FIVE FRIDAY FAVORITES

Hello friends, happy weekend!  Remembering my Dad today on what would have been his 83rd birthday.  I still miss him every day, it's still hard to believe that he's not with us anymore. Grateful for the hope we have in Christ that we will see him again one day! So happy that Emily is home for the weekend, it's been a while since we've seen her- too long!  Looking forward to our time together. Here are my favorites from this week!  1) Striped Rechargeable Lamps-   how fun are these??? I think they look like they could have come straight from Anthropologie, but the price for a set of 2 is so affordable!  They have 3 light color options and are dimmable.   I bought all four colors to share with you and am having a really hard time deciding which one to keep, but I think it's going to be the green ones and the pink and orange ones.  I'm having visions of lining them down my Thanksgiving table, but this one has added a pretty little night time glo......

IT'S SWEATER WEATHER! MY FALL HAUL OF COLORFUL AND NEUTRAL FAVORITES

It's finally sweater weather around here!  I've got a big sweater haul to share with you full of colorful solids, patterns, and neutral favorites so there is something for everyone!  These are from a mix of retailers, all of them except a couple are around $30-40 or less. There's lots to scroll today so let's get to it!  I'll share the sizes I bought, for reference I'm usually a M-L depending on style, and many of these come in different colors if you like the style but want to see other options. You know as soon as I saw this sweater it was a big YES for me!  And even better, it's 100% cotton.  The Christmas green makes me excited to wear it as the holidays approach (I'll definitely be layering a plaid shirt underneath sometimes) but I'll enjoy this one year round, too. Also a winner if green is your school color! I'd recommend sizing up for a relaxed fit, I'm in an XL.  I couldn't add this one to cart fast enough!  LOVE the pattern and......

2026 FALL HOME TOUR || FRONT PORCH

Since we've been out of town and helping with some family needs for most of the past month, I haven't had a chance to get my porch totally finished until this past weekend.  C an you believe there's not a sliver of pink or bright colors?  This year I was wanting a classic, traditional look- I didn't even put a bow on a pumpkin!  However, since this has been the year of the giant porch bows ( Christmas Porch, Valentine's Day Porch , 4th of July Porch ), I figured I'd continue with my Fall porch!  This one that I made for my Entry last Christmas was just hanging out in the attic so I pulled it out and hung it up. There's a tutorial for how I made the bows here and more info on how I hung this one here .  This one was indoors originally and is covered with wrapping paper.  It's positioned so that it shouldn't really get wet unless there's a crazy blowing rain, time will tell how it holds up. I needed to remove the wrapping paper anyway so it will ......

WALMART HAUL TRY ON- BUDGET FRIENDLY FINDS YOU'LL LOVE!

Hi friends!  I'm currently writing this post as we go on one more quick road trip.  Way earlier this year, Ray bought tickets to go see Steve Martin and Martin Short's comedy show, and the closest place we could see it was in St. Louis.  The bluegrass band that Steve often plays with, Steep Canyon Rangers, will be there as well so we're looking forward to that.  We did get to come a little early and stop off in Northwest Arkansas to stay with Caleb and Kenzi for a few days, so that was a bonus!  Friends on Instagram made some recommendations, so we're headed to Mama's On The Hill for Italian food tonight.  Yum!  Earlier this week I shared this post with you full of my sale picks for Walmart Deal Days, currently running through the weekend. I shared a few fashion pieces in that post, but I've recently had a huge pile of things to try on and share with you, so I've loaded those all into one big Walmart haul post today!  There are some pieces that I......
