Our Favorite Spot

California has been good to us these last couple of months. Our city is beautiful and we have found some local spots that we love, but our favorite spot Is our back porch.

The bulb lights are hung, the bird feeders are up, and fresh flowers are placed in my favorite pots.

Fall Decor

Fall banner

Supplies:

Chalk board paint

Twine

Paint brush

Linen fabric

2 Dowels (I purchased mine from hobby lobby)

Stencils

In order to create this look I rolled the fabric around the top of the dowel and then tied it in place with the twine. I found that the easiest way to do this was to cut a small hole in the fabric in order to put the twine through. I then used the stencils to create my phrase. Some other great phrases for the season would be trick treat,happy halloween or happy fall! Another version can be found here.

A fall day

Yesterday was a great start to fall.

I headed off to the big city of Dothan *with two friends and one cute baby

Went to panera *where i ordered potato soup and a cranberry turkey sandwich

We then headed to hobby lobby *where I purchased a fall candle as well as supplies to make the wreath pictured above

The next stop was the mall *where I purchased some scents to make my house smell like pumpkin.. Because who doesn't love the smell of pumpkin!

target was our last stop (because it is the only place to get a Starbucks in town) *where i ordered my first pumpkin spice latte of the season

Yep.. It was a good day!

Have I mentioned that I love fall? My house is full of pumpkins and warm colors. The smell of sweet cinnamon pumpkin is in the air (thanks to my bath and body works plug in) and when I walk outside in the morning to take the dog out it is cool and crisp.

I think one could say I am content!

Lovely things...

That made my week

We got our very first iPad *this has opened up a whole new world to me!

Coffee dates, pizza in the afternoon with friends, and a day out by the pool with sangria *I think I am getting used to this life of the unemployed!

Shakespeare's haircut *The husband and I got ahold of a pair of scissors and cut Shakespeare's bangs. This at first was a disaster due to our grooming skills (which are lacking). However, we now have a much more adventurous pup since he can finally see again. The hubby and I are quite pleased to have a happier pup!

This bar * When my husband was deployed we always talked about items that we wanted in our future home. A bar always made it on the list. Now that he is back, we have been able to create a home for ourselves. Every time I now look at our very own bar, I am reminded of how far we have come!
