What's Next?

Today while Richard goes back to work and the kids are keeping themselves busy with their presents I'm catching up on my reading and writing down my decorating goals for 2015. 

I have so many ideas and will be posting many of them starting in January!

What are your decorating thoughts for 2015?

When One is Sick...

Our oldest hasn't been feeling good for about a week, it started as a typical cold but wasn't getting any better...

  

Today at an impromptu DR's visit (they kindly snuck us inbetween other patients) we got the dreaded verdict of BRONCHITIS. So we had a breathing treatment while at DR's and was sent home with 2 heavy scripts. 

 When one is sick it's time for Snuggles and plenty of rest!

Her 12th Birthday....

Was a huge Success!!

Abigail's day was filled with Fun and Friends!

Even though her actual Birthday is not until Christmas Eve We celebrated early so that we could have her school friends visit before everyone goes on vacation for the Holidays. 

New Hair Regimen

I've picked these up in hopes that my short, sadly very short, hair starts to grow back healthy. The vitamins are not very palatable but the shampoo smells Amazing!!

Have any of you used these brands before?

Donating Hair Mistakes....

I've been growing my hair out for so long , I simply can't remember my last haircut.  So with the Holidays here, I wanted a new look... Time to donate! 

Great Clips opened a new store down the road from us. We stopped in on Friday so that Husband and I could take advantage of their grand opening prices.

Sadly after saying I wanted 12 inches cut off, the end result was a full 17 inches! I have never had my hair this short before!!

So now I'm deciding on which donation group to send my hair too. Which ones have you used, if you do donate your hair? 

Going Gluten Free...Have You?

So Richard has been told by his DR to attempt to go Gluten Free due to health reasons. 

This has been harder than we thought. 

ALDI has their own brand of Gluten Free called "Live G Free" which has been so nice on our grocery budget. 

We are trying the Brownies and Cookies this week. The brownies were very chocolatey but a tad powdery. The Chocolate Chip cookies were so tasty, Richard liked them more than the Brownies, hence why there isn't a picture of them!

Do you eat Gluten Free? If so, What are some of your favorite items in the Grocery store?

Fall Kitchen Vignette

Today I was cleaning the kitchen when inspiration struck and I just had to play around with this corner that I was not pleased with. 

I like how it's turned out so far

I bought the new Better Homes and Gardens 2014 candle in the Golden Maple Waffles. The scent throw is great cold and during burning it's even stronger which allows us to smell it in the Livingroom! 

I had to add my little Hen! 

Hope y'all are having a relaxing weekend!

Fall in the Kitchen

Sadly it seems that we've lost a box of my Fall decorations in our move so I'm forced to decorate simply this year. I started this morning with our new Kitchen and had to stop because our little guy is sick with a high fever and stayed home from school, we are snuggling on the couch while Tylonel starts to work. 

I'm still loving my hand-made Scarecrow that I made a few years ago in Ohio. He doesn't look to worn from all the moves he's made! 

I like how this grouping is going to look together, I just need to find some Sunflowers at my local grocery store. The candle is "Spiced Pumpkin Pie" from Better Homes and Gardens this year. 

I'm loving my White table scape this year. The white Pumpkins are from Target and we like to fill them with candy for Halloween. 

I also have the large white Pumpkin from Target on our Breakfast bar area. 

I will share our living room with you soon as I can, depending on who else gets sick now, ain't it always like this when School starts?
