FRIDAY FAVORITES LIFE LATELY

Happy Friday, Happy Halloween and Happy What I like to call “Eve of the Holiday Season” Let the decorating begin, lol. I know I’ve been absent in this lil space so I thought I’d do a Friday Favorites life lately and share some of the goodness amongst the chaos.

The Twins!

Lots of Twin Time! These two-year-olds are the light of our lives! Got to have a fun day with them at a local pumpkin farm complete with hay rides, apple cider and pumpkin treats. Look how cute they are in their cherry sweaters Grammy got them Up North!

Overnight with just one.

Coloring....just one of our all day his past Wednesday activities!

Fall Foliage

This past weekend, the fall foliage popped up north! Not as pretty as some years but look at these beautiful colors and fun had with Mr. Nine, Mom and Stella.

Sweet mama has a birthday next week. No clue what I’d do without her. Such a blessing to our family and big help! Grateful for her EVERYDAY!

Golds popping at the Indiana House!

Sunsets

Something about a Fall sunset on Lake Michigan.

1st Christmas Tree UP

Well, it may not be in our Indiana home, but this is the first tree decorated in our Michigan vacation home, I know, I never did a post about it, but I will one day. The first floor is mid-century modern, so the skinny tree with the olive and moss greens, gold and tans complement the decor so nicely. Can’t wait to share more!

My Rock & My Stella Mae

This precious twosome! Mr. Nine is always my rock, but he especially has been these past several months and I don’t know what I would do without my Stella Mae.

Our favorite town in the whole world!

Gingerbread Men PJ’s/ Comfies

I like to get some new Christmas pajamas every year and usually you know I go for the Reds. But oh my goodness these gingerbread with a blue piping and blue stripes are so precious. They are so so soft. I’m going to get the ones with the little bows as well.

And speaking of Aerie, you know I can’t get enough of their sweatshirts, but you can get their sweatpants to match that are so soft, well, I’m in. I love the dark cherry red color.

Homemade Fall Granola

I'm headed off to PT, then long overdo and much needed Botox.

I’m taking all the ladies pumpkin spice granola that I have made three batches of! My mom found the recipe in People magazine, and it is so good and healthy!

I’ll be back Monday with Jill and our monthly Amazon Prime link up. Come join us, I’m gonna have lots of great ideas. Click HERE for last month's gift ideas.

LOVE YOU ALL, MY BOOS!!!!

FRIDAY FAVORITES AND JUST LIKE THAT

And just like that, June is half over! We got the exciting news that we have been hoping for this week, and it won’t be long until I can share. I sure hope you’ve had a great week! It's been pedal to the metal round here and I'm only at about 60% with this nerve/muscle ordeal. Unfortunately, it’s going to rain around these parts this weekend, but I’ll still celebrate my Mr. Nine and very lucky to still have my daddy here on earth!

TWINS

Wednesday, the twins and my mom came over for the day. We had a ball and decided to set up a little mini pool outside, despite having a regular pool, but it wasn’t quite the hit that we thought, they were too busy exploring the property, lol. Snapped a couple pictures in the 10 minutes they were in the pool, lol.

Nature

Hummingbird Sitting

Something had been stealing my hummingbird feeder, even carried it all the way to our other patio. Mr. Nine put a higher shepherd hook up, I put fresh hummingbird feed in it and as I was watering my flowers that night this little Ruby throated guy decided to sit on top of the swing perch I have out there for them. So stinking cute! GET A PERCH or TWO HERE!

New Duck Family

Mr. Nine and I walk at 5:30 AM every morning, we love seeing the nature. This week we are so excited to see another new duck family with the tiniest little ducklings.

Coon

Trail Camera

So as I mentioned, something had been stealing the hummingbird water I make. Caught him red-handed on the trail camera! Mean ole' COON!

If you don’t have one of these TRAIL CAMERAS, especially if you live near nature, it is a must not only did the raccoon show up, but so did my favorite neighborhood cat and a robin bird right in front of the camera. So cool.

Sprinkles Cocktail

I can’t believe I got no pictures from the night but last weekend we went with two other couples to one of our favorite spots in South Bend and they had the cutest sprinkles cocktail on the menu called Caked Up. And I don't even like sprinkles..whaaat?? But it was pure fun and so yummy!

CHEERS MY DEARS!!!

MAY it be a SWEET WEEKEND!

AND Don't forget to STOP and smell the flowers!

FRIDAY FAVORITES JUST JUNE

Just sweet June! Summer seems to have officially arrived and it’s been a great week. I am dealing with a pinched nerve and while I’m one that wants immediate results in healing, I know it’s going to take a little bit to heal. I’m doing what I can to manage. And it's hair color day today so yay! And I definitely have some Friday favorites for you!

Chicago Getaway

You may remember, Mr. Nine and I shared a Chicago getaway to celebrate our anniversary. What a great time we had. Everything from walking the Riverwalk to shopping to sushi to warm cookies to a tasting menu and at a Michelin restaurant and walking along Lake Michigan. It was a nice getaway!

My Dress HERE (LOVED IT!)

I don't indulge often in pancakes, these cinnamon roll ones at Wildberry were AHHMAZING!!

So were the cookies at Levain in the West Loop. but per Mr. Nine, still not as good as mine, lol.

Our favorite people watching spot in Chicago.

Cutest Outdoor Taco place along the River Walk.

Our beloved Lake Michigan from the West Side Chicago.

Nature

Roses

I always have some nature to share. This week my roses started blooming! There’s nine of them which is perfect and they usually bloom about three times during the summer. This first bloom has been spectacular and smells so good. Waiting on my tea rose from Kathrine to bloom on the middle right, it's filled with buds too.
