Halloween Decor in our Yard...

I couldn't resist putting some of our Halloween decor in our yard...

Happy Halloween!!!

Trick or Treat?!?!

I finally got our Halloween decor out this weekend! I boiled some cinnamon sticks on the stove and got to work.

Here are a few pics for all you trick or treaters :)

Trick or Treat?!?!

Mental Health Day...

I have had a crazy busy week...hmph, who am I fooling? I have a head a crazy busy FOUR weeks!!

I have been wearing SO many hats at work and unfortunately, it finally caught up with me. I have been stressed, tired, and just not myself. So I decided to take a mental health day this past Friday to get my life in order.

I can't tell you how great I feel now!!!

I spent my day doing this...

I washed all our clothes. You did NOT want to see the mountain of dirty clothes that had grown in my closet :(

I organized our pantry. THIS was a major task, but I am so thankful to have it all nice and neat.

I also cleaned out our refridgerator!! You do NOT want to know how OLD some of the expiration dates were on some of the food in there :( SCARY!!!

Most of these things probably do not sound like something you would do on your mental health day, but being the OCD person that I am, these things were just dragging me down. I can't tell you the weight that has been lifted off of me.

Now my plan for tomorrow is to put up our Halloween decor, make a crockpot of chili for dinner, and watch some FOOTBALL! That reminds me, don't forget to check out my Halloween Card Giveaway HERE!

Every girl should take a mental health day...it does a body GOOD!

Halloween Cards Giveaway...

My friend Cassie introduced me to stamping and creating my own cards YEARS ago. I recieved an adorable package in the mail from Cassie this past week...a box FULL of cards that she created. I spent a good hour going through all the cards and ooooohhhing and awwwwing over how cute they all are, not to mention how detailed and unique each card is.

And because Halloween is one of my favorite holidays, I thought it would be fun to do a giveaway of FIVE of Cassie's Halloween cards...

Each card comes with an envelope and will brighten anyone's day this holiday season!!

If you are interested in being the lucky winner of this set of Halloween cards, just leave me a comment letting me know what you like most about Halloween!!

I'll draw for the winner on Monday, September 27th.

Good luck!!!

Wordless Wednesday...

One of my favorite past times...

Cruisin' on a boat with my baby!!

And my hubby too :)

Spooky Knights...

My sweet friend Faith designed my new Halloween blog template and I absolutely LOVE it :)

I would have to say that Halloween is one of my favorite holidays...a VERY close second to Christmas. So I was thrilled beyond belief when I saw my adorable new look for fall. I had this exact same template last year for Halloween, but I forgot just how happy it makes me.

And speaking of Halloween, I have a sweet little giveaway that I will be hosting in a few days. So check back to see what's up for grabs!!!

Happy Halloween!

One of the Best...

Our anniversary celebration did NOT disappoint.

We started our evening with dinner at Ruth's Chris. I had forgotten how GREAT the steaks are there. The hostess took us to our table and this is how it was set up...

We had ribeyes, augrautin potatoes, and mushrooms...and every single bite was DELICIOUS! Then our waiter brought us a special anniversary dessert...

We both made a wish, blew out our candles, and enjoyed our dessert :)

We had the couple sitting next to us take our pic and then we headed outside for a little walk...

The view of downtown Jacksonville was just as pretty as ever...

After dinner we came home and sat outside for a while and enjoyed the cool weather and the ambiance of our tiki torches.

This was, by far, one of the best anniversaries YET!

Celebrating 5 Years...

Today my hubby and I are celebrating FIVE years of marriage!!!

Our wedding day was, by far, one of the BEST days of my life...

It's hard to believe that five years have already come and gone.

Here's to many MORE years of marriage with the the love of my life!!!

Fall is FINALLY Here...

Check out this Florida temperatures for the next five days...

I LOVE IT!!!

Fall is FINALLY here in Florida :)

Look Who's FREE!!!

I actually meant THREE...but that's how my sweet nephew says it :)

Little Mikey's 3rd birthday was held at a place called Monkey Jungle. It was such an adorable place...

And Mikey was on sensory OVERLOAD!! He had so many fun things to do....

He played in the jungle gym...

Road the cars...

Bowled...

Look at that concentration...

And that FORM!!!

I think his favorite part of bowling was watching the balls come back through the return :)

He punched rubber duckies...

And EVEN road rollercoasters!!!

It's hard to believe that this sweet baby is already three years old...

He is all grown up, blowing out his candles...

And was so happy to have everyone sing him the birthday song!!

Now isn't this the cutest little cake-face you have EVER seen????

Little Mikey is FREE (three)!!!
