FRIDAY FAVORITES...OCTOBER GOING TOO FAST EDITION

Ok, I have a confession to make: I got in Busted by Mr. Nine this week. So you know my favorite Fall snack as mentioned HERE is my mom's Caramel Corn! Well my sweet mom brought me a little batch this week had I intended to share it with Mr. Nine but it was not much and it literally was her BEST.BATCH.EVER, so I put it in my Mom's Stash cabinet, ya know where I hide all my goodies from anyone with testosterone. Well one morning I was getting some out to put in a baggy for work and he caught me red handed. Needless to say, I was a good wife and shared! Now I'm sharing my Friday favorites with you sweet like caramel corn friends of mine!!

1. Family Time
With all the boys home for Fall break last weekend, I was so happy to have the busy boy's schedules align so Saturday we could have a family day! This was the first time we had all been together in two months! We went to the house site so they could walk it and see the progress, went to a favorite restaurant for lunch called Rocky River Tap and Grille and they even indulged mom in little home decor shopping at Kirkland’s and Home Goods.

Walking the property to the river..in Mud boots of course, it had rained something fierce! 

We love our peaceful setting!

2. House Update
Drywall is complete. Stone retaining walls complete. This morning we meet with the "Closet Guy," Rolando, to lay out our closets and pantry. I am giddy to design my master "hers" closet with him. 

Where the green is will be stone, some black shutters will be added, 3 pillars on the porch, front door painted black and design trim in the peaks.

One of the stone walls & in that big spot of dirt will go the pool!!

3. Week's Attire
Kohl's top, Macy's necklace and heels (I.N.C) 

The Loft top, Charming Charlie necklace, JC Penny pants

Francesca top, Fashion Bella necklace, JC Penny Pants

4. White Jeans with Booties and Gingham

Up until yesterday it had been so warm still so I was pulling out my white jeans which I have been known to still wear in the winter. To make them more Fallish, I added open toe booties and a tan gingham shirt from Anthropologie.


More Inspo


5. Misc. FUN
BE JOLLY SIGN
NO, it is NOT too early for Christmas decor purchasing..what I got Saturday at Kirkland's
 It light's UP!! Buy HERE

MAMMOGRAMS
You know I love my pumpkins! Do you love yours? Get your Mammo!! I just love Maxine, I get my mom a Maxine calendar every Christmas. 

RED TOP
On Wednesday, I showed you a Favorite Fall Outfit and when I saw this top, I just knew it would look great with the red Hunter Boots and let's talk about what a cute Holiday look this Red Top would be with them. 
I think I need it!!
BUY IT HERE


KYLIE LIP SAMPLER
and mama needs some new lipsticks. I love to get them in smaller versions to see if I like them first. I've heard a lot about Kylie's lip products and am loving the matte for Fall. Perfect colors.

  2. Oh yes, I love this - the hardest part of motherhood is when your kids grow up! Ugh, here we all thought it was when they were in diapers! I feel like I need to write a blog post in response to your post - there's so much to say. Your house is amazing and I am so super excited for you - you are going to have the BEST closet!! Having all your boys home and together is such a blessing, Nolan comes home on the 26th for a long weekend and I am pumped. Buy that red top - it will be fantastic on you. I love how you styled your white jeans for Fall, great look on you beautiful! That Kylie lipstick, is it long wearing? I have heard alot of hype about it. The sampler is a great idea! Have a wonderful weekend my love!

    Love the cute jeans and check outfit - brown check is quite a rarity so clever you for tracking it down.
    Happy Sunday, shiny happy person! Hugs, x.
