Did anyone else have a WILD Monday? Just me? Well here's to a fantastic Tuesday!
{Which has been flying by....so glad it's already lunchtime!}

Moving right along...this past weekend didn't go quite as planned. But that didn't keep us from having a good time!

Saturday was supposed to be filled with canoes, brews, and friends. The day started out well, with breakfast with the in-laws, but then the boys changed their minds about going canoeing. We decided to move our Sunday plans up a bit since the weather was supposed to turn ugly after Saturday. 

I snapped a few pictures of this pretty hibiscus plant before we left the in-laws.

We spent the rest of Saturday traveling around all of the some backwoods in middle TN. It was so much fun! I love seeing parts of TN that I've never had the chance to visit before--especially this time of year when everything is just SO pretty! 

Here are some pictures from our day...

What mini road-trip would be complete without good country tunes?

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

I had a blast behind the camera! I'm obviously not a professional, I just really enjoy capturing the pretty things around us. P.s. Does anyone know why some of the pictures are grainy after touch-up??

Saturday night was just as fun! We had our friends over for a firepit fire campfire and s'mores. It was fun catching up with everyone--we've all been so busy lately, it was great to just have some chill time. 

 Sunday is always the "finish the weekend to-do list" day, so that's exactly what we did. I also worked on making over a thrifted chair...can't wait to show you the finished product!

 

A sneak peek at the fabric I used. Also, it's TOUGH to
decide on corner designs when redoing seat cushions!

 What did you do this past weekend? Anything fun?

My Weekend-According to my iPhone

As per usual, parts of my weekend were captured by my iPhone. Here's a little photo update of what went on around here this past weekend...

Dinner and drinks....and wedding talk with the boy.

Car pictures while we waited on my Dad's family for lunch.

Envelope stuffing party!

And they're ready to send out!

Nothing terribly overwhelming. Not to you at least ;) We stuffed our wedding envelopes and marked a few other important wedding related items off of our checklist. It feels good to be getting so many things done! Only 3 months to go!! ------- I hope you have a happy Monday, lovelies!

Friday's Letters {winter blues}

Dear Readers, Wanna know something? The winter blues are real--and very similar to a case of the Monday's. I've had a case of the winter blues for the last month or so. I haven't been completely down and out, but I feel like the person in the commercial with the cloud following them around. Except the cloud is a dreary grey/blue and tends to snow.

Dear Blog, The winter blues might explain my absence from you. Or maybe that's just because I'm busy? Dear Time, Seriously! Slow down a bit. I feel like my life is passing by as quickly as the speed of light. Dear boy, You are the best thing. Period. Dear Pinterest recipes, Thank you for not letting me down!! {see some of my favs here} Dear New Job, I am still liking you. I could get used to this ;) Dear Weather, SHAPE UP! I need some sunshine on the weekend. Dear Jess, I'm really excited that you're blogging again! And thanks for the tech info, I enjoy learning cool kid stuff. Dear Weekend, I want you to go by slowly and I want to thoroughly enjoy you. Just a little heads up ;) ------- See the rest of the Friday's Letters {here}.

A Day In The Life...Weekend Edition

I'm taking the lead from Erin over at Living In Yellow to share a day in my life through nothing but photos. I didn't instagram them so that they are as real as possible :) What does a day in your life look like? -------

Doesn't this look like a dress? Hahaha
His blanket (really a beach towel) is his favorite thing!

It was storming when we woke up, so I turned on some
Christmas music to help ease into the day.

Who else likes ketchup on their eggs??

Gotta love Bath & Body Works winter candles!

The Boys :)

Working on an Etsy order.

Lunch...

More work...

Perusing the cookie aisle at Kroger...I didn't buy any.

What I did buy at Kroger.

Dinner and PLL.

Wine of the weekend. One of my favorites.

Late night Christmas shopping.

What did you do this weekend?? I only left the house once to take a redbox back and grab a snack/junk from Kroger to eat for dinner since the boy wasn't home for the night. I really live a glamorous life, no?
