Everything Fall

I am so excited that fall has arrived and brought all of its wonderful little pleasures that come with it! From yummy spice candles to pumpkin quick bread and golden leaves around us (just in the decor down here in the south!)....it puts a smile on my face. Being the shopper that I am, I have found some fall goodies that I think deserve some recognition! These are a few of my favorite finds.... (so far....I mean we still have 2 months of this, and I can fit ALOT of shopping in!)

1. Williams-Sonoma Pumpkin Spice handsoap & lotion.

This stuff is fabulous, and I have tried many-a- pumpkin scents!

Best thing is that it's "pure and green"

2. Crate & Barrel Pumpkin Tureen.

I love, love, love to make soups when it starts to get chili outside and this is the perfect pumpkin to serve it in! We actually have a C&B here in Houston, so I immediately ran down and purchased this!! Since there is no slot for a ladle, this is also great for decor, cookie jar, etc.

3. Williams-Sonoma Pumpkin Quick Bread

I do love to bake, but with a 3 year old, it is sometimes hard to find the time, so I love to use this mix and bake it in small individual loaf pans and take to friends & neighbors!

4. Ann Taylor Loft grey cardigan

This is my absolute favorite store and I have made friends with grey this season! I love anything grey, especially clothes. This is the perfect cardigan for a chili day (no snow here, so we can get away with this)

5. Bath & Body Works Oils

Autumn Leaves is a new scent that is so yum! I burn the oils and also buy the scented wallflowers to match! Your home will smell like a crisp fall day!

Hope you enjoyed my Fall Finds, feel free to share your faves too!!

Blast From the Past

Well, the Reunion wasnt quite what we expected, but we had fun with the folks who came!!

This is Ryan (hubs) Clay and the "reunion crasher!"

This guy seriously just came into our party from off the streets-nice, hu?

Busy, busy busy...will post more later!

10 Year Reunion!!

So, Saturday night is my husband's 10 year HS Reunion (wow I feel old saying that!!) We went back and forth whether we wanted to go or not since we really dont keep in touch with many people from HS (he graduated 98 and I in 99). SO, the verdict is in-we're going! I am excited now that we're going. It's at the Hyatt downtown, so I am looking forward to getting all dolled up. I already have my outfit picked and I have to take Ryan's to the cleaners. I will post pics after the weekend-this should be eventful.

Party Planning

My son's 3rd bday is next month (10/25) and I am trying to get some ideas together to figure out all the details for his party. I think we are going to have a more simple party this year- at a park. Clayton would be outside 24/7 if we would let him, so I think he will like having his party at the park!! He is really into Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and tractors of course (John Deere to be exact) and I asked him, "Do you want a Mickey or a tractor party?"...although I dont completely think he understands that I am referring to the "theme" of the party, his quick response was "TRACTORS"!!! So, this weekend I will be on a mission for John Deere party accessories!! I havent yet decided how I will do the invitations. Here are the main decisions I need to make:

-location:

-food served:

-invitation:

-theme: John Deere

-cake or cupcakes:

-date & time:

Yikes! i better get to plannin' if I wanna stay on top of things!
