Fashion Friday {Fall is here.. oh wait nevermind}

I know it might still be above 80 degrees almost everywhere I look. But I figured I would start getting these fall looks out so that everyone can pretend its nice and cozy. Even maybe prepare themselves a little for things they might like to get for fall. I hope I pretended well enough for you to believe I was cold. Because I was the complete opposite. This dress I found on clearance. I love a good deal. I was unsure for awhile but it's really a comfortable sweater material.

If you read our news a few weeks ago. We will be moving to Colorado very soon so I'm preparing myself for snow again. I haven't lived in a cold climate in almost 5 years now. We shall see if I can adapt again. If you have some cool places to explore in the Boulder area please reach out in the comments. I like to plan ahead. I want to start a bucket list so I can hit the ground running.

Fashion Friday {Ring in the New Year}

We are now officially in the last few days of 2018. The weird, strange days between Christmas and New Years that we just don't know what to do with. You all can relate! I don't even know what day it is. We didn't go anywhere for the holidays so it's been a long vacation at home. Can you say cabin fever? What are your new year plans?

Fashion Friday {Thanksgiving and Black Friday}

I hope everyone had a fantastic Thanksgiving! We had a quiet one at home. I wanted it as stress free as possible. No guests meant no one to impress with a super clean house and a million homemade recipes. I took a cue from one of my friends and got some microwavable dishes that tasted just like homemade. Then got a small turkey breast that was just enough for us. Found an awesome recipe on Pinterest that is officially our new turkey recipe. It was that good! Then the boys fell asleep. Caleb barely got through dinner before he started to fall asleep. Then since we had nothing else to do. Riley really wanted to experience some Black Friday shopping. So we went over to Target right when the doors opened and the line was HUGE! I've worked at Target before for on Black Friday and I've done way later in the day. But I've never stood in line for a sale. It was crazy everyone running for all the deals. I was there for one deal and one deal only. I wanted Outlander season 2 on blu-ray. Yet, I still managed to snatch up some other stuff while we were there.

Now, today on the real Black Friday I find myself using all my self control to not buy more stuff. I've been staying away from the ads, emails, and sites. I've stayed at home so I won't be tempted to go into the stores. It's been soo hard! I wish you brave souls all the luck in the world while you go out on your Black Friday shopping!

"May the odds ever be in your favor".
