{Life Lately}

Oh my goodness.  Where do I begin?!  So a month has passed since I blogged last & we are nearing the end of August.  School as started back & the Texas summer is in full swing.  I am so ready for cooler weather & all that it brings.  Fall is my absolute favorite time of year! 

Speaking of fall, call me crazy, but YES!! I started decorating.  I'm not quite finished but I want to enjoy it as long as possible.
Nola and I are both totally over the heat.  Y'all - it's miserable.  We haven't had rain in over a month & temps are averaging near 100 daily.  You literally sweat walking to the car.  We still try to walk every night & clearly Nola's favorite part is swimming in the creek on the way home.
I got to pick up this little cutie from daycare one day, as well as keep him a few evenings.  Seriously y'all, he is so darn cute & has the absolute best personality.
Mom & I went shopping in Houston last weekend {tax free weekend of all things}.  On a whim, I sold my living room furniture so now I am in the market for a new set.  I am thinking this one from Ikea?! Y'all, I absolutely love Ikea.  That is all. =)
I also went granite shopping with Amanda & the kiddos for their new house...
One evening I pretended it wasn't August & 105 degrees outside and had chili for supper & wine by the fire pit {unlit of course...because hello!  I would have died of a heatstroke}.
And thankfully today, we all survived the solar eclipse.  Gotta admit - it was kinda cool to see!
And I've mentioned this before but about 2 months ago, I joined a "newbie" group on Instagram .  I have had an account for my blog/decorating for over a year, but it never really grew.  It just kinda sat stationary with my 500 followers.  Well now, I'm up to over 3000...I'm hosting weekly hashtags, decor trains & giveaways.  It's been so much fun & I've met so many incredible ladies, but MAN!!  It is t-i-m-e c-o-n-s-u-m-i-n-g.  I lay in bed most nights until midnight liking & responding to comments...but it's definitely a good problem to have!  Can't wait to see where this little adventure takes me.
So until I learn to manage my time a little better - this is Nola & I most nights...
Happy Monday & Have a great week friends!!
