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 wire, 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, throw a 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 you 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 HASTA LA VISTA JANUARY

What? Are you kidding me? The longest day of the year is finally over, I mean month, I mean, January, lol! You did it friends! But I’d be lying if I said I don’t want snow in February, just give us a couple blasts, lol! 

Not a favorite this week with some tooth pain I had, the dentist was able to fit me in on Wednesday and I was scared to death that there was going to be infection and a root canal and crown needed. I actually was one of those cases that baffled him because he was a little bit unsure what was going on and doesn’t want to do any kind of work until we have a definitive diagnosis, so I have a mouthwash I’m using and we’re going to look at the tooth again in two weeks. I’m hoping for the best. Let’s get to some Friday favorites, friends!

Shopping with the Babes

Shopping at Home Goods with these two, their mama and my mom and then all having lunch together at Panera to celebrate their mommy’s birthday was definitely a favorite!

Massage 

Last year I had so much stress and so many neck problems that a friend of mine suggested the massage therapist where she works. Luckily for me, she also does massage out of her home and will come to yours. I’m now on her books monthly and she has done wonders, this coming from a girl who never used to get massages, lol. I went to her house Tuesday, and I was so relaxed all day!

Obviously After, LOL

Outfits

Free Assembly Spring Cuteness

I showed you a Collage last week with some of the cutest pieces from the Free assembly line at Walmart. Luckily, this week several of the line’s pieces arrived at my house, and I am here to tell you the quality is spectacular! Just look how cute. I think my favorite might be that. Let me know your favorite.

Stella Mae

This girl! Mr. Nine’s girl! And mine. Celebrating three years next week of her gotcha day. She is the best dog that either one of us have had. She is 8 pounds of pure love and devotion! She is truly happiest when she is either outside with us, going for a car ride, getting a pup cup with her “Giga,” hanging with her boyfriend Tater, or lounging on our laps. A true lap dog with so much love! She sleeps curled right up next to me, and we truly do not know what we would do without her. Not kidding when I say we’ve seriously investigating cloning her DNA, lol!

Her Boyfriend Tater

Blast from Last 

My Galentine’s. A set of ladies I also don’t know what I would do without. We try to get together quarterly, and this was one of several visits last year. In April, we did a favorite things party in Chicago and had an absolute blast. Lots of cocktail time too.

CHICWISH REVIEW 2022

Cinderella had her fairy godmother to grant all her fashion dreams, and now you’ve got Chicwish This brand offers a wide variety of whimsical and trendy clothing that falls into all different style categories—there’s something for everyone. Today, I'll talk about why Love Chicwish, lots of Q& A about the brand and I'll show you my latest, gorgeous pieces form them!

Who Is Chicwish for?

Chicwish is designed for anyone who is looking to add some affordable, classic options to their outfit rotation. The majority of the inventory is marketed towards young women, but there are plenty of unisex styles available.

Why do I LOVE Chicwish?

I love Chicwish for several reasons. The biggest reason being the vast selection. You can find so many cute pieces including event pieces like a dress to wear to a wedding or showers. They even have some formal type dresses. Yet they also have fun everyday pieces and I love the feminine touches. Things are affordable and well made. Textures and fabrics are fun especially their knits and fun tulle skirts. The selection of outerwear is fabulous too and things I keep in my closet forever. The red cape I’m featuring below is my most festive piece for here at the holidays and so fun!

How is Chicwish Sizing?

Everything I got from Chicwish fit TTS. Most items range XS-XL. Some items come S/M or L/XL. Each garment has the sizing details listed which helps determine which size you should order. My number one tip is to have your measurements on hand, and you’ll know your exact fit. Out of about 4 dozen pieces I have gotten from only one item was too small and one too big.

AFFORDABLE SUMMER DRESSES TO BEAT THE HEAT

Oh, my it’s HAWT! I will be composing my posts in the coolest spot possible because Indiana is setting record temps. I’m hearing much other countries experiencing the same thing so it’s very important not only to wear a cute dress for time to time but to keep completely cool in the heat and these affordable (all under $35), colorful dresses will fit that bill perfectly!

 

This Color Block Cutie from Walmart comes in two different color ways and is the most affordable of all coming in at 19.98! This is from the Time and Tru line which I like to call tried and true because everything from this line always just works! This does run a little large to size down but it is also breezy sweet and the material is really nice. LOVE this dress!

This Dress is my favorite just because of the back. It is so stinking cute and I love the red and pinks! Isn’t it just dreamy? I feel so summer sweet in this! It is a great Amazon Find!! OH this Dress LOVE

Oh my goodness, talk about a one shoulder wonder with This Dress!!! First of all, I love the pink and green! And secondly, it is just so striking on. This Dress is from the Scoop line at Walmart.

  

It was so cute, I asked Mr. Nine which of the three was his favorite and he said “all of them” and I said, no help me pick one and he said “all of them because of the person that is wearing them!” He’s a keeper!

BUT, Which is your Favorite??
