Fall dreaming

I’m loving all the wedges and booties out this season and the other day I tried a coat on at H&M that I can’t stop thinking about … I can’t get it all, but here is my wish list right now:

I love the shape of this coat from H&M. And I think it would look good with almost any color of hat/scarf/ and gloves.

I think these would be cute with skinny jeans or bootleg jeans.

Oh I love this foldover boot. But it is unlikely I will get these as I see myself wearing them the least of these things.

Love the look of this bootie. May be too high of a wedge for me though.

I think this would be a great little bootie to pair with tights for work!

*All shoes are from Payless, except foldover boots, which are Old Navy.

Happy Anniversary

7 years ago today I had the perfect wedding day in Palm Springs, California. I think we proved we make a great team even back then with that awesome wedding weekend we planned. And what an awesome husband and dad you are today, babe! I love you!

Old friends: Part 1

Last week my high school friend and her three children visited us a few nights while she helped her mom move back into town.

It was great seeing her. And our kids had so much fun together too. Strangely my daughter and one of hers share a birthday too!

This is how I will remember her baby. He was tired a lot from the trip.

Cupcakes + frosting + sprinkles = 3 happy girls

Just one of the girls.

Works of art.

I love that Ella is big enough to play some big kid games, like Uno Attack.

In the middle of it all, I did a four-mile Fort4Fitness walk with my sister and girlfriend. So glad I did. It was a lot of fun.

Fall fest at Saloman Farm was next. We managed to get in a hay ride, a barrel ride and saw some animals before we got rained out. What a busy and fun week!

Patti LaBelle and antibiotics

Well, just as I knew it would, going to the doctor ate up my whole night last night. But I came away with a diagnosis of a sinus infection and prescriptions for antibiotics and antihistamines. Yay!

So I decided that picking up my prescriptions at the new Kroger Superstore would cheer me up. Yesterday was the grand opening of this mega 125,000 square-feet super store. It will replace the smaller Scott’s grocery store I  love. But I have come to be very excited about the superstore. And let me tell you, it’s pretty super.

First, there is a fresh sushi station in the beautiful produce, deli, meats area that is brimming with tons of awesome, fresh looking food.

And then there is a very long aisle of bins containing all kinds of nuts, oats, grains … that you get yourself in containers provided. Kinda reminds me of a Whole Foods.

I was only sad that I missed the day’s celebrity’s guest, Patty LaBelle. That’s right, she was there signing her cookbooks and launching her new line of sauces, marinades and other things.

I did snag some good puzzles and crafts for the girls. Good sale on toys. I can hardly wait to do my grocery shopping next week.
