Rain Edition

So everyone knows that Texas has been in a drought this summer, we over achieved on our consistent heat-crazy days by breaking the most triple digit days in one summer... 70! geeeeeez! We came so close to breaking the most triple digit days in a row with 40 and the record being 42... sadly I think most people were disappointed in not breaking the record.. I mean, if we are suffering for 40 days, we may as well go an extra 3 and put it in the record books, right?

Then our poor state was plagued with wild fires.. devastating.

Well this past weekend was a great reminder that nature will equal itself out. We got lots of rain, which we hadnt seen in quite some time... and what better time than the weekend to get some rain?? I know I certainly cant complain about a lazy day cuddlin on the couch with my itsy bits fam and maybe sneaking a few cat naps here and there...



The only bummer about the rain, was the delays for the Rangers game and the postponing of game 2... buuuuut, I'll take the rain... Chris Cabrera, my favorite blog reader, do you agree??? ;)





Ever since I was young, I loooove watching a storm roll in. Some of my early memories are of watching the clouds come in with my dad or making a picnic in the back of his el camino (thats right, Scotty Potty was a proud owner of an el camino) in the garage as it poured down rain... My favorite soccer games were in the rain... the muddier a slide tackle could be the better! Even now you'll catch me and Scott still loving the breeze of a storm as the clouds roll in.




So today, I am thankful for the rain and I'm hoping for all the rainy days we can get! What are you thankful for??

Happy Fall!

My most favoritest season of all is in full swing, and we are surely celebrating it here at our house.. I started with our mantle, and then last week I went ahead a dressed up the rest of the house...

 Our foyer area..

The bar area... we also have candy corns in martini glasses...

This cutie is my favorite new piece I stumbled across at HomeGoods!

 And my other favorite area - our dining room. I found the burlap table runner on etsy - so fall and so cute!

Obviously, it looks a lot better in person, so you should come stop by! :)

I love getting new things for the house for all the new seasons, especially when I can find steals out and about! Getting a bit ahead of myself, but looking forward to Christmas too!!

Make fun of me if you would like... I am way behind in this trend.. But this week I may or may not have found a bit of time on my hands and signed up and looked around... If you are following me, I formally apologize, I am not pinning anything at this time, I am just looking...

I found things that were useful, that I will use, and things that were, well... funny! So here we go:

Something about this scream JoJo - but I also feel like I will use this for some shower/party or whatnot. You can get the whole to do HERE.

I can do this... yes I completely understand that you all are aware of my baking misfortunes.. BUT I can make my mom's rum cake or banana cake, so clearly I can Make this cutie fall dessert... I'll prove it, you'll see!

I truly wish that I had seen this prior to our wedding... its hysterical!

When you come over post Thanksgiving, you will be seeing these in my home, all over... even if that means I am choosing wines over the next month based on their shape... I'll do it in the name of decorating!

I'm already dreaming of what my house will be smelling like when I make these:

I am someone who is constantly cold.. and well I think this would suit my fancy:

I cannot cook a dessert, in which we have already discussed... however, if i were to bake a dessert, this maaaay be the ultimate

Should we be taking this to any tailgate parties we go to? I think so!

I will keep dabbling and see what other things I can find... what have you found in Pinterest?????
