Monthly Musings {August 2024}

 Happy Thursday, friends! I'm here to link up with Holly and Patty for Monthly Musings!

Here are the questions for August!

1. Do you meal plan?

This depends on my mood for the week 😂. Sometimes yes, sometimes nope.

2. Back to school traditions.

When I was growing up, we always went out to eat the night before the first day of school. We also got new school clothes and shoes. I loved that so much!

3. Clothes and supplies shopping.

Well, since I don't have kids, I'll do this for my clothes and supplies. Y'all know I love Mimi Seabrook and Nordstrom for all my clothes! 

As far as school supplies, I usually just get new flair pens from Walmart. I also love Tul notebooks and pens from Office Depot.

4. How I transition my wardrobe to fall.

Lots of basics!! Basic tees that can paired with shorts or jeans. Add a cardigan. BAM. My favorite outfit ever since 2016. Ha!

Short dresses that are long sleeved are also great to transition from end of summer to fall.

5. Anymore end of summer trips?

No more trips for us for this summer.

6. Do schools start before or after Labor Day?

The schools here (and when I was growing up) always start at the beginning of August.

7. Labor Day Weekend plans?

Put out the fall decor 😉.

8. White after Labor Day?

Yep. I threw all care out the window a few years ago and just wear white all year.

A sweater with white jeans is one of my favorite things to wear!

9. PSL asap or wait?

ASAP.

I had my first one this past Saturday 🙂.

10. Back to school tips.

I like to write down all of my assignments for the week and make sure to include due dates. I like to be able to cross things off of a list. It definitely helps me to stay organized!

Here's a look at my week this week!

Thanks for reading! Have a great day!

    I am a huge fan of lists and crossing things off; somehow my boys all manage to keep their schoolwork and due dates in their heads... I could never do that!

    My transition outfits are the same -- a lot of t-shirts and cardigans.

Friday Favorites {12.8.23}

  Happy Friday, friends!! Today I'm linking up with Erika and Andrea to bring you some favorites from my week!  If you missed yesterday's post, it was my ONE YEAR BLOGIVERSARY! One year ago, I set out to do something I've wanted to do for a very long time. I have loved this year of blogging! If you come here each week to read my blog, THANK YOU!! I appreciate your support more than you know!  I have loved the truffles from Aldi, so when I saw these chocolates I knew I had to try them. They are AMAZING. I've been eating a bit of some each night after dinner! If you see them, grab them!  I think I feel more like an adult when I have fresh flowers in the kitchen 😂. These red carnations are so cheerful!  A couple months ago, Caleb decided we needed an espresso machine...so on Black Friday he found one on a pretty good deal and went for it. We're considering it our Christmas to each other 😉. Friends, I mean it when I say if I never go back to Starbucks again, I would

Let's Look: March 2024

  I'm back!! Happy Wednesday!! It's the second Wednesday of the month, so that means it's time for LET'S LOOK with Shay and Erika!! In January, we "looked" at How We Clean Our Closets. In February, we "looked" at Little Things We Do Every Single Day. Today, we are "looking" at..... OUR GROCERY CARTS!!  Since I was in Nashville over the weekend, I had to run in Trader Joe's! So, I went ahead and did my grocery shopping for the week while I was there. Plus some other goodies too!  When I went to the TJ's in Huntsville, I said it was my favorite. BUT, I have found a new favorite. There are two locations in Nashville, and I've now been to both. The one on White Bridge Pike is FABULOUS! They had every single thing on my list, and then some. I've been to the other location over by Green Hills Mall, but I didn't look around much, so I can't really attest to how that one is.  I snapped this picture of my grocery cart! This i
