FRIDAY FAVORITES....ME AND YOU EDITION

"Me and You!" That Kenny Chesney song is our wedding song and tomorrow is our Anniversary! We’ve had a lot of heavy stuff going on lately, but my man is a rock and a sweetheart....Mr. Nine...My definite Favorite! And let’s get to all the other goodies too! I've got it packed full of goodness today Kicking off this fabulous Memorial Day weekend!

Bonus: Our Anni Fun

We’re going to celebrate our Anniversary in style in a beloved Lake Michigan town at a fabulous little boutique bed-and-breakfast! Here is a picture of it. It was voted best of the best on TripAdvisor, in other words, in the top 1% of the worlds accommodations and voted one of the most romantic! If you follow me on Instagram, I’ll be sure to share some goodness and Instagram stories.

We will be in the Guest Manor on the Left.

1. Day with Mom

My mom and I had the best day on Tuesday! It was a hot but beautiful and breezy day. We started off having brunch in a nearby town at a place called the Chicory Café! It’s New Orleans inspired and oh so yummy! We even had warm beignets with our cappuccinos and Mimosa’s! Look how cute mom looked in her little striped top! Afterwards, we changed clothes and walked the town’s Riverwalk! It was more than we ever imagined, and we saw so many cool things, lots of pretty perennial flowers, sculptures, little gnome villages around trees and even a mini-Cooper mounted sideways on the side of a building! Plus, we got in about 4 miles! Then, we came back and had a pool afternoon! Love these days!

2. Promos of Goodness

The Hotel Collection 

These Candles are heavenly. The new Gatsby Line is especially divine, very aromatic for both women and men alike, it will make you want to sip champagne in a dimly lit lounge listening to swanky music. Not just candles, but reed dossiers, oil diffusers and room spray too! Very reminiscent of the Roaring twenties and GREAT gift idea. I’ll be lighting one for our Anniversary!

I have a 20% off code for you!!

Magic Spoon

Magic indeed! I was skeptical. I have been seeing this Magic Spoon cereal everywhere and it absolutely lives up to the hype! I adore cereal but I don’t buy it or eat it very often because of all the artificial flavors and sugars and bad stuff for you! But this Magic Spoon has made me love eating cereal again! Zero sugars in all of their cereals. Grain free, gluten-free, soy free, GMO, let’s just say it has none of the bad stuff but is chocked full of protein! Like 14 grams a serving! The frosted and the peanut butter are my favorites and I love you that you can get a variety pack to try it. AND that you can build your own bundle which I am doing next.

I have a $5 off code for you!!

You know I love it when Mr. Nine joins me in collaborations! We were both over the moon to get some cuteness from Liverpool Jeans! Not only are our jeans from Liverpool, but my beautiful coral and soft Jean jacket and white blouse is as well! Mr. Nine put on his first pair of jeans and said I am in love! He is very picky about his jeans, but these checked off every box for him and I’m telling you, your husband would love them! My frayed him hugger jeans fit me perfectly as well! I love everything they have to offer!

NATURE

Of course, more nature round our house to be had. 

 

These Hibiscus..pretty evident that their name of “Fiesta” lives up. Don’t these colors just look like a Mexican party!

There are 3 families of Geese around the pond right now and this Geese parent was telling her Goslings to "hurry up!" Probably because the Nine lady was approaching, lol!

SEEING LEAVES...A FALL TRIP TO NORTHERN MICHIGAN

Gale force winds and Rain just do not mix with a frolicking in the leaves kind of weekend! Mr. Nine and I went on our annual trip to northern Michigan to our favorite town to not only view the leaves but to attend the beloved Fall Festival! Unfortunately, mother nature intervened, once again, remember the windy trip with my mom in August (Read HERE), and really didn’t allow us to do the Fall things we truly wanted to do. You know Mr. Nine and I, we made the most of it and it was relaxing to get away, but we’ve got a solution for next year in place!

Plus, can we talk about how the people that compose the leaf touring map in Michigan are liars, LOL! we both get emails from Pure Michigan and we always look forward to the yearly fall foliage forecast. Those emails had stated that the P could be a little early this year Because of the summer we had and that the leaves were at their peak where we were headed but they were wrong. My first full day up there we did travel little further north just to get a few pictures. I’m going to do next year is just watch the weather every single day there’s a stretch of fairly warm temps and sunshine with no rain or wind in sight we’re just going to head that way at the spur of the moment.

Travel outfit consisted of beloved stripes.

Nonetheless, we were able to have our favorite meals at a favorite little restaurant and of course I have my beloved Bailey’s and coffee. 

Mr. Nine indulged me in using the remote control to get some pictures since I match with the leaves. And we laughed the whole entire time.

AND I was super excited to get a mango margarita and yummy Mexican including chips with delicious queso.

Saturday was a little bit of another story because that’s when the Gail force plans entered into the picture. It made it feel like winter and we felt so sorry for the small amount of people in the Parade. 

The Scottville Clown Band is awesome...

The band members come from all over Michigan and over 14 other states, from California, Tennessee, Florida and even New York. The members are a very diverse group, some doctors, firemen, police officers, bankers, and realtors. This hilarious group of very talented musicians come together many times throughout the year to share this passion for entertaining crowds and travel all over Michigan to strut their stuff.

We did indulge in our favorite Fries on the planet from Frankz and the Local Bakery Pretzel Bites and Beer at the Stormcloud Brewery for Oktoberfest.

This cracked us up!

What do you do when in our favorite Lake town, no better the weather, you bundle up to view the lake and the favorite Light House!! We have NEVER, and I do mean NEVER seen crashing waves like this on Lake Michigan. We felt like we were at the Ocean.

 

Yes, it was that COLD..with the wind, was like 30's..brrrr

Check out this video I took of the waves and 

the crazy guy trying to go out to surf

This is how we spend the rest of the Day/evening...cozy and ..did watch out Irish win!

Thank goodness I got at least one halfway decent pic what this year’s Giant Pumpkin winner, lol!

We went far enough North on Friday to at last see this!

Tradition on the way home included a stop at Miller's Fruit Market for honeycrisp apples and a picture by each year’s changing pumpkin display. This year's truck was not my favorite, lol

HAPPY NEW FALL WEEK PUNKINS!!
