Fall Favs

ONE - I got these black jeans last year but I wear them constantly. Pair with any top and sneakers and you look put together! They're actually semi comfortable for jeans ha!

TWO - love the pattern on this top and the outfit too!

THREE - on the hunt for a metallic skirt for the holidays! I like the asymmetric design on this one, paired with a black cashmere sweater? So pretty!

FOUR - cool kicks

FIVE - reversible jacket but I love the lighter brown suede side!

Easy Dinner

This dinner is so basic but easy for a weeknight.

  1. Couscous - see box below
  2. Steamed broccoli with a little cheddar (my kids are obsessed)
  3. Italian Parmesan Chicken Tenders - soak in salt water for 20 min. Rinse. Dip each one in raw egg then Italian breadcrumbs. Air fry for 13 min at 400 degrees. (The salt water makes them never dry out - try it. My friend Hilary has changed cooking chicken for me by telling me this trick!)

Grady's First Homerun

A bit late to the party this week. I have a sick kiddo who evidently was sick during his challenge tournament on Sunday. But also he had his first home-run! It was AWESOME and I'm soooo proud of him! This was after they cleared the dug out and came to congratulate him!

Also, this was my car to go to the games. Can anyone relate?! Speaker, charger, purse, cooler, snacks, lunch, chairs, bat bag, sunscreen, ice packs. ALL OF THE THINGS! I love it.

Weekend otherwise was great. Hung with a neighbor Saturday night. Friday night had dinner at the club. Kevin took Molly Anne shopping while Grady and I were at a birthday party. It was good and packed.

Game ball on Saturday! He had three doubles!

All good stuff. Baseball playoffs are this week but so far it has rained and rained!

Thursday Finds

ONE - I must admit - I started Christmas shopping this week! Grabbed this set and figured Molly Anne and I could split this! Also, what a great girlfriend gift!

TWO - well this dress screams fall to me! Under $100

THREE - I do swear by these hair ties and need some more I like this random set with various colors! These do not dent your hair!

FOUR - can't get this dress off my mind. So cute for some many reasons!

FIVE - my tall boots are in rare form. They have been for awhile. I feel like these shorter ones are much more doable these days!

Cooking This Week

Well between last week and this week, this is what has been happening. 

1. Shrimp Red Curry - the kids loved this and it was super easy. First time I've ever made it. As always, I add more shrimp than it calls for. 

2. Baked Potato Bar - I like to do this on Sundays because I'm never home for 1.5 hours prior to dinner to cook the baked potatoes. 

3. Beef Vegetable Soup - I made this on Sunday and we are had it last night. Making stuff on Sunday for Monday's dinner has been insanely helpful for me to get through baseball season. I didn't really use a recipe for this but this is what I put in it and I let it simmer all day:

- 2.25 pounds lean ground beef
- half an onion chopped
- frozen bag of veggies
- half of a bag of frozen cubed hashbrowns
- box of beef broth and added about another cup of water
- big and little diced tomato cans
- salt, pepper and Italian seasoning

4. Beef Enchiladas are happening at some point this week

5. Sausages on the grill with red/orange peppers, mushrooms and onions

Fun Weekend

We had a nice weekend - only one baseball game and one field hockey tournament!!

Friday our friend brought her new golden to the neighborhood playground to play. Molly Anne was IN LOVE! Look at that smile -- she needs one! We are looking around for breeders. I'm being insanely picky given how unhealthy mills was!

I went over to my friend's house in the hood with the kiddos. A million kids ran wild and us Moms hung out!

Saturday morning baseball and Grady got the game ball!

A quick stop at Chick Fil A then straight to the field hockey tournament! Molly Anne scored a goal which was exciting!

She really grew this season! And loved being coached by Coach Katie!

Saturday night we went to our new neighbor's house next door. They made a delish dinner! Look at that steak!

Solving the worlds problems by the fire!

Oh I also refreshed our planters. I don't typically have them out in the Fall and Winter but I'm going to see how these go this year!

Little walk to one of Grady's friends houses! He played there for a few hours. Mostly we laid low on Sunday. It was a dream!

So they put the wrong color grout in our shower on the 3rd floor. I want to scream! I will tell you all about my solution for that. It's always something! Chat soon!

Thursday Finds

ONE - waterproof booties with only a 2" heel, so great! Super cute with dresses and jeans.

TWO - a short sleeve ivory sweatshirt tee would go with so much and the puff sleeve jazz it right up!

THREE - a simple black dress for work or any occasion. One of those good things to have in your closet. Lots of patterns in this too


FOUR - throw this dress on and instantly feel put together. I'm wearing the blouse with the same collar as we speak!

FIVE - a Fall purse that's suede but make it black so you can wear it with more clothes!

Exercise While Waiting on Kids

This picture is silly but it is how I like to fit in exercise! Molly Anne was playing field hockey and I could watch her the whole time and walk!

And I've been doing it for years... this pic is when she was at dance!

And this time she was at swim!

My young dude and I just walking!

Fit it in when ya can!!

Weekending

On Friday I had to get Grady out of our neighbor's pool to get to a baseball scrimmage! Kind of wild honestly considering how chilly it got out at the ballfield that night. Both teams ordered pizza for after the game and it was a beautiful night to hang with other families. Such a great vibe at our baseball club!


Saturday morning he had another game then we hung by the fire. He loves to tend to a fire like his Poppa!


Then we went to Hilary's to hang for the evening! Good friends.


Kevin took this pic and isn't the sky so pretty?



Molly Anne and AJ playing piano together!

Sunday we had an all day tournament about 30 minutes away. Just Grady and I ended up going because it was cold and rainy all day long. His friend Neyland came to watch though which was so nice.


Cutie dude. 


The Moms went through 5 bottles of champagne...and the boys finished 1-1!!

At least we know how to have fun sitting there all day!

He had a great first game but the second one was a tough one. 


Last night I made chili, baked potatoes and shephards pie. We had the chili and baked potatoes last night, will have the pie tonight then Kevin can give the kids chili tomorrow night while I'm on the road for a bit. Will figure out the rest of the week at a later time ha. 

Chat soon friends!

Fall Y'all

Finally got some pumpkins! The kids said we were the only ones without them but if I had gotten them sooner, they would be rotten! I like how they turned out.

Molly Anne Picks For Ladies

Molly Anne helped me find some picks this week for us ladies! She has expensive taste so I had to tone her down a bit. She was talking about alo and all of the things. I told her she better start working soon! Anyway, here are some good ones...

ONE - I actually have these jeans on as we speak. They make me feel like my legs look like this picture though mine are much bigger and shorter haha. The elastic waistband is amazing, I actually don't mind wearing these.

TWO - super cute neutral kicks 33% off

THREE - still looking for work pants. I saw these in the store and they're much dressier than the softstreme.

FOUR - I picked up two of these necklaces because I think they're wonderful gifts. Currently on preorder.

FIVE - a casual top but dress it up or down
