Lately: September

How in the heck are we already half way through September?

This month has already been jam packed with lots more fun to come!

Listening:

I texted a friend of mine the link to the new Andrew McMahon single this weekend [a must listen btw] and he sent back two Nico Stai songs for me to listen to, which lead me to listen to the entire album.

I have now passed it along to multiple friends to listen to and have had on repeat at work. 

Caution: will become obsessed.

Eating:
Nabisco Good Thins, White Cheddar.
Mom and I taste tested these when I was home last weekend and I have already powered through two boxes.  SO GOOD SO GOOD [to the tune of Sweet Caroline.]

Reading:

Uninvited Lysa TerKeurst

Sara snapchatted me a picture of the cover a couple weeks ago letting me know Psalm 31 was starting their bible study with the book the following week. 

This is hands down one of the greatest books I've ever read, it will sit on my bed side table for years to come. 

Watching:
AHS Season 6 premiered last night and I am both pumped and slightly terrified to watch tonight.
We are so close to Fall prime programming coming back I can already hear the "Yeah. Yeah. Yeah." from the TGIT opener!

Wearing:
My Kind of Lovely fall new arrivals hit the website today and I am obsessed with this romper.
It has pockets, ruffles, and birds. What else do you need in life?

Celebrating:

Joe's 22nd birthday next weekend!
When did he get so old? Wait, when did I get so old?

On the go:

I was lucky enough to get to go to the Maroon 5 concert last night.
This was my third go-round with Mr. Lavine and they did not disappoint.

Next up NEEDTOBREATHE September 25th!

Lately 12/3

Gifting: Gifts get trickier the older you get. Everyone has bills and expenses but you still want to get in the Santa spirit. Bottles of wine or champagne with a cute stopper are always a great go-to gift! Target has all their $3 ornaments out and you can't go wrong with an initial ornament. I've learned as you get older, just being with friends is the greatest gift of all! 

Reading: She Reads Truth's Advent: Born is the King plan.
"Being born isn’t what made Him a King. The Prince of Peace made Himself low, taking on flesh to be Immanuel, "God with us."

Loving: My advent calendar from mom! It is the perfect end to my day and the perfect countdown to heading home for Christmas!

Watching: I am finally catching up on AHS: Hotel. I was about five episodes behind when it was announced this week's episode would reveal The Ten Commandments Killer so I had to get my butt in gear and catch up! FOMO took over hard core. 

Drinking: The snowflake might have gone off in my car on the drive to work yesterday but I am all about a good iced coffee these days. Some mornings you need something to quench your thirst and get you going at the same time. And I wouldn't recommend chugging a hot coffee before a 9am meeting. 

Eating: Publix's Organic Pizzas were 2 for $10 this past week and let me tell you the veggie is so good. And for all us single ladies out there, one pizza makes dinner for two nights! #winning

Listening: Cue the Christmas playlists, it's officially December! There are a ton of Christmas albums out there by lots of artists I love BUT The Maine's And a Happy New Year is my hands down favorite. Ho Ho Hopefully is a go-to of mine year round, no shame.

Five on [slight chance of rain] Friday

1. American Horror Story #AHSFX is back!!

The new season, Freakshow, premiered Wednesday night and I must say I'm intrigued.

I had heard mixed reviews from friends but I definitely think it has potential to pick up steam the next couple episodes. 

Also Evan Peters is hot, lobster hands or not

2. The Best of Me comes out next weekend!

I have become a Nicholas Sparks fan girl all thanks to Sara and am marathon reading this one so I'm ready for premiere weekend!

Next up is The Longest Ride [Sara's favorite], I can't wait! 

3. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JCREW FACTORY!

In honor of their birthday, 50% off Men and Women's and 40% off Boys' and Girls' online and in stores!

Now if only they were buying. 

4. This week I finally Fall-ified my porch!

I kept my Halloween contained to inside [since we don't have any trick-or-treaters] but my front door needed some Fall love. 

Home Depot has huge mums for $18 and mini pumpkins for $3 each! 

[big pumpkin from Publix for $6]

5. Believe it or not 2015 is just around the corner! 

And I already have fun things to get in my planner for next year.

I was on and off the fence about planners but after meeting Brittany Fuson a couple weeks ago I decided to go with her adorable planner for this coming year!

I'll give sneak peeks of her precious full month prints or you can order one for yourself here!

Stay dry this weekend!
