WHAT'S UP WEDNESDAY AMAZING AUGUST

What an August Whirlwind of goodness and always a little crummy thrown in, but that's life!

The dawn of glorious Fall is upon us! This post is jam packed and I think you’ll love it!

As you know I do cook but Krispy Kreme Pumpkin Spice Donuts, lol. And our fav: BLT's and fresh sweet corn.


2. WHAT I’M REMINISCING ABOUT: 

The Twin’s Baby Shower. It was an August 12th brunch and such a lovely day! AND LOVED SEEING FAMILY. And many of you have asked about my dress (get it HERE)




And the wonderful trip my sweet mom and I took to Mackinac Island. Read all about our trip HERE.


3: WHAT IM LOVING:

Beside the shower, prepping bunk room for girls and shopping for Fall a bit. Such cute things at Walmart. Ordered the JEANS ($22) AND LOVE Them!! VERY AFFORDABLE pieces! The Boots are back this year, I got them in 2 colors last year and wore all the time!

5: WHAT I’M DREADING: 

Ever having a UTI again! It was only my 3rd ever this past week BUT the burn/pain wasn't as bad as the 4 day constant excruciating side effect headaches from the antibiotic. 

UGH! 

AND dreading my favorite months of the year ~ Sept-Dec going waaay too fast. 


6: WHAT I’M WORKING ON: 

Several Things ~ Fall Decor, here is a dining room sneak peek. Adding in more rust and navy this season. But just wait until you see the front porch. You won’t believe the color scheme. I’m going with this year. Fingers and toes crossed that the nursery comes through with the color mums I need. Do you want to see a post on the indoor decor in additon to the porch?

  1. Prayers for a smooth delivery and I am so excited for you! UTIs are the absolute worst. I am so sorry! I once taught for an entire week with a UTI and I don't know how I did it. The doctor said teachers are prone to them because we can hardly go to the restroom - great!

  19. I can't believe it's already time to start fall decorating. Did summer not go just WAY too fast this year? I was really enjoying it! Can't wait to see how the porch turns out. I've already got on my calendar when to pick up my mums from the nursery! But again...how is it THAT time of year again?! love u!

  20. I don’t like to wish time away but I am so happy fall is just around the corner! Pumpkin pies and Halloween everything is just my favorite but I hear you, I hope it does slow down a bit. I’d love to soak it in as much as I can. And yay for the successful baby shower for the twins. Sending all the positive vibes to the little family. Looking forward to meeting the bundles of joy! I hope your UTI goes away like now. It’s not fun and I am sending you big hugs. On a positive note, it is Labor Day weekend and hallelujah for an extra day off of work! Bring on the good times! :)
