I FOUND MY EASTER DRESS

Signal SUNSHINE!!! A yellow dress as beautiful as this has to signal the start of spring, right? It’s coming it’s coming, and I think I might be lucky enough to have already found my Easter dress! Easter is not until April 12 this year but it’s never too early to shop spring dresses!

Here’s what you’re really not going to believe. I got this dress from Nordstrom Rack. I rarely shop Nordstrom Rack, but let me tell you, what I have got from there is premium quality pieces/like 70 to 80% off! You guys, BIG news, this dress was only $34.97 and is completely stocked in all sizes.

I love the tiers, length and fit! There is lace detailing at the bottom of the sleeves and neckline. Yet, the true star of the show to me, is the GORGEOUS yellow print. I shared this dress in my Instagram stories on Sunday and y’all just loved it. Me too friends, it’s a goodie!

Easter, Weddings, Baby Showers, Brunch, Lovely Dinners...this dress covers Spring occasions in the sweetest way!

TBB ASKS ~ GIVING THANKS EDITION

The Fall harvest, bounty of the season and holidays floating in the air, signals the perfect time to give thanks! Go get a little Autumn crazy and join us or hop around and check out what others like about this glorious, gateway to the Holiday, season! 
Let’s get to it! 


1. Have you ever kept a Gratitude Journal? Yes or No? I kept a diary growing up, but that changed over to a gratitude type journal 22 years ago after two local teenage girls were killed in a car accident.
My actual first diary...1986

2. Hosting Thanksgiving at your house? Yes or No? Yes, for the first time in many years. We will be having my mom’s side of the family. Look at the place cards I have been making for the dinner.

3. Favorite Food from The Thanksgiving Meal? Hands down, the turkey and stuffing! My due date with the oldest was on Thanksgiving but before I knew that I craved my family’s turkey and stuffing so how appropriate. And my parents always save me the crispy skin on the turkey....YUM!!
Mom's Bird is always beautiful!

Here is my BEST
Thanksgiving Side Recipe
Sweet Potato Crisp Casserole

4. What one thing in Nature are you most grateful for? So many things thanks to God's magnificent creation, but 2 especailly.....the changing leaves and snowflakes. Each one different and beautiful!
 The Burning bushes surrounding the pond across form our house are incredible!

I do love the white stuff too! 

5. Pumpkin Pie: Yes or No? NO! Isn’t it ironic? I am pumpkins and pumpkin treats, PSL’s, lotions, you name it, crazy.... but I DO NOT like pumpkin pie. 

6. Traditional Cookbook: Yes or No? Traditional, although I do print off a lot of recipes and store in a binder. I don't like reading the recipe off a phone or iPad because I have a tendency to make a mess.

The BH&G NEW cook book is my favorite, Had it for years, like it even better than Betty Crocker. Makes a GREAT Christmas or Wedding Gift!
BUY MOST RECENT EDITION HERE
And Anything from JoJo, Like Magnolia Table or Ina or Giada!

7. Oven Baked or Deep-Fried Turkey? See #3....OVEN BAKED to golden brown and mom saves me the crispy skin. Even though I am hosting this year, mom is still making the turkey and dressing.

8. Thanksgiving Leftovers: Yes or No? OH yes, especially turkey sandwiches.

9. What is one household product your most grateful for? That's tough but one thing I do use most everyday is my Dyson V6 cordless vacuum! Now that we have a lot of wood flooring, that thing is a lifesaver to quickly pick up crumbs on the floor, especially in the kitchen. This girl loves a VERY clean floor!
BUY HERE

10. Are you most grateful for home cooked meals or restaurant meals? Both. You all know I LOVE to cook and bake but what a treat to go out to eat, which is rare for us. And home cooke meals are so special if done by my mom. However, I especially love it when we can all go out together as a family. One of my favorite meals of the year is our January tradition at Ruth Chris. So yummy and fun!  

I am headed off on a day adventure with my amazing mom for her Birthday today. Remember the epic one that many of you assisted with Last Year??
CHEERS TO SWEET MOMS!!

Get Your Thankful on and Join us and take time to count all there is to be grateful for!!  


TBB ASKS ~ FALL 2.0

Fall makes me wanna twirl around 3 times in my favorite Shirt with a PSL in a pumpkin patch and yell Happy Fall Y'All real loud but I’d get dizzy and probably trip over a pumpkin, lol. But I can do our monthly TBB ASKS and rejoice in the Fact that’s it’s all things Fall 2.0! Go a little Autumn crazy and join us or hop around and check out what others like about this glorious gateway to the Holidays season! 
Let’s get to it!


1. Favorite Fall Color? Rust

2. Apple Cider HOT or COLD? Both, but HOT more.

3. Caramel Apple: Yes or No? YES but no nuts on it, just good ole' caramel.

4. Pumpkin Doughnut or Apple Cider Doughnut? MMM you think I'm gonna say pumpkin don't you and of course I am over the moon for the Pumpkin Spice Krispy Kremes but A warm apple cider doughnut cannot be beat.



5. Long or Short Cardigan? An In-Between, this is one of my favorites and look it's rust!
Similar Cardigan HERE // BOOTS (LOVE) HERE
White Henley HERE

6. Favorite Football or Fall Party Food? Sliders...My party Sliders..easy and delish!
RECIPE HERE

7. Orange or White Pumpkins? White, used to be orange and I still like orange but I am decorating with White to go with the new house color scheme. I better say green and Blue too!
Porch Post HERE

Of course bringing the neutral pumpkins inside too and cannot wait to show you the Fall Indoor Decor!

8. Hayride or Bonfire? Bonfire! Hayrides are fun but knowing me I end up with Hay somewhere odd. Sitting around a fire on a crisp Fall evening is so relaxing but it's hayride pics I have. LOL.
Throwback of sun in eyes on wagon
And Obviously NOT a good hair day for any of us, lol.

9. Favorite Fall Baked Good? So many, so little time on the pumpkin. Yes, all my pumpkin concoctionss and purchased goods are to die for and you can see all those delights in my RECIPIES TAB but to me, Fall is also the season of nuts so let me tell, these Toffee Pecan Dream Bars are a winner too!!

10. Most anticipated Fall activity? Besides the trip with Mr. Nine Up North in a few weeks.... with a trip to my favorite bakery in all the land......
