Hey everyone! I hope you're having a !
Jordan was up early this morning and isn't interested in napping much lately so we've had a busy morning!

I finally got him down for a little nap after a bath and bottle. I just cant believe that later today we're headed to his 4 month appointment and he's already outgrowing our kitchen sink! 😭

Making myself a to eat while I've got some time and thought I'd share one of my favorite summer snacks!

Cherry tomatoes with feta cheese and balsamic vinegar! 🍅🧀🤤 Usually I would add some cucumbers in but I didn't have any so I went without! 🥒 I'm using 🍒 black cherry balsamic but you can use any flavor or just plain balsamic! (I get mine from this amazing place in KC!)

Sorry I've been quiet for a few days, we've had so much going on! Look out for some more thrifting videos later this week!

What's everyone having for dinner tonight? We had some lobster ravioli I found at Walmart with some shrimp and spinach... delicious! 🤤

Who else got mums this weekend?!
I scored big time with Ace Hardware and their huge mum sale!

My sweet grandma bought me the purple and maroon ones that are really blooming for my front porch and told me they were only $5!
So I went to my local ACE to see what they had and I thought they had sold out. I got so lucky when the sales woman told me they were going to start discounting the bigger mums!!

I got 4 beautiful tri-color mums for my backyard for $20! I can't wait to see what colors I end up with, I think I should have purple in each (that's my favorite!) And some yellows, oranges, and maybe even a little white.

For me, mums are the beginning of all the fall decorations, so follow along as I pull out my decorations and watch my house transform for Fall!

Posting a little for myself and anyone else who needs it to get their week started this morning!

I'm pretty sure Jordan is going through the 4 month sleep regression, so this mama is tired! This morning I'm reminding myself that it means he's growing bigger and stronger and that it will eventually pass!

How is everyone else this morning? What is everyone starting their week off with?

Happy Tuesday!
How was everyone's Labor Day weekend?!

We had a busy weekend, as usual! Now that it's over it's time to get back to work! (Who am I kidding the work never stops!)

We had a blast celebrating some friends at their wedding shower! The shower was beautiful, decorated with sunflowers, burnt orange, and Rustic wood accents and we played some fun games, I won closest guess on the number of chocolate kisses in a jar!

Coolest thing at the shower... The bride had included a request on our invites to bring a silk flower and her sister made the base of her bouquet out of them! I'd never seen this done and thought it was so special!

We also celebrated the holiday with my family and grilled come chicken and pork chops. It's been so hot lately and the weather was just beautiful this weekend so we had the windows down at home and in the car and soaked up as much of the fresh air as we could get.

So I may have been a little MIA over the weekend but I've got lots in store this week so make sure you follow along so you don't miss out!
(Check the hashtags for a hint at what's to come!)
