NBD this Cars Bubble Blowing Machine has just taken over our life.
He is obsessed.
It's half off right now and if you have a little toddler I would highly suggest you invest 10 dollars for their happiness :)


Ryan's first pair of Nike Frees to match the rest of us. Kills me.
(( you can find them HERE ))


When did you get so big child!?!?


Football season is totally here.
Yay for Fall!!
(( Even though it is still so dang hot in Texas - I like the thought of Fall HA ))


My husband might be a little too excited about it. 

He got Ryan all pumped up for the season and has Ryan glued to ESPN lately.
(( I'm totally outnumbered ))


Said goodbye to the most beautiful mountains today! ( more to come on our little Utah trip soon! )


ANNND for the really exciting part,

Last week we signed the papers on our very first little HOME!!!!
We chose a floor plan and decided to build.

Oh my gosh, we are so excited.
(( Slightly clueless about what we are doing, but so excited! ))

It's been in the making for a while,
but because of a couple bumps in the road we are just now making it official  :)

YAY!

I have to pick out everything in my whole house THIS WEEK
( talk about pressure )
and they start building in about 3 weeks!

Aaron got his first REAL life paycheck as an attorney - SO WEIRD!

We are just feeling like mega adults right now and we are pretty giddy about it.

Happy Happy Friday Darlings!
XO
My husband's exact wording.....   "Anthropologie is DANGEROUS."

I'm guessing he means "dangerous for the credit card" ( but that's just a really good guess ;)

The danger that comes with Anthropologie is, that it is WAY more than just a cute clothing store.


From candles, that make our little townhome smell like a dream,
to Shoes ( my wish list booties they have right now-  HERE )
to Home Everything ,
and of course the clothes and accessories - 

Anthro has it going on!


I'm so excited to announce that these darling bloggers and I have teamed up to offer you a chance to win a $120 gift card to Anthropologie!


You can use the Rafflecopter below to enter.


The giveaway will run from 12:00 am EST on September 18th until 11:59 pm EST on September 25th.

My beautiful dear friend Chelsea and I decided to get crafty one day.

Gosh, we have been dreaming of fall over here in this 95 degree weather!

We had seen a bunch of fall wreaths floating around Pinterest and we decided to try one of our own!

You guys! 
You can totally do this. 
Super simple and WAY cheaper than buying your own at the store.


Step 1:  Get your supplies.
Burlap, wire ring, flowers, pumpkins, whatever else your little heart desires!
We found ours at JoAnns.


Step 2: Tie a knot to the 2nd inner wire.

Step 3: On the next wire in make a loop with the tail of your burlap.


Step 4: Take the tail of your burlap and loop in through the loop you just made.



Step 5:  Keep doing that about a million times all around your wire wreath.


            Tip: Make your loops on a different wire each time.


Step 6: To finish off your wreath tie another knot at the end.

Step 7: Adjust your loops so there are no bald spots.

Step 8: Add any flowers or fall embellishment you’d like using hot glue gun.


            Disclaimer: Sometimes the loops will not want to cooperate; you’ll just have to coax them to do what you want.  J

Also: you can make the loops as big and loose or as tight as you want them!

Happy crafting ladies!!

Speaking of fall...I'm currently in Utah with my family and in heaven with this weather!
The trees are changing and the mountains are beyond beautiful.
I LOVE this time of year!

Ohh Walt D...
You are oh so magical!


Aaron and I waited in line at 6:45 AM and were the first ones in the park.

Choose a "Non Weekend Day" to go to this park if possible and
BE EARLY to Magic Kingdom, it gets MEGA packed because it's definitely the most popular and it's worth loosing a few hours of sleep :)

#1. If I were you.. I would dash right over to Space Mountain first thing in the morning!
Favorite ride at Magic Kingdom.
We rode it twice in a row before it got too packed.


#2. Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
BRAND new ride as of April 2014.
Fast Passes were completely gone with this crazy new system I talked about earlier and this was by far the longest we had to wait in line! 
I made Aaron wait because I had to ride it before we left Disney!

Aaron was like "is this lady joking with that wait?" HAHA


Fast forward to getting off the ride 2 hours later HA....

I see why people wait so long!
It's the cutest thing ever.
Smoothest roller coaster I have ever ridden.
Plus it tells a cute story on the way.
Worth the wait.


#3. Mickey Pretzel
How can you not?
It's so cute!
We even scored a free one because of our "anniversary pin".


#4. Dole Whip.
Oh my gosh I felt like I was in Hawaii for 10 minutes!!
This is always our favorite dessert at Disney.

(and yes Aaron bought me my own Minnie bow which I wore the rest of the trip -
I am aware that I'm like a 5 year old)

I get the pineapple dole float and I'm obsessed!
A MUST!


#5. The Disney World Nighttime Spectacular.

It's amazing.
The castle turns colors and tells stories.
It's ohhh so magical!

We rode EVERY single ride in Magic Kingdom.
Small World, Pooh Bear, Peter Pan.. I love them all!

I had to do ALL the baby rides just so I could imagine having our baby with us! HA

XO
UMM is anyone else blown away that it's already September!?

Even though it's still 90 degrees here (Houston is crazy) and we have been to the splash pad almost every day this week, September means Summer's gone!!

From graduating Law School,
to the craziest summer of "Bar studying taking over our life" and hardly seeing my husband,
to the happiest vacations of celebration,
and ending with our baby turning 2!!!

It's been the most beautiful summer.
I would take it all over again in a heart beat.

(( ok maybe minus the Bar - pretty happy that's over HA ))

So summer, here you are in a blink of my favorite moments...





I'm convinced pictures are worth 1000 words,
and this summer deserves all the credit.

You stole my heart.
