How I do fall around the house.

I don't really go overboard by any means with my fall decorations...I just like to add enough "festiveness" to get in the spirit of the season.  I didn't buy anything new this year...(one day I'll stop spending all of my money on my child....) but till then, what I have will have to do:-)  Anyways, as evident by the below pictures this ain't no southern living spread, but regardless...it makes me happy.

This is our breakfast room, so the table we eat at all the time.  I'm still debating whether I'll do a table setting on it during Christmas, but for now I wanted it simple.  So a few pumpkins and gourds was all it got.


This is the console table in our foyer, I cannot WAIT to get some new buffet lamps (or maybe just ONE big statement lamp) and some frames to do a series of botanicals instead of the mirror...but that will all come in time.  For now I added some fun fall flair.


And the dining room...this room is right as you walk into our house on the left, so anyone visiting sees it right away.  And ohmygoodness....seeing this pictures reminds me how much I dislike this furniture...all I see is RED.  I've talked about it before...but the china cabinet my dad built which I LOVE and will keep, but the table and chairs were my grandparents and I am just using them until I get something new.  I really want my dad to build me a farmhouse style table with dark wood...but until he gets some time to do that I may have to paint this stuff...don't know if I can handle it that long.  I think the red tones in the heart pine china cabinet will be fine when they are grounded by some darker furniture...but right now it is just TOO much red.  But, goodness gracious....who wants to come paint!?  Ugh.

Anyways, I think the table looks pretty, it's still undecided whether we will be hosting Mikey's family for Thanksgiving; but if we do I'll be ready!





That's all I've got...maybe next year I'll add some flair to the mantel:)

Happy Tuesday!

xoxo

    I knew you had some fall love in you somewhere.. haha! Get some Annie Sloan chalk paint and get to work on that table and chairs. I bet it'd make a huge difference! Although, I kind of like the wood. :)

To my boys {almost two months late}

MY BOYS: A whole hand.   I can’t believe it.   The past five years have gone by at lightning speed!   You two silly, crazy, sweet, handsome boys celebrated FIVE like you do all other things- with genuine excitement and happiness in your hearts.   Y’all love life to the fullest and have the best imaginations- I could sit and listen to the two of you “play and talk” to each other ALL the live long day.   Y’all rarely fight, but when you do you make up within like 12 seconds, you boys are so different, but yet so the same.   You’ve both grown up in SO many ways and sometimes I have to blink to remind myself you are still my babies (because you are and always will be) but you both still have remnants of “babyhood” that I sure hope stays around a little longer.   It’s been a complete JOY to be your mama the past five years, as much as I want to keep you this AGE FOREVER, I know it’s not possible and am excited to watch you two grow and blossom in l...

What's in a name?

I tell ya, the name game is HARD. Really hard. I never thought that I'd be 27 years old and pregnant and not know what I wanted to name my child. I *think* we have come up with the one , but I'm not quite ready to put it out for the world to see...you know, don't want to many people rushing to get monogrammed bubbles. Ha! Jokes! Anyways...so I can look back and remember what all we went thru to come up with a name in 20 years I am going to lay it all out there. I'll start with saying I want a family name to be somewhere in my children's names. It doesn't have to be a first name, but some name in the child's name I want to be from a family member/family. We'll start with boys names, because they got taken off the table when we found out it was a GIRL..this will be short. Mikey's middle name is Thomas...his grandfather's name is Thomas. So...we always said Thomas would be in our son's name. I always thought it would be cool to do a Tho...

2019 family Village Creek trip

Our 2019 summer family vacation was everything I could have asked for, and more!  This year, my parents and nephew joined us for the week so we had extra fun!  (and extra chaos of course, too!)  We did ALL the things, but yet also did ALL the relaxing.  We arrived on G and T's actual, bday so we started our trip with a special birthday lunch in downtown Beaufort with just the boys since Collins rode down with my mom.  We also finally experienced the drive in movie that night for Toy Story 4 and it was AWESOME!  We only had one day of cloudy weather so that was awesome!  We ventured to Bohicket Marina, Harbor Town, Harbor Island, Edisto Island, Botany Bay, our favorite sandbar AND downtown Beaufort by boat, we had a ball!   My dad got some AMAZING fireworks and we had a little show for the culdesac, so much fun!!  Mikey and I even got to sneak out one n...
