Let's check another item off of our Fall Bucket List! I Fall Decorated! Actually, I've BEEN Fall decorated. So early, that people were making fun of me, but no matter. My family and I enjoy it! Hope you like it and get some ideas if you haven't taken the Fall decorating plunge yet! This is out on my kitchen counter. I love this sign! You can both the sign  and the glass container at Hobby Lobby! I love a festive soap container! This one is cute and glittery from Kirkland's. I couldn't find a link on the site. I bought it at their store.  Simple leaf garland going up the stairs. And the pink sparkly trick or treating pumpkin Elliot picked out! Football Pumpkin  on our bookshelf behind the couch with a pumpkin filled basket.  Love this sign! Also from Kirkland's bought at the store a couple of months ago. Now, where have I seen this before? I printed a copy on Shutterfly, and affixed it to my laundry room door, so ...

I've been reading these Friday Favorites posts on my favorite bloggers sites, and this Friday, I decided we should join in! Sara's Favorite #1 and Fall Bucket List Item! Let's kick it off with Fall TV Premiere Week! That is absolutely a favorite! I have been waiting all summer to get some episodes of some of my favorite shows and check out some new ones! I am most excited for Modern Family, Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Middle to begin again. Except The  Middle isn't coming back until October 11th?!? Ugh! The waiting continues! I also was excited to check out some new shows! I watched Kevin Can Wait and The Good Place and This Is Us. Kevin Can Wait makes it on my maybe list. The Good Place was cute! But somehow missing something. I am up for waiting to see how that one turns out. This Is Us is seriously amazing. Not to overstate it, but I was blown away. Please watch this if you can. GREAT show. #FallBucketListMCD Sara's Favorite #2 Clothes for ...

WHAT WE'RE EATING THIS WEEK... T-It is back-to-school time, so I have been busy getting things ready for my girls and my K classroom and kids.  This means that I have less time and energy to put into our meals.  My solution to this problem is my slow cooker!  I use it all of the time in the fall and winter!  My family's favorite is Chicken Tortilla Soup.  I will post this recipe later this week.  It is AWESOME! S- This is always a tough question for me to answer! I am really trying harder to be more prepared!! My kids first week of school was Monday, so I am trying to make our evenings simple as we ease back into the routine. Sounds like a couple of crock pot meals, salads and pasta! We did make homemade pizza the night before school started. Always a hit! I will share with you our recipe soon! We will also be eating  oatmeal chocolate chip cookies  this week! I am even thinking about sending some to the kids teachers on Friday as a Thank...

Happy Fall Y'all!! Today, I am blogging with my new Fall Tervis Tumbler! I picked this up at an actual Tervis store.

Hello Friends! I don't know about you, but these last few weeks have been crazy! I remember as a kid, summertime was a bunch of lazy days spent swimming, reading and playing with friends. Now, I try not to schedule too much for my kids, but I feel like we are running around now more than during the school year!  Recently, I accidentally scheduled my kids for a week of day camp at their school. Unfortunately, I wasn't paying attention to the camp times, so Elliot was scheduled for the morning camp and Gavin and Will had the afternoon session.  I found myself running back and forth to their school dropping off and picking up all week. The bright side to this was that I was able to take my two older kids around on errands I wouldn't normally run, with a 3 year old in tow.  At this time of year, as much as I love summer, I am hot and ready (already!) to think about Fall and all the joys it brings. I was inspired by a trip to Kirkland's. I love that place, b...
