FRIDAY FAVORITES...HELLO AUTUMN & TRADER JOE'S

Fall Fabulous, Awesome Autumn, I don’t care what you call it I’m just excited it’s officially seeping into our neck of the woods. It’s been in the 80s all week but the cool down actually starts on the first day of Fall which I just heard is Monday. And if you saw all the pumpkins on my Instagram stories this week, you know I’m ready to get out there and decorate that front porch! After the pain from my root canal yesterday wears off!

1. Day Date Do Over

If you remember, a day date a few weeks ago (read HERE) didn’t go so well because of me downing Key lime martini’s, so this date do over on a perfect 75° sunny day caused me to be on my best behavior. The only things getting drunk were the bees that fell into my frozen concoction, LOL! But we had a terrific time, dining rooftop at one of our favorite places, sitting outside at a brewery, going to the local produce in greenhouse market, having a yummy pretzel and a couple beverages at the distillery and then headed back to our town for some yummy ice cream! A great day!

2. Trader Joe's Finds

I got even more excited for fall when I went to Trader Joe’s recently and scooped up some of their seasonal items. These are my favorites. I know many of you have tried these and love them as well.

The yummiest and cutest lil shortbread pumpkin cookies...

...which I like to have with this delightful Harvest Tea. Afternoon teatime is a favorite thing of mine. 

Did someone say season Kringle! A guy in the store was kind enough to open a package and give us samples and well, SOLD! This pumpkin Kringle was delightful, especially with a warm bevy. 

My favorite pumpkin yogurt of all time! All the Trader Joe’s yogurts are fabulous, and I try and find one with no fat and a small amount of sugar and I just love the creaminess and thickness to these! I add some yummy nuts and I’m good to go!

Lovely smelling shaving cream.

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.

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!
