Pickin Punkins

You may have already seen these on Suburban Strut, but the Brown's hit the pumpkin patch a few weeks ago!! I LOVE this tradition and these pictures are what I dreamed of before I had kids...the muddy boots and the kids that think they are lost in the corn maze and pissed at Daddy for getting them that way, not so much, but the rest, pretty much dreamy :)...enjoy!

My fab boots, shirt and gorg sweater are all from Savoir Faire! I am officially one of their bloggers now at Suburban Strut! I used our Pumpkin Patch outing as my first post to show off their fabulous clothes.   Yall go check them out if you haven't already!

Little Bree insists on being just like her big sister and brother and doing everything they do....even watching Beetlejuice and being as brave as she possible can be :)...

31 Days of Our Home - Day 16 - Our Living Room

So, committing myself to 31 days of specific blogging was not my brightest idea, BUT, I am back and with our most comfortable place in our home, the living room. This room is just that, lived in. This room is made to be cluttered, slept in, play in, rough house in, play with dogs in, and just be us in.  I am firm believer in that your home should not be too perfect when you have kids and it looks better "not perfect". I am not ashamed that the pillows are crazy all the time, there are usually dog toys everywhere and a million nerf bullets and ponytail holders on the floor. It is us and one day I will miss all the mess. So here is our living room....

Looks like it is time to clean the fan :)...comment with questions :)

Praying for the Turner's

Today is a blogging and social media day of silence in honor of the passing of Matt Turner.  We will be spending our day praying for Julee, her daughter Preslee, and the Turner and Bell families. For this light momentary affliction is preparing us for an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal. 2 Corinthians 4:18

31 Days of Our Home - Day 9 Our Kitchen

So, obviously I am not good at this blogging everyday thing :).  So let's just forget I missed a few days and carry on, shall we?

Tonight, I show you probably the most lived in room in our home, the kitchen.  It is about as clean as it gets tonight, so I took pics and want to share...

Welcome to the kitchen!! 

Here is where Bree sits (and gets filthy) when I cook and gets into the goodies that are in that platter stand thing :)..

 Counter...

 Best sign...and it is even dirty :)

 Catch all spot/command center :)

 Breafkfast nook...

 Decor on the table...missing a set of blinds because I certain little boy ripped them down :)

 Butler's pantry...I keep all the paper plates, cups, etc here...and some booze back in the back :).  That frame in the back is to keep fun pics of friends from parties etc.

 Favorite sign in the house along the bottom..."Welcome to the Zoo"

 My Scentsy stash

Hope you ignored the dust, finger prints and some dirty counters...:)
