Wake me up when September-errr October, ends!

Well it's been a hot minute since my last post, and life just keeps chugging along and here we are well on our way through this 11th month! November you say? How can that possibly be? After my slightly depressing October (I mean not having anyone or anything to dress up just is no fun at all!), onwards to food heaven! I've had my fair share of Halloween Candy to last me until next Halloween (did I really just say that? I, the candy fanatic?!), so come on T-Day! 

October flew by in a whirlwind the return of hockey season (yessss), North Texas football games (through and through and finally got our first W of the season on Halloween which is better late than never right?), a 5k (victorious!), 1 high school reunion, an awkward family photo, a highly anticipated arrival of a friend's baby, and about 3.5 viewings of Hocus Pocus.  I have a few projects lined up that I'm hoping to finalize soon-more on that soon, hopefully!  








I'm totally digging the cooler weather, hello boots! I think today is National Bootie Day, but let's be honest-every day is National Bootie Day for me, just look in my closet. I'm super excited to finally be able to wear longer sleeves and all my new warm and fuzzy items I've been collecting over the year. I think my favorite thing so far this Fall Season is the plaid blanket scarf thing? So so so cute. Still haven't found one that I totally love yet, but I'm still scouring every store that I come across. I'm inspired to dress cute even though I probably will stay in my fleece Grinch pajama pants most of the time I'm home. My goal by the end of the year is to find some dang RUGS to go in our house because last winter my footsies were so chilly on our hardwood floor and it made our house seem too cold. Reason #1 why I need/want/must have a onesie this winter. Not sure if I should invest in a nice one, or just cheapo all the way, since they mostly will be underneath furniture, or if there even is a difference. 

Most importantly this month is the mark of the birthday of one of the most important people in my life-literally wouldn't be here without her today if it weren't for her birth! Happy 22nd birthday (as of November 1), Mom! Looking good :) 



And a sweet throwback for Halloween from freshman year of college. Super heroes unite!

Hair today, gone tomorrow!

Well. I did it. Took the plunge. Jumped off the band wagon. And I feel....about 8-9 inches lighter!  And the not so pretty before photo (just looked at all that fried straw!):  #shorthairdontcare

Wedding Invites: DIY

During my wedding planning, one of the things that I was most "sticker shocked" on was how much wedding invitations cost! I looked everywhere (and I'm talking everywhere: Etsy, Michaels, Target, Pinterest, any online shop, etc.) for ones that I liked that were cute, not too elaborate, and at a reasonable price (meaning not $300-600). I mean, it's a sheet of paper, envelope, stamp, and RSVP basically. It wasn't until I found this DIY that I finally had a possibility for what we were wanting to use for our invites, and I think they turned out great (for a DIY).  2 Invites could be made from 1 sheet of paper. I printed the actual invite on Vellum paper, and then put it over the card stock.  Here's what you need:  FREE Template 1 pack of 100 sheet Card Stock Paper-I got mine from Michaels because it was shimmery but not too blingy 1 pack of white vellum paper (I got mine at Staples) Ribbon in color of your choice Hole Puncher Scissors Half

Honeymoon Part 1

Where to start, where to start? It's surreal to me how we've ALREADY been married over a week, AND that we've already been to the Bahamas and back :( The Bahamas (in Nassau to be exact) is such a beautiful place. It's the same island that has the Atlantis Resort on it, which we could see in the distance down the coast from our resort. We really picked the perfect place to spend our honeymoon. We left cloudy, rainy Dallas and Atlanta to sunshine and white sand, blue water, and 80 degree weather! It's so crazy to me that we've already been back from there after spending the week out of the country.  Obligatory newlywed plane selfie Monday morning came dark and early at 4am to catch our first flight out of DFW. I was proudly wearing my super comfy new "wifey" sweatshirt that my friend/bridesmaid Shohreh got me-thank goodness she stalks me on Pinterest ;) along with our brand spankin new wedding bands. Robert's ring looks so good against his
