FRIDAY FAVORITES...HELLO AUTUMN

Perfect timing, Fabulous Fall. With temps hovering around 90 all week and crazy humidity, I wasn’t sure Miss Autumn was going to make it in time but whew, she is blasting us with 70 tomorrow so it’s ON!! Today the pumpkins and mums are going out, the front porch is getting decorated and I am making a new pumpkin treat. Plus, the football game tonight is at my favorite "away" school because they grill burgers on dozens of grills the dads bring in to sell, so dinner is under the Friday Night Lights and I'm tickled, lol! 

1. Fall Find: Pink Velvet Pumpkin

Monday, I showed you Part 1 of my Glam Space. Well, this velvet sparkly gem resides in that area and I love this pumpkin so much. The minute I saw it in Pier 1, I knew I’d be taking it home. And now it is under $20. The perfect girly pumpkin!

2. Fall Food

So, I didn’t really have much this week so let’s talk food. Yummy food tends to taste just a little bit better in the Fall. Tis week I had a couple finds and am sharing my morning breakfast that I repeated 3 days in a row. And a sneak peek at an upcoming Tasty Tuesday recipe. 

This was the yummy breakfast. While wheat English muffin with local Sugar free Apple Butter, plump blackberry and a small Nosa Pumpkin Yogurt with 3 crunched up pecans added. 

 Last year, I did the Rate the Pumpkin Spice Treats post and I told you about a couple pumpkin cereals (I LOVE the Pumpkin Special K). Was super excited to see Pumpkin Frosted Flakes. VERY GOOD. 

4/5 Pumpkin Rating

And Coming Soon: Butternut Squash, Sausage and Penne pasta Skillet. So Yummy!!

5. Misc. Fun
Daisy...PSL Dog Treats

Our sweet Daisy got a good vet report this week. I was worried about some issues she had but it turns out just natural aging process for the almost 14-year-old girl. We celebrated with these amazing seasonal dog treats. Pumpkin Spice Latte Mutt Mallows. (2.99 TJ MAXX)  wanted to eat one, but I didn't, lol! 

  

I cant stress it enough...BE KIND!

I was checking out at Target with a sweet lady who recognizes me by my frequent visits (LOL) and as I was paying, she turned around grabbed this reusable bag and said “Here, we are giving these to people we choose today.” It was filled with little goodies and coupons and I thought How Kind! It made my day just like I knew she did so many others. Just a simple, sweet gesture. I continued my errands by opening doors for people, helping a lady get something off a high shelf, complimenting people, etc…just the little things…all it takes to create smiles and give joy!
 

Go Have one super happy weekend and LOVE on one another with kind hearts!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...VARSITY EDITION

Happy Friday sweet friends! This Varsity theme is in eager anticipation that our football player gets cleared by the Dr. mid-morning today and can play next Friday. His therapy has gone great so he, we and the team are hopeful. Well, the college boys survived the first week of class. I kept busy, went to the Beach yesterday and Mr. Nine and I are headed out this weekend to a Cubs game and some city fun to pick up my spirits. Nothing a ballpark hotdog and rarely drank cold brewski (like once a year) can’t cure, lol. 

1. Blogger Spotlight:
Nadine from Life By Nadine Lynn
Nadine from was one of the first people I followed when I started my blog and she quickly became a favorite. With her quick wit, amazing writing ability, just the right amounts of sass and sweetness, I knew this girl would be a friend from the great Bama state! She is just so easy to relate to and real. You want to lift her up if she struggles, rejoice with her when she soars and definitely dine with her; my goodness, she posts the best food pictures and recipes too. Her hubby adores her, is hilarious and they were blessed almost 2 years ago now with little Zoe, the sweetest baby girl. In fact, she was born on our oldest son’s birthday. Learn More about Nadine HERE in a cool "About Me in 4's!" I really loved her 2 part post on Zoe's Birth Story HERE and HERE. Her post "If you knew me in High School" will give you a glimpse into what a fun, sweet and super smart girl she was. 34 things in her 34th year leads you to know this precious lady even more. Recently turning 35, I assured Nadine her best years are yet to come, If you head over to TBB today, you'll learn about a very special post Nadine wrote on a blogger's guest series. Oh and her book reviews are spot on, She LOVES to read and finds great books you'll love too. Just love her to pieces and you will too! 
Nadine has passed her love of Sunnies down to her precious daughter, Zoe! 

2. Mad for Buffalo Plaid
It was after seeing these front mat combos on Pinterest and getting 2 of these pumpkins from Hobby Lobby that I suddenly was obsessed with black and white buffalo plaid. It will go beautiful with our house colors and verging into the all-white, green, gray pumpkin realm for Fall. Buying these Pillow Covers from Amazon because the price and quality are amazing.

5. MISC FUN
Aerie Purchases

Aerie Admission: well 2; never bought from them before and always wondered why they didn’t just throw the cozy jammies items and undies in the mother store, American Eagle? Well, I saw this Camo Sweatshirt, Read the reviews and saw the great price and was like yeah, click purchase from Aerie, here I go. IT's so soft!!! With Bralette love going on and BOGO, I grabbed a couple perfect for Fall. Got them in the mail this week and LOVE. Bralettes are not usually hooked or adjustable and these are both!! Sooo comfy!
