Quote Of The Week {Happy New Year}

"If we all resolve to shine a little brighter in 2014,

we'll light up the world."

Quote Of The Week {Merry Christmas}

He puzzled and puzzed till his puzzler was sore.

Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before.

Maybe Christmas, he thought...doesn't come from a store.

Maybe Christmas, perhaps... means a little bit more!

Quote Of The Week

Walk through this world with me; go where I go.

Share all my my dreams with me, I need you so.

In life we search and some of us find.

I've looked for you a long, long time.

And now that I've found you, new horizons I see,

Come take my hand and walk through this world with me...

-George Jones

one kiss of her mouth, one touch of her hand,

than eternity without it.

I Spy {Halloween Movie Picks}

I will be the first to admit I am at TOTAL scaredy cat! I am talking almost 32 years old and STILL scared of the dark! That’s right I keep a night light in my room… #noshameinmygame 

I love Halloween but, I do not need scary people covered in fake blood jumping out at me or some ax murderer haunting my dreams.  I made the mistake of seeing the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake, you know the one with Jessica Biel back in 2003? Well after sitting through the entire movie curled up in a tiny ball with my eyes covered 90% of the time I swore my days of attempting to watch horror movies was OVER! So when it comes to scary movies I keep it pretty PG. 

Here are a few of my faves that are fun for the whole fam and a few that will scare ya just enough but, won’t have you sleeping with one eye open!

Quote Of The Week

When witches go riding,

and black cats are seen,

the moon laughs and whispers,

‘tis near Halloween.

So sometimes I get a little carried away so go ahead and enjoy 5 bonus songs on this chilly Friday!  I am absolutely obsessed with Katy Perry’s new album!  The first time I heard “Dark Horse” I was hooked and ready to sample the entire album.  It’s Amaze.  AND, how oh how could I not include a classic throwback from TLC from their just released top 20 hits album?!  Every song seriously takes me back…

I am so not a fan of scrapping ice off of my windshield while praying my frigid fingers don’t break in half from the temps! Fan or not, there is no slowing down old man winter and today we are having our first super cold day in NC.   I have a feeling this year is going to be one for the books! On days like today there is nothing better than a super delish and extra hot soup. 
I think this Pumpkin Chowder might be the ticket!

I went total country on y’all this week with the exception of song #5. My brother and I lost our minds for a second and decided to DRIVE all the way from NC to NYC last weekend instead of flying like usual. It was such a long drive but, thank goodness we are two complete goofballs when we are together and know how to entertain. The Fox by Ylvis came on the radio and totally had us dancing like two crazy people! It was hilarious so I had share. The song is NOT that great but, it does kinda send ya to loony town for a hot minute!

Happy Weekend Loves!

I Spy {Fall Wreaths and Frugal Tiff?!}

I adore a wreath on a door front. I just feel they give you that welcome to our home cozy feeling!

However, wreaths are one thing that I have always thought were priced way high! I have been told many times in my life that I have “no concept of money” and that I spend way too frivolously but, went it comes to wreaths I just think it’s insane how pricey they can be. I have no doubt this is why so many people make their own. I say every year I’m going to hang a wreath on my front door for fall and NEVER do simply because I can never find one that I adore that is at a reasonable price. This year I feel like all of my neighbors have adorned their door fronts with the beauty’s so now it’s kinda like I’m the odd ball out! Well this just can’t be! I guess maybe I ought to pass on a pair of new fall boots and join the club? HA! Who am I kidding? I’d much rather skip a meal or two than give up a “necessity” like new boots.
Like Miss Carrie Bradshaw said…
“When I first moved to New York and I was totally broke, sometimes I bought Vogue instead of dinner. I found it fed me more.”

"The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it -

Basically because you feel good,

very good, when you are near or with them."

Happy Weekend!

So am I one of the only people to still watch Grey’s Anatomy like religiously? Last night I swear I couldn’t even get into the show for obsessing over all the great music in the episode! Kendrick Lamar’s “Swimming Pools” came on and I literally stopped to see if my computer or phone was playing the song-I loved it, but how random to be on Grey’s? The best part of the entire show for me was the last few minutes when all the couples were coming together. I’m a TOTAL sucker as you know for romance and the John Legend song “You and I” that was playing during these last few scenes would make any girl smitten!

Hope you enjoy this week’s playlist and have an amazing weekend full of laugher and love!

Swoonin' and Givin' in to White Perfection

Whether it's an all white room, white flooring, a white picket fence, crisp white linens, or gorgeous, perfectly chic in every way white pumpkins, I swoon!
I'm not sure if this year's white pumpkins are just more fab than years past but, I have seriously been having a major obsession with them.  I feel like they are everywhere I turn. 
I decided to still go the traditional route and picked up my usual orange pumpkins {they just fit the look of my home better}.  BUT, immediately after paying for them I caved just a little and turned around and swooped up the most dainty and precious white pumpkin.  I HAD to have at least one!
Now that all pumpkins are in place and the house looks festive for the fall months one would think I'd be content, right?!   Who am I kidding?! I'm STILL obsessing and can't let the thought of all the beautiful white ones from the pumpkin patch go.  
I do believe this weekend I will just have to bring a few more home!
Now, I have to start deciding how and where to incorporate these statement making darlings!
 

 

Are you a fan?
