Umm….it’s really, really hot outside.
Hopefully you’re hanging out in some AC and doing some blog reading this morning – that’s what Alice and I are doing. 🙂

Hi guys!
Happy Saturday. 🙂
I treated myself with a little staycation and took some time off work (I work full time as a title examiner for a law firm – not sure if I ever told you that before) over the past few days and it’s been so nice. No appointments. No traveling. No long list of dreadful to-do’s. Just a few days to spend as I please.
It’s been pretty great, you should try it some time. 🙂

Is it just me or does it feel like we’ve been in the month of January forever?
It’s not that I have anything against January – I like it just fine – but I do have the feeling of being on a hamster wheel for the past few weeks for some reason. Too much time spent snuggled on the couch in front of the fireplace perhaps? 🙂

Are you staying warm??
The weatherman is telling me it’s currently a balmy -15 degrees with the windchill. Good thing I like cold weather! Cold days are a great excuse to stay inside and snuggle up with a stack of magazines, a cozy fire, and puppy dog – wouldn’t you agree?
Rustic Holiday Decor
Are you ready to deck the halls?
Just because I’ve been waiting to get my home decorated, doesn’t mean I haven’t been scouting out all the pretty new Christmas collections. These are just a few of the items that caught me eye so far this year – all with a cozy, rustic flair.

It’s been one of those weeks.
The kind of week that is filled with long work days, and long commutes home, and appointments that were cancelled and rescheduled and cancelled again, and rainy weather, and the sudden realization that you have a whole lotta stuff to get done in just a short amount of time.
Reality never slowly creeps in, does it? It prefers to just bomb you with all the stress at once instead.
But that’s why we have lazy weekend mornings – for coffee and quiet and the chance to just be.
And do a little blogging. 😉
Cozy Pillows and Throws Under $30
One of my favorite things about this time of year is being able to curl up on the couch with a soft cozy throw and a pile of pillows to catch up on some reading or a favorite show.
And of course swapping out a few pillows and a new blanket is a great way to quickly change up the look of your room. I rounded up a few of my favorites to share today – extra cozy options that can easily take you through the rest of the fall season, right into Christmas, and straight through the winter.
And bonus – they’re all under $30.

Can you believe it’s November already??
We have a few weeks left of fall and I am hanging on to my favorite season for dear life. Sorry Christmas, I love you but I’m just not ready to let go of all the fall things yet. Please forgive me.
The New Bed
So here it is.
The bed I think I maybe might be regretting. And I suppose if you think you’re regretting something, than you probably are regretting something, so… there’s that.
It’s not the bed’s fault – it’s a perfectly beautiful bed.
It’s pretty. It’s unique. It’s well-made. It’s sturdy.
Favorites from Target’s New Hearth & Hand Collection with Magnolia
By now I’m sure you all heard the big news in the world of Chip and Joanna Gaines: 1 – Season Five will be the final season of Fixer Upper (not surprised and not all that sad about it either – last season was kind of a let down) and 2 – Magnolia will be launching a new collection at Target due out November 5th.
And while I won’t really miss Fixer Upper on TV, I do still think that Joanna’s style is flawless and her taste always on point, so if she wants to fill the shelves at my local Target store with all sorts of pretties, that’s ok with me. You won’t find me complaining one bit – especially now that I’ve stolen a few peeks online at what’s to come.
