How I Single-Handedly Won the Iron Bowl

I’ve never been a big believer in superstition. Sure, I’ll knock on wood or throw salt over my shoulder, but when it come to sports, I know it’s completely out of my hands. Until last night.

Leopard for Fall and Winter

Leopard print is one of those patterns that has truly stood the test of time. We wear it year round but we tend to love it more in the fall and winter months. I think it’s because of the warm colors and the way it goes with the darker ones like plum, forest green, and mustard yellow. I raided my closet and scoured the internet for some great options for us this season and next (though it feels like winter out there right now).

Currently Loving- October 2019

So I’d like to know where October went. I feel like it was just October 1st. Wow, what a busy month! I keep a running list of things that I love about each month, and I have to say that this month’s list is quite long. So grab your coffee and settle in.

Fall Fruit Pizza

I made this dessert recently and tried it out on some of our friends because they don’t mind being the guinea pigs when it comes to cooking. The last dessert I took to their house was the Butterfinger cake I shared back in December. Our friend’s response was that he might even like the fruit pizza better than the Butterfinger cake. That’s saying something since he really likes that cake. I promised this recipe back in the summer when I posted about my original fruit pizza, so here you go.

Thursday Thoughts- It’s the Little Things

Happy Friday Eve! I hope your week has been going well, and I hope that today’s and tomorrow’s work days are fast! It’s been quite a long week for me, and this teacher is tired! Report cards go out next week, so we’ve all been making sure our I’s are dotted and our T’s are crossed before everything is set to be submitted. Teachers, you feel me right? Not gonna lie, it’s felt a lot like this lately.

But, the weekend is almost here and so is our fall break, which is really just one day and then a work day. I’ll take what I can get, though.

Better Beauty, Better Skin, and a Free Gift

Happy October 1st! That’s a thing we do in the Norman family. My mother-in-law’s family started it, I’m pretty sure, and now every first day of the month, it’s a competition to say, “Happy ____ 1st!” first.

Currently Loving- September 2019

I sure hope October is bringing some cooler temperatures! So long, September and your record highs, your drought, and your ridiculous power bills. We are all done with you! October, please bring us highs of 80 instead of 100, the desire to drink hot coffee instead of iced, the need to wear the sweaters we’ve all been buying but haven’t been able to wear, and better attitudes because we’ll no longer be drenched in sweat. Please and thank you.

I’m not as bitter as I sound, but I sure am ready for October. October really signifies fall to me. It’s essentially the beginning of the holiday season, and let’s face it, there’s just something about this time of year that can make you feel hope and happiness like no other time of the year can. It’s a time of new beginnings and opportunity, and I always have a sense of optimism inside when October rolls around. I am trying to set my intentions for this season since I’m already realizing how busy it’s going to be. But for now, let’s reflect on some of the greatness of September.

Seven on a Saturday- Fall/Halloween Doormat Ideas

Happy Saturday! I’ve got all the fall decor on my mind today. We’ve nearly reached the end of September and we’ve officially entered fall, so we should all be longing for cooler temps, those changing leaves, and duh, the pumpkin spice EVERYTHING! But if you’re looking for a fun new fall decor addition, why not start with a fun doormat? Everyone that darkens your door will love it, and it’ll likely be a conversation piece upon arrival. Each photo is linked to it’s purchasing source to make it easy for you.

Taco Pizza Recipe

School is in full swing around here, well, it has been for a while, and that means I’m reaching for quick dinner recipes. Though this one may not be the healthiest of options, it sure is tasty and will surely please the whole family.

Seven on a Saturday- Chic Ceiling Fans

Happy Saturday, y’all! How is it almost fall and it still feels like a million degrees outside? One thing Paul and I have both said recently (and pretty much since we’ve lived in our apartment) is that we would like to have a ceiling fan in our bedroom. We have a tower fan that works for cooling purposes, but a ceiling fan would get a tower fan off the floor and help to combat these hot summer nights.
Since I’ve never shopped for ceiling fans before, I just started googling and found several options at Home Depot. However, I’ve not been following 100 different home decor Instagram accounts without picking up on the brand, Hunter Fans. There a few of those in here, too. Scroll down to see some of the ones I’m considering. Each picture is linked for you.
