had a great Labor Day weekend!  My Mom and Dad drove to visit from Arkansas.  We love it when they come to see us because we miss them so much!  We mostly just hung out and rented some movies, they played with Connor, and Mom and I went to Sam Moon. 
On Sunday we drove to Glenrose and looked at dinosaur tracks and that was pretty cool!  It’s quite a hike up the mountain to the top….whew!  Thank goodness the weather has cooled down the last few days and it was so nice outside.  Afterwards we ate at the Cracker Barrel for lunch.  I just love their gift shop and the food is so good too….it reminds me of fall home cooking 🙂
Then Monday they headed back home and I did some laundry and cleaned the house up.  We did our grocery shopping and then chilled at home all day with the windows open.  It was in the 60’s yesterday morning! CRAZY! 
And….back to the daily grind today……
I think I need to go back to the Doctor.  I don’t know what is going on with me lately.  My hormones are all over the place and I have hot flashes all the time.  That sounds strange doesn’t it?  I’m 30, but I feel so old.  My joints are tighter & I feel like an old woman these past few weeks.  It seems like no matter what I do exercise and diet wise I keep gaining weight???  The Doctor put me back on birth control, but I’m still bleeding when I’m not supposed to be….I’m just an emotional hormonal wreck right now & I don’t know what’s wrong 🙁  Maybe my body is still trying to get adjusted after pregnancy and breastfeeding for so long…but I figured at this point things would even out.  Anyone have any advice?
Hope ya’ll had a good weekend!
(Excuse the horrible hair! Eeek!)
Looking at Dino fossils

 We also had some yummy Mexican food!

AND I am so excited about fall shows coming back on!

I can’t wait for this show called the Ringer on CW to come out! Yay for the return of Sarah Michelle Gellar!

18 Months

Connor you turned 18 months old yesterday!  You are officially 1 1/2 years old now 🙂
You are the light of our lives, we love you so very much!  You continue to fill our hearts with so much love and joy that we never knew existed.  You love to share and you play friendly with others…you are just an all around great kid!  You make the silliest faces and make us laugh all the time.  Still a very picky eater, but we know it’s just a phase (hopefully!)  You love to give kisses and you think Daddy and I are the best ever….I know this will change some day so I’m enjoying it while it lasts. 
We are so thankful to God that he gave us your life.  We are so blessed to be your parents & we love you more and more each day!
xoxo Mommy
