Thank Goodness It's Fri-YAY!

This week has felt unusually long, hasn't it? Maybe it has just felt that way for me because the first half of the week I was parenting solo while the hubby was on his trip to Texas.

ALTHOUGH, I have to admit that while he was gone, I totally took the opportunity to fix some of my FAVORITE foods that he doesn't really like & that seemed to console me while he was away. I made a big pot of chili (with ground beef! I was flying off the vegetarian rails!) and one night I made Teriyaki stir fry that truly stunk up the house but it was oh so yummy in my tummy.

I'm excited for this weekend because I get to participate in one of my FAVORITE activities - the Heart Walk to raise money and awareness for the American Heart Association. I'm debating on whether or not to bring Amelia and push her in the stroller because there is supposed to be SO many people there & I'm not sure how I she will deal with the throngs of walkers. Oh and also it is calling for an 80% chance of AM thunderstorms, so it's not looking likely (not to get all weather forecasty on ya again!).

It is getting to be that time of year now that I am really getting excited for all things fall. Here are a few of my FAVORITE fall decorations I spotted at Hobby Lobby that I'm going to need to adopt into my life in the very near future.

Also, my girl PW (aka the Pioneer Woman) just released more of her adorable line of kitchenware and it is my new FAVORITE! She and I are a kindred spirit, we are. She is my spirit animal.

And those are a few of my favorite things this happy Friday!

PS - Big plans this weekend to pull out all of my fall decor and spruce up the house. Yay, I can't wait! Don't be jealous that I lead such an exciting life. :)
