Holidays are on the Way!


Thanksgiving will be here one week from tomorrow!
 
Where the freak did this year go?!? Seriously, it feels like Zane just started school for the year! I am normally all about fall swooping in and throwing leaves all over the damn place, but this year, I'm ready for Thanksgiving and Christmas baby! 

That means all of my Christmas decorations are going up! I may or may not already have some up! I know that you are anticipating it too! Christmas shopping will be in full swing. Radio station everywhere will be rocking out to Duck the Halls! (Yep. That’s the Robertson’s from Duck Dynasty if you don’t already know!)

We’ve got almost all of our ‘santa gifts’ bought for Christmas morning. We just need to get some family gifts and we will be set! Then I can get my bake on! This year I plan to bake like there is no tomorrow! I didn’t get to do much last year as I wanted to. So this year I am going to blow it out of the water! Ha! Here’s what I have in mind:

Pecan Bars
 
This won't be the only things I am making, but it's a start! I love to do all my baking with my Moma. We have so much fun doing it. We make a big mess and play all day long!
 
Speaking of Crhistmas, I've already got my list made. The hubs has been informed and I hope he gets the hint! I meant I sent him all the links! If he can't get that, well, he might be in trouble! ha! I posted my list last year and it worked out well for me! You should try it! What are your plans for the holidays? Do you have your list made yet?

Word of the Year


Oxford English Dictionary has announced the word of the year!
 
 
Drum roll please...................
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I am notorious for a selfie! I don't always share them, but I definitely have them! Do you take selfie? Yeah right, don't lie! You get bored in the car, and SNAP! You're getting ready to go and you wanna make sure you look alright, SNAP! You wanna suck your lips together and make a duck face, SNAP! Duces up, SNAP! It's all good! We've all done it!
 
 
  
  
  
 
  
  
 
 
These are just a FEW of what I take! These selfies were posted on instagram! Can you only imagine what the ones look like that I weeded out?

Picking Up Where I Left Off



I'm here to pick up where I left off on this blog hiatus that I have been on. I've been reading so don't think I'm out of the loop. Y'all are the ones out of the loop with me! That's my fault. I take full responsibility. But who cares! I’m here today!
 

I left you with Halloween coming up and we did LOTS this year! We went with my best friend and her little tooth fairy to our local State Park and did the trunk or treat to all the campsites! That was interesting and fun! We also went to the church and my high school’s trunk or treat that Wednesday before Halloween. On Thursday we went to the City Halloween trick or treat. Needless to say we are NOT candy poor at all! It was fun but it wore me out! Until next year.

 

I also told you that I was working on my mantel with the Fall décor. Well……I’ve got some up, but my lazy butt never finished. What you see it what you get. Maybe next year I’ll do better.
 


Zane and I also spent the day with my parents one Sunday. We rode up to the mountains to a craft fair. It wasn’t much of one. We expected more. Oh well. We went into Hendersonville, NC and got ice cream. We also shopped around the town a little too!

 


Check out Zane’s school pictures! This one really shows his personality. AND that hair…Ugh. I can’t get it to do anything. It just curls up and goes every whichaway. (yes I said that.)


Last weekend was my nephew's birthday! My MIL and I drove down to GA to celebrate at Chuck E. Cheese. Lawd I forgot how awful that place was! Kids were ever freaking where! UGH! Despite that I hated it, the kids loved it. Brayden couldn't take his eyes off of the show!


 



In other news, I wore a scarf as a vest. I loved it that way! I will be doing that more! Zane has been getting more into shooting guns. He loves it. I love it. We love it!

 



 
Come back soon to catch up on more! I'm gonna try TRY that is to blog once a week! Don't hold me to it!
 
HAPPY FRIDAY!!!!!
