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!

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

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!!

Happy Monday Angels!


SUMMER TO FALL DRESS & TBB FALL FASHION LINK-UP


Welcome Fine Friends to the First Fall Fashion Frenzy Link-Up installment for TBB weekly fashion and style link-up! Today we have the very important topic of Summer to Fall Fashion transition. Now, I personally don’t feel this is as tough as Winter to Summer transition but with very hot days still lingering yet chilling off quickly in the evening, it’s sometimes a what to wear middle of the line kind of thing. My favorite transition tends to be a pretty long sleeve dress or dress with cardi, still sans tights with any beloved peep toe bootie! 


I was so excited to get this dress in Old Navy on Friday and what a deal it was...$14! I had seen it online and since I love these style of comfy shift dresses, I decided to head over there and check it out In Person! The minute I saw it: SOLD! I also found some GREAT party dresses at a fabulous online site called Simply Be. Check them out HERE




The black back drop makes the floral print striking and the colors are so Fall reminiscent. I’ll look forward to wearing with s cardigan, sweater vest, maybe my new and later on, I’ll wear tights and closed toed booties and boots.

FRIDAY FAVORITES....HELLO APRIL


Wait…This is April? Well this week it was January cause you should’ve seen the snow and wind that flew on Wednesday. Crazy stuff. I was out shopping for my planters and porch décor in my winter coat, the wind whipping and driving on yucky roads. Sun is now shining as I write this and it’s a balmy 32 degrees. However, we are to wake up to more snow on the ground. But no mind, the weekend is here and I hope yours is sunshiny and great!

1. Celebrations
Boys were scattered and College-ing so Easter was just Mr. Nine and I and my mama. Brunch was scrumptious and the birthday was quiet this year. That’s ok cause next year I’ll be on a beach drinking a fruity cocktail…or two.

Barelegged and freezing, mom was smart. 



 Look at this deliciousness and the mimosa of the day was a pear/cinnamon..yummy! 



Mr. Nine got me the perfect float to officially kick off the month of pool install, I blew out candles on my key lime pie of which I had two pieces that morning, Nine Guy also got me a Coral Yeti (coral is my favorite color) and I got my free Starbucks! Hey Starbucks, you used to offer the birthday bevi free anytime in your birthday month, now it’s only the day of.


2. Gifts of Love
There are tons of you all who made this birthday extra special and I wanted to share some of the delightful gifts that landed on my doorstep. My heart is overflowing with love for each one of you that sent texts, messages, tweets, comments and gifts. You have helped me get through this transitional time in my life more than you’ll ever now and I treasure you near and far. Most of all, the friendship and love I share with all of you is my greatest gift of all.

Lana is one of my Blended Blog sisters who I had the pleasure of meeting on Our TBB Toronto Trip last year. This lady is the real deal and she lights up a room with your warm, calm presence. Adore her!

This curly blonde babe is a bestie of mine. She has a heart as big as they come, her sass, wit, strength and beauty amazing me daily! Look at the Glam Bar Cart additions!

My Sister-In-Law and Brother-In-Law and Fam 
I am sooo lucky to call this family mine. Mr. Nine’s only sister is as precious as they come as is our BIL, niece and nephew!! Love them to pieces. Look, even some “9” Lotto tixs! 

If I ever do win the lottery, I am hiring Missy to come cook for me. Isn’t the title of her blog hilarious? This lawyer by day, chef for fun by night and weekends is the prettiest, most talented gal in NOLA!

Emily was another one of the first blogs I read and her heart is the greatest! Everyone said the card looked like me and that’s exactly what Em thought. This girl is my personal ray of Florida sunshine!

My Mama
You all know how I feel about my mom and you all helped make her feel special too last November. I could write tons of blog posts about this lady but you all know already that she is the hippest, sweetest, most precious mom ever! She makes life fun and special!

AND How CUTE is this outfit she got me in Florida!! I'm thinking lounging by the pool or date day by water!!! 




And another TBB sista, sweet Carrie put the cherry on top with her sweet Post today over at The Blended Blog. Thank you my precious friend!! I'm so humbled and honored!
Isn't she the cutest!!

5. Misc.Fun
Hint ~ The Pineapple Flavor 
Completely natural flavored water with 0 calories and no after taste? I am so in. I tried this in some other flavors a while back and it was tasty, just the right “hint” of fruit flavor but the pineapple (which I found at Target) has my heart!! Will be my go to Summer Beverage. 

Front Door Mat
This door mat is so great. I had sitting there a much smaller, regular size so I was so excited to see Target had the cutest larger ones that suits the front door so much better. It's 23x35 and on sale for 15% off this week, so it is under $20.
