One Fall Night

The light was so pretty last night I got some sweet photos of Connor 🙂

 And a THANK YOU!

I was tweeting or Facebooking or something the other day about how much I love LOVE love Aromatique candles.  My favorite scent of all time is called “Amaretto Nog”.  Unfortunately most of the line has been discontinued.  However they still sell the smaller candles on the website.  I got a surprise package in the mail from Peggy at Aromatique and she MAILED ME AN AMARETTO NOG CANDLE!!!  That was so sweet of them and that’s why I love Aromatique & what excellent customer service I must say! 

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

Lindsey won the pumpkin shirt contest a few weeks ago!  My sweet sister, Bonnie, made shirts for BOTH her boys because she didn’t want to leave the other out.  She’s so awesome!  She is making some pretty cute Christmas shirts right now too….I hope Connor gets to model one 😉 

Go like her Facebook page HERE so you can keep up with all the cute stuff she’s making!

Hope everyone has a great weekend!

Fall Decor & Life Lately

I don’t have much fall decor.  Looking at Pinterest makes me want to step up my game a bit.  I did put out my glitter pumpkins on the mantle, but they look so small?  A little bling bling never hurt anyone right?

And I framed Connor’s Halloween picture on our counter.  I love that picture!  He knows exactly where those M&M’s are and begs for them every day….he points and begs over and over! Eeeek!

I’m excited about fall HOT coffee drinks and ready to use my Dean & Deluca mug I got in NYC.  I never drink hot coffee except for a few months out of the year. 

Don’t judge me in this pic, we just got home from our evening hike.  AND-Keeping it real this is what I look like when I get home every day.  I get out of my work clothes as quick as I can and into my comfy pants 🙂
Oh BTW- Over 8 lbs lost so far.  We are in week 4 of our Paleo lifestyle…we’ve cheated off and on, but for the most part our main meals are strictly healthy eating.  My goal is to have lost at least 20-25 lbs by Christmas.

I got my October Birchbox in this month :

It was okay again….eh…really some months are a lot better than others.

* Green tea fitness mints
* Eyebrow gel (I like this)
* Oil serum for your face?
* Mineral foot cream
* Hair masque

Working on keeping Connor out of trash cans….do they make child locks for those?  Ha ha!

My boy LOVES some books!
How’s ya’ll’s week going?

Fall Blog Swap – What I Got!

I participated in a fall blog swap a couple weeks ago with Kodi.  My partner was Ashley…I think her blog is private though (sad face)  She got me some awesome goodies….

  • A Pumpkin Caramel Latte candle – It smells so good I want to lick it!
  • A Starbucks gift card
  • And some OPI nail polish called “Espresso your style”
This chick knows me well eh???
THANK YOU SO MUCH ASHLEY!
You are the best & I can’t wait to see if you love your goodies too!
Today I had the day off of work!  Thank you Mr. Columbus Day 🙂
So I woke up to this cutie patootie…..
We watched Elmo’s World about penguins at least 5 times today.  We’ve read some books, played, thrown Daddy’s XBox games in the trash….oops!  Good thing I found them!  Ha ha!
I love that I got to spend the day with my lil guy since I don’t get to very often….I would love to do this every day, but gotta make a buck I guess.  Just cherishing every minute even more so!

We went to Super Target & got groceries.  I found Connor playing in the toilet water & also standing in the shower with all his clothes on……..under the running water!  Wardrobe change!

Fun times I tell ya!

He loves loves LOVES to waller in our bed.  He just drowns in all the pillows and bounces all around.  It really is one of his favorite things to do EVER.

 We’ve had a blast today.  I love you my lil buddy.  You are the bestestest kid ever.
 Oh and here is my espresso nails!!!!
Oooooohhhh!!!!!! Aaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!!
Everyone have a lovely Monday!
