Cheers to the Weekend!
We have a low key weekend planned before a busy November kicks off – and I need to finalize the girls Halloween costumes! Ah! Kip veto’d my idea of the old ladies because he said they’d rip the wigs right off of their head (probably true) so it won’t be anything too exciting.
Next year though…. NEXT YEAR I am forcing myself to get crafty and make them the Toy Story Slinky. I have to!
:: Fall Decor ::Â
I ordered this $18 wreath and this $28 doormat for our front door for fall.
I used to buy a real wreath but always kill it in no time, so this will do for now!
And I’m allllll about the navy gingham.
I saw Liz Adams post the doormat on her instagram and hunted down a navy one on Amazon!
:: Pumpkins ::Â
Speaking of navy gingham…..
I have been wanting to make gingham pumpkins for forever, so decided to finally try it out.
I finished painting these last night and can’t wait to set them up on the porch fireplace.
I am *not* crafty at all so they are pretty messy but I still love them. I’ll take a better pic once they dry!
I know, I know…… soooo crafty of me.
Just call me Martha.
:: Porch Pumpkins ::Â
Last fall I bought a zillion white pumpkins and decorated our entire porch with them. I’m hoping to snag a bunch tonight when I run out to the store and do the same, but the last two place I went didn’t have any. Fingers crossed.
(Lamps are from Homegoods at Sideboard is from Nadeau – I linked similar lamps below!)Â
:: H&M Kids ::Â
I officially was out of clothes that fit the girls and the temps *finally* cooled down here so I needed to get some outfits together for them. I was so pleasantly surprised by how amazing H&M kids clothes are! I’m in love with the polka dot onesies and the Christmas dress.
:: H&M Tip ::Â
Only one of the Christmas dresses I ordered was in my bag – and their size is now sold out – so I had to call customer service and they told me that online restocks on Tuesday’s and that the stores restock on Thursday’s.
(And their customer service was surprisingly super helpful!)
I thought this was a good tip to share when your size is sold out!
There’s also a store locator online to see what sizes a store may you has in stock.
:: Two more H&M Finds ::Â
I snagged a sweater and a dress for myself from H&M too.
I really wish I had found this white dress before the girls baptism earlier this month! I wanted to wear a white dress so badly! I seem to find 9,000 white dresses even though when I was engaged I couldn’t find a single one to wear to anything (so I didn’t wear a white dress to any party or occasion except the wedding!)
But I digress……
HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!
I’m sorry for lack of Coffee Talk…. I have a lot of notes in my phone in hopes of posting one in the next few days, mainly just discussing RHOD and LeeAnne Locken being a complete LUNATIC and turning ANYTHING back into her sob story. It’s mind boggling. Follow along on instagram though for Bravo commentary in my stories in the meantime!
Teresa and Joe are sitting down Sunday with my-boyfriend-Andy-Cohen and I’ll be tuning in just to watch whatever BS they have planned some out of their mouths. Teresa could not care LESS about him and they both are the biggest idiots on the planet.
You can read more about it (apparently he did a video call from Italy) and see the trailer for RHONJ Season 10 here.
