My very fall porch and more

Ok so this is basically just a photo dump but I FINALLY decorated my front porch and living room is now complete. It usually takes me a few days to get it exactly like I want it. The dining room is still a work in progress but I have put those pictures on here too. I love fall and every year I add to my collection of decor. The mums on my front porch will only be there for a few weeks because I'm going to plant them under the front windows of the house.
Enjoy!!!!

This is my whiskey barrel that sits on the side of my driveway to cover an old well!! I got this giant Mum for $20.00 a steal in my opinion since I only buy one!

This is the front corner of my porch. I love these "pink" pumpkins and I got them for $5.00 each again Loved the price!

This is my little bistro set that I got from amazon 2 years ago for $100.00 I love it and we use it all the time!!! The two ghost/ pumpkins were made by yours truly. I used to have a little side craft business that I would paint and wood burn wood gourds and sell them but now well Grayson is what it's all about!

This table was bought at an auction for $5.00!! I move it around all the time but it seemed fitting on the front porch for this season!

I debated putting this picture up. I'm not a fan of the outside of the house because our trim doesn't match and my flower beds are not perfect. But it's our house and it keeps us safe and warm so I'm going to be proud of it I guess.

The living room!! We have awesome built-ins that I decorate for every holiday and when it's not a holiday is filled with pictures here it is for fall/Halloween!!

I made the candy corns and the little pumpkins!!

Ignore Gilmore Girls on in the back ground here are my cute little pumpkins and sign. all that decor cost me $10.00 total!!

There is my milk jug decorated with leaves and a pumpkin!!

This is the buffet in the dining room and it is kind of a mess but there is still fall sprinkled in. My whole house is always a work in progress

This pitcher and bowl were my Great Grandmothers! I love it so much and was honored when my grandmother gave it to me.

Ok so this is not fall really but it one of my favorite things ever. This is our guest book from our wedding! I love that it is on display and I smile every time I pass it.

So not much to look at but it's mine!

Four Things right now

Four things about all of us right now... Grayson One- This boy has finally found his groove in 1st grade. Kinder to 1st was a big adjustment but he's doing well now. And he is a spelling champ! He does sooooo good on his spelling tests! Two- Hockey is life for this kid. He skates twice a week (once doing a hockey specific clinic and once doing family skate see below) His skills are really growing Three- He loves reading and so we are riding that wave all the way. Four- He has to wear his glasses full time now. What started out as hey wear these when you watch TV that is farther away or when you sit farther from the board has turned into needing them full time. Our school has a local organization that comes in and does eye assessments for free for the elementary schools and they sent home a letter saying get him to the eye doctor he needs glasses (well that was the jist of it) and we since we already had glasses from his eye doctor he just started with tho...

A nice little sweet spot

The sweet spot…. We seem to have hit one. I feel like we have not been in a sweet spot since the twins were about 6 months old. You know before they were mobile and can get into a ton of mischief. When kids are 0-6 months they still like to be held they eat mostly bottles and they mostly just stay in one spot. No issues, you can go places and even though you have to pack up your whole house to be prepared you can relax. And if you are in my family someone is always willing to hold or feed or change a baby. 7-months to 2.5 years old is what I refer to as the lost years. You have so many things you have to do for them they are not potty trained and they are mobile and get into EVERYTHING. Going outside is more work than its worth and with twins they scatter in opposite directions. Three on one is so hard handle in big open spaces. I would often find myself skipping outside time because the work was just too much for me. When the twins turned 3 and Grayson was 6 it felt like we had a ...

Friday Favorites

Love that it's Friday Love that its Friday and we have a beautiful weekend ahead of us! Linking up with Andrea today! One These PJ's. When we first got married (and even before I was married really) I used to wear cute PJ's to bed and then I started to wear not so cute PJ's to bed so I ordered some new ones and OMG girls get these now. So so soft so so comfy and under $20.00! Plus they have pockets! Two While your shopping at Kohls throw some of these picture frames in your cart! Just for fun! I love that they are easy to change out and have a distressed look! Plus they can sit on a shelf or be hung on the wall. Love! Three We have been swimming like crazy and that equals all the things that go with swimming like a million towels and swim suits. My bathroom was a mess. I usually never wash my swim suits I just rinse them out and hang dry they last a lot longer doing it that way and so I had things hanging every where! So I ord...
