Finally Fall!

It's not a secret blogging as taken a backseat during my pregnancy as I've seriously been too tired to even think. But I do have a few things coming up (like nursery design!) and wanted to of course acknowledge FALL!

Happy Fall Everyone!!!

Has this been the longest September like ever? Yes I believe it has been. How is it not October yet?!?! Even though I've been pretending that it's been Fall since like September 1st I can officially enjoy the décor and thought I would share some with you. 

Last year I made this wreath and this year just added some to it. Also, MK and I picked up these lanterns this year and it's so fun to dress them up according to season. 

The beauty of a pendant light is being able to throw Fall all over it! Ha!

Ok so since being pregnant getting dressed is basically my least favorite thing. Especially being almost 30 weeks. But I will say putting on a cute outfit and red lips is an immediate mood booster. This Target Kimono from their new collection "A New Day" is a perfect Fall transition piece (link at the bottom).  I'll be honest I'm ready for this boy to be here!

I hope that all of you have the best Fall ever! I know I plan to! Now go get yourself a delicious PSL and a new pair of over the knee boots!

Spilling The Beans

Ahhh taking a little blogging break was much needed for sure!

Well we are finally spilling the beans! Baby Kilgore is due early December! The month of May sure did turn out a lot differently than I thought it would. We were supposed to go to Venice, Italy (and Milan) and after finding out the news we decided not to go. I mean why go to Italy and not be able to drink wine? Okay, we had better reasons than that but still. The blogging break was much needed as I was so exhausted I could hardly lift my head off the pillow, let alone do other things. But there is no better birthday gift than now being so close to my second trimester! Whew!

When we were coming up with ideas on an announcement photo I thought it would be hilarious to use my Dad's canoe since the gondola ride down the canals of Venice will have to wait. So my sweet Dad helped us create this photo and eased my nervousness of flipping over in the water.

The icing on the cake is that throughout our many travels we've picked up baby items for when the time came. Once in Rome, we picked up these jackets. Little did we know at the time they would be a big part of our baby announcement.

So here is to my 29th year. I have a feeling it's going to be pretty good. Cheers (with my Ginger Ale, of course) I'm excited to finally be able to share the news with you!

Jumping Into Spring

When MK and I bought our house, there were a lot of things to think about and look at. Since it was October when we decided to make the move one thing we wern't thinking about was the massive amount of landscaping that came with this house. We will be here two years in th Fall and we still haven't had a chance to tackle all of it. 

We love being outside and when the weather breaks we can't wait to get outside. You have have seen this K in some of my posts. This was our last year project and I'm finally around to showing you how we did it. We wanted something a little different besides flower after flower so we came up with the idea to do a "K" in our mulch. You don't need a lot of landscaping to personalize your yard. Maybe just a smidge of patience. Which is exactly why MK did most of it. 

On to this cozy dress and my latest project. As you know I love to cook and there is nothing like cooking with fresh ingredients. I call this my "Cookin' Box". All the herbs I need to get busy in the kitchen. It's an easy project that is so worth doing. Simply choose your favorite herbs to cook with. I picked Basil (my favorite!), Thyme, Rosemary, and Dill. I keep my herb box in the sunroom so it gets plenty of light.  

On to the dress. This JustFab number is so perfect for being outside in the garden or sipping some drinks with friends on the patio. Throw some heels on to dress it up or forget the shoes all together and be barefoot and fancy free in this beautiful spring weather!

Enjoy your Monday pretties! It's going to be beautiful!
