LIFE LATELY AND MY WEEKEND SCORE

Hey friends!  I took a little un-intended break for a while, so I'm so glad you're here today.  We took a few days off for Fall Break last weekend, and this past week I just needed a bit of space away from the online world.  But, I'm back in gear and ready to share some good things with you this week (come back tomorrow for this month's My Five Favorites !). The kids were out of school for a few days a week and a half ago, so we took a quick road trip to the Ozarks and spent some time at Silver Dollar City and around Branson.  It's SUCH a good trip to do in the Fall, everything is beautiful and the weather is so nice. *Affiliate links used in this post.   Similar plaid shirt  ||   Boyfriend Jeans  ||   Sneakers  ||   Headband  ||   Similar Mexican Hoodie ...

D&T INSTAPEEK #2

Hey you all!  As much as I love posting and following friends on  Instagram , I realize that many of you don't use it.  Or, even if you're on IG, you might miss posts when IG is deciding what will show up in your feed (boo-I know I miss lots of posts this way too!).  So, I thought I'd give you a peek of what goes up over on my Instagram feed here on the blog occasionally.  Today, here's the highlight reel of our past few months... One evening while in the area we stopped by the new  Wheeler District in OKC.  It houses a ferris wheel and picnic and game areas, providing a fun spot for friends and family to hang out.  We just checked everything out and are looking forward to returning soon to spend a little more time there. After last year's holiday season, rather than trashing a poinsettia that was past it's prime I stuck it in the window in my bathroom, then moved it to a shady spot on the patio when the weather warmed up. Other than o......

SWEET SATURDAY #6

8 pumpkin decorating ideas , and there's not a carved one in the bunch! this one from  A Subtle Revelry Check out how my darling friend Lindsay turned her shed into a charming screened porch .  I don't think you could pry me out of there on these gorgeous Fall days! Tis the season... my family always gobbles up this pumpkin bread, it's great to have on hand for breakfast and after school snacks. A home tour full of eye candy that's not short on color... I still occasionally get asked about what I used to make the little chalk holder for our chalk wall that we had once upon a time.   It's this one , I sprayed it gold along with some small screws and just screwed it into the wall.  If you want to use it on a regular chalk board, just use a few drops of hot glue and it should hold like a charm! You all know I love to set a table, here's 15 ideas for a pretty Fall table (with a good variety of ideas). 9 fairly quick and ea......

10 STYLISH LAMPS FROM WALMART (UNDER $60 EACH!)

About a year and a half ago I posted 10 great lamps from a surprising source -Walmart-and I was surprised with what a great response the post received!  So, I thought it might be time to revisit what Walmart has to offer.  Once again, I found 10 stylish options, all under $60 each! In selecting lamps to share with you, I stuck with choosing pretty neutral colors, a good white lamp looks pretty anywhere!  *Be sure to check measurements if there's one you're interested in.  Most of these are table lamp size, but a few are smaller.  Several of these are sold in pairs, but when you divide the cost each lamp is still within the price range. ...
