FRIDAY FAVORITES....NOT SO PERFECT EDITION

This is a very interesting addition to Friday Favorites because it’s some of the not so perfect, sad and disappointing things in life. Often, we showcase our best on the blog, but I decided to do a little something different.

1. Daisy Mae
I really don’t know what this day is going to hold for me as it is the one year anniversary of our sweet Daisy Mae‘s passing! It is so crazy that in the months after she passed, so many of you friends and bloggers had your dear fur babies leave this world and you know how much I empathize with you! I’m not going to go into all my feelings on her loss as time does ease the pain a little bit, but I think this Post I wrote on it last year sums it all up from my heart!
And I am beyond ready for a new doggie, in fact I NEED a new pup for my sanity but Mr. Nine is not ready…boo!


2. Regis
We lost one of the most amazing men that the entertainment world ever created and that was Regis Philbin. One of a kind and a heart of gold! I was lucky enough to meet Regis on a couple occasions and he even had photos of the 2 us and he and my mom in his office. We shared a love for Notre Dame, and I am beyond thrilled that he will be buried on his beloved ND Fighting Irish campus! He was Notre Dame‘s number one fan of all time and an alma mater! I loved him with Kelly but it was his magic with Kathie Lee that had me mesmerized every morning!

4. Not So Perfect Pics but CUTE Outfit
Well, I have to say, this ended up being the perfect, “not perfect,” example of how things don’t always go as planned. Today, on Instagram, I was supposed to collectively join a group of ladies in showcasing a not so perfect picture. We always put our best out there so one of the ladies found an awesome quote and we were all going to share a non-perfect photo. Well, that got pushed off a week and at first, I was upset because I wanted it to coincide with my blog post today but, that’s just it, that’s how life goes and sometimes we just have to go with the flow of it, so I’ve included a not perfect picture here and I’ll post to Insta next week. In the meantime, it gave me a great reason to skip posting to Insta today and take a breather!
Nothing like a shuttlecock coming at ya or maybe getting stuck in your bun?

5. Misc. STUFF
Post of the Week ~ Feels Like Pajama's

MORE Canceled Plans
Never in a million years did I think in March that Covid-19 would still be around come this Fall. But unfortunately plans continue to get canceled and I made a decision this week about one of the things I was MOST excited about this year! Going to Cali in September to stay at Lisa's with my Style Six crew. This would been our 3rd annual meet up but we decided it was best not to fly and for me, not to risk taking any germs from Indiana to my friends. Love them so! Fingers and Toes crossed for 2021!


The Yeti artender...on Hiatus
Hey, for the small majority of you that are loving The Yeti Bartender, it’s going to be on hiatus for a few weeks. Summer weather has given me a reprieve and I just want to spend it outside drinking a cold seltzer instead of concocting and trying to come up with new cocktail recipes. Don’t worry, it will probably be back this Fall as I can think of a few colder weather month cocktails that you just might love!

Memes 
These trying times are far from perfect, but at least all the Memes have given some laughs and smiles.

and My FAV


....And then Something Sweet happens
 THE BLUE HERON
This beautiful bird comes to the pond every year and while I’ve gotten some good pictures of him, the perfect shot just seems to allude me. I was taking video and pictures of him on the step railing the other morning and just kept snapping. Just when I thought I would never get a perfect shot of him, boom there it is. This is just to tell you that when things don’t go perfectly, then you turn around and sometimes they do. Never give up. No matter how many sad things happen in life, there’s so much joy! It’s all around us!


CHEERS to a Perfectly imperfect weekend!!

FEELS LIKE PAJAMAS!

I am not kidding you friends; this is my all-time favorite jumpsuit! It’s just a simple black drawstring jogger jumpsuit but it’s the most comfortable I’ve ever known and the easiest to get up and down!


I wore it on the adventure day home from the beach vacation and I was ever so comfortable, and I kept telling Mr. Nine, it felt like I was wearing jammies! I have linked up several for you because this style by daily ritual from Amazon that is just as great! They make a Cropped Version too with a wider leg that I also own!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...SUNFLOWER EDITION

Anybody else have a hard time getting it in gear this week? I sure have! I am excited about our day trip to a couple college campuses tomorrow to get grad photos. This is been a long time coming and the campuses should be pretty empty but because college towns are hotspots, we are not eating out anywhere and will pack a cooler for drinks. Let’s get to a rejuvenating weekend so that next week will be better than this one!

1. Sunflower Field
Last September, my mom and I went to a local sunflower field for the first time and got some photos. Our kids were excited to get some photos with professional photographer friends and I tagged along and had the kids take a few pictures of ole mom! I was telling them; the funny thing is this first season of blooms is only a third of the size of how tall they are when they bloom in September. I can’t wait to go back. But I do love how these pictures turned out!

2. All-American
It seems like these days, Mr. Nine and I are having a hard time finding a TV series to binge that we are enamored with! Most of the ones we’ve watched lately have been just so so and don’t always keep my attention. Enter this CW show That we’ve been watching on Netflix called All American! It’s loosely based on a true story, very relevant to present day and we love it! I don’t know what it is that’s why I always love these shows resolve revolving around high schoolers, LOL! There’s been two seasons released so far with 16 episodes a season and the great thing is season 3 comes out in October.


3. Week's Attire....J.Crew
J.Crew has been having a killer summer sale and I have loved all the pieces I’ve gotten from them. Sharing some of my favorites.

4. Boho Outfit and YES....BOOTS
I know kids, it’s too hot to think about boots. But I am always thinking ahead to the next season and of course contemplating my porch pumpkins! These BOOTS from the Mint Julep Boutique are just too good not to share because there’s such a great price and as good as any that you get in July at the Nordstrom sale! But little did I know, the Nordstrom sale is postponed until next month and many of y’all are saying you’re secretly happy about that because who wants to buy sweaters and boots in July, LOL! And the boots look so cute with the dress!

5. Misc. Fun
Post of the Week ~ Picnic Anyone

Flowers
My flowers bring me joy. Just a sampling here of the front porch, just look at those coleuses and petunias!


And I have been cutting the snowball hydrangeas and bringing them in the house! Perfect vase flowers and they last about 10 days.


Memes
Love finding more funny Memes! Got to keep laughing!









CHEERS to a Sunshiny and Bright JULY weekend!!

PICNIC ANYONE?

There is just something about this red and white checked DARLING summer TOP from Topshop that makes me want to go on a picnic!


I was so happy to take it on vacation and wear it to a distillery in Northern Michigan for a night of alfresco dining, cocktails and music.




The back is a huge plus to me! Oh, how I love a cute back! AND the way this laid, I didn’t even need a bra with it! Talk about a huge WIN! So easy breezy!


The bow tie sheet organza white ties on the shoulders adds an additional element of cuteness!
