FRIDAY FAVORITES....SLOW DOWN OCTOBER

I must say, this has been one of the best weeks so far this Fall! But it's going too fast! I’m finally free on Instagram. It continues to block this blog website in my profile. I’m hearing from people that they are doing that a lot now and I’m going to have to buy my own domain name, so I did that. After almost 6 years blogging, I can’t believe I hadn’t done that already. If you have bought your own blog domain name and you are a blogger platform blog gal, please let me know how if the transition was smooth and seamless for you and if it will redirect and appear on Bloglovin like normal?

1. Days with PEOPLE, lol

I actually got a day not only with my mom for Walking, blizzards and sitting in the sun but also a lunch with a girlfriend alfresco because we are having unseasonal like temperatures! In fact, tomorrow they’re calling for 77 and Mr. Nine and I are wishing we kept our pool open longer, LOL!

Look how cute mom looks!

My lovely friend Kim and I

2. Pumpkin Goodness...

Brought Home from Kansas

You know I am obsessed with pumpkins, inside and out! Did you see my fall porch on Monday? I love you so much! Anyway, when we were in Kansas several weeks ago, I saw this pumpkin patch sign and I couldn’t stop thinking about it, so I called the shop owner and had her hold it for me and paid for it over the phone. 

She had just gotten some white faux fur pumpkins in and asked if I wanted a couple of those as well. Heck yes, I do! So, when Mr. Nine drove out there last week for business, he went to the shop got my goods and brought them home and I love them so much! And him!

And how is this adorable is this pumpkin palm tree my mom found for all my Florida friends?

FRIDAY FAVORITES....TREES PLEASE

This week goes down in history as the earliest and most accumulated snowfall and coldest temps! Winter has arrived. On Tuesday, schools were closed down and we had 18 inches of snow on the ground. It was crazy but it allowed me to get the entire house decorated except for my Balsam Hill big tree, which we FINALLY got a replacement for...only it went to the wrong address. Thank goodness it is only 7 miles aways and Mr. Nine has a big truck. That sucker is HEAVY!!

Had to share the beautiful snow first, it's favorite just NOT this early!

1. Flocked Trees First
Speaking if trees, Since I can’t have the big tree up yet, I decorated several other trees, you know I have a total of 15. I thought I would share a couple of them (the new flocked ones) with you now but of course I’ll do a whole Christmas decor post at some point.

I have wanted a flocked tree but with all the Balsam Hill stuff, there was no way I was getting a thousand dollar flocked for our big tree, but I did get a 6 1/2 footer for my office and I love it! Don’t you just live the girlie pinks, champagnes and faux fur!

BUY Similar Unlit HERE

And how sweet is this little 4 foot lit Flocked Tree from Wal-Mart. I raised it by putting it in a basket, added some faux fur around the base and a strand of Faux fur white ball garland and I love it! It reminds me of the snow, and I am honoring our sweet Daisy with it since she loved the snow. Can you believe it is only $27 bucks. I saw similar ones this size for $80!!

 2. Festive Tees

You know I’m crazy about my holiday graphic tees! These two for Thanksgiving are still available this year and I got so many compliments on them last year that I think you’ll absolutely love them! The Gobble one is PRIME too so you'll have it in 2 days!

So, you know I’ve been showing you my pumpkin colored and burgundy colored utility jackets, but I forget about the old standby: the olive utility jacket. Not quite sure how this outfit came together but when it did, it really worked!
Oh and with all the snow making it tough for photos, I am glad I still ave several from pre-snow on the ground!

FRIDAY FAVORITES...IN THE PINK EDITION

Happy Friday Friends! I am having a kind of like/hate relationship with this empty nest thing. Thanks goodness these are my favorite months coming up and lots to keep me busy. Thank you for indulging me in Pink Week. Lots more pink related goodness to bring you today too.

1. Baby Shower

My mom and I attended the sweetest baby shower last weekend for my cousin. Talk about overjoyed over the fact that the baby is a girl and of course all the pink love! On my dad's immediate side of the family, this is the first girl since her sweet mama, my cousin Abby, was born almost 32 years ago!

Clockwise, from top left, cousin love, Abby and her man; who is a famous Hair colorist in California, my beautiful mama and the yummiest cupcakes from Craven Cupcakes!

Of course, I couldn’t resist getting the baby girl some designer jeans and cozy UGGs! Just how cute are these friends!

2. Low Carb Snack Idea

I am a snacker for sure! I recently discovered this fabulous low carb snack and my family loved it as well! I did the math, and you can eat 16 of these and it’s only 100 calories! So flavorful! Just Turkey Pepperoni with a smidge of low fat soft cream cheese and a little piece of banana pepper. 

3. Week's Attire
Here is one of my favorite Rail’s dresses, just love the blush/mauve pink stripe!

I was over the moon for this beautiful floral and ruffle dress from Lulus! Have you ever shopped at Lulu’s? Their stuff is so stinking cute! And I found the perfect lace up fuchsia block heel sandals to go with it! They were so comfortable, and they come in four colors!
