tuesday things.

Happy Tuesday friends! I hope your week got off to a great start and you are not feeling the slump of Monday like I am today! I've been wanting to start a few new series with you all for a while, but never felt I had enough content to make it worth your while.  However, today I think is a good time to start with you all!

A while ago, I came across the blog How Sweet Eats and fell in love with her style and with all of her "crumbs".  Her blog primarily focuses on cooking/baking and all things kitchen, but throughout the month, she does some fun posts like Tuesday things, monthly favorites: lifestyle and makeup, and all of her fun travel adventures.  Her crumbs inspired me so much that I wanted to start doing a weekly Tuesday things post with you all! 

The idea behind Tuesday Things is to share a collection of random things that have brought a smile to my face over the past week - whether that is food, a book or a person.

So here we go! 

Tuesday Things

1. I am sad that Bath and Body Works did not bring back the Farmstand Apple scent this year, but I did manage to find the wall plus on Amazon so I snatched a bunch of them up.  I love the scent and will continue to use it until I run out of fresheners.

2. I bought my first ever Scentsy warmer and bar this week and I cannot wait to get it in the mail.  I hadn't planned to buy anything from Scentsy, but when I saw their Autism Speaks warmer, I was sucked in.  Now to see how to work everything once it arrives!

3. I have been on the hunt for more booties.  I am in love with these booties from TOMS, but I am not sure if I should spend the $100 or not.  I'm upset at myself because I fell in love with a pair on Zulily, but did not buy them and now they're gone.  Silly me for not picking them up!

4. I am in love with this wristlet and the matching purse.  The color is perfect for Fall and it is my absolute favorite wallet ever. 

5. We went apple picking this past weekend with our friends and it was so nice out.  The weather finally made it's way down to a more reasonable temperature which was perfect for enjoying time in the orchard grabbing apples.  I cannot wait to make some recipes with the apples!

6. Speaking of recipes, look at this recipe from Mix & Match Mama! Who doesn't love pumpkin and who doesn't love coffee cake? Put them together and YUM! She has a few cookbooks out that I have been wanting to purchase, but I think I will ask for them for Christmas 

7. Have you watched The Good Doctor at all? If you have not, I would highly recommend it.  It came out last week and it is one of the only shows that I will stay up passed my bedtime to watch.  The past 2 weeks have sucked me in and I cannot wait to see what the show brings.

8. Setting up my office has been both a fun and frustrating process.  I think I am almost to the point where I will feel good about the space, but I still need to hang the artwork.  Good thing Target has these cute frames for all of my art I've purchased while traveling. 

9. We're hosting a Halloween party this year and I am having such a hard time finding a costume.  I think I will have to go shopping for one next weekend to see what's out there.  I kind of want to do steam punk but would have to kind of assemble a costume.

10. We're working on a big trip for next year and I am so excited! Once I know what the official plan will be for 2018, I will let you know!

I'd love to hear from you!

❤ I love being busy, but lately we've been too busy.  I am looking forward to not having every weekend jam packed with things to do.  We will get to relax a little bit in July - just in time for summer.

❤ I forgot how much I love to knit.  It's amazing how relaxing knitting can be when you're taking the time to make something special for a friend or family member.

❤ Strawberry picking is one of my absolute favorite family traditions with have with Justin's family.  We had perfect weather on Sunday! I wish I could have stayed longer, but I had a baby shower to get to.

❤ The weather has cooled off in Michigan which is making it on the warm and cool side.  This is my favorite weather because I can be comfortable in jeans and a t-shirt but shorts would also be a good option.  

❤ This weekend we are going to finish painting the dining room, go through our clothes and get ones we don't need and clean out our pantry.  I'm looking forward to getting rid of some things we do not need and open up some room for organization.

❤ I am on the hunt for a good summer pink nail polish.  I tend to prefer Essie polishes, but I am open to any and all suggestions.  I just want a fun pink for summer for my fingers and toes. 

❤ We've been talking about planning an international trip sometime next year - should we do England or should we do Japan? They're both so very different and would offer some amazing experiences.

❤ I keep forgetting things I need to do yet feel like I have all the time in the world and have nothing I should be doing.  

Question of the Day: What fun things have crossed your mind this week?

I'd love to hear from you!

❤ Watching a friend get married is such a wonderful thing.  There's nothing more exciting than watching them take the next big step in life with the person they love. 

❤ We should be getting our curtains this week in the mail, is it embarrassing to admit that I am so excited to hang them up and add a pop of color to my living room?

❤ I am so psyched that Justin's parents opened their pool.  Now to just make some time to go over and actually enjoy it this year.

❤ Sometimes I wonder things like, "who looked at a crab and thought, 'I need to eat that'?' Seriously, who decided that these would be something we would not only eat, but pay a decent amount of money for? 

❤ Have you ever done a bullet journal? I am so excited because I am going to be starting one next week! It's a bit late in the year, but I was so inspired on Pinterest that I could not pass up the opportunity. 

❤ I need to find moisturizing treatments for my hair and skin.  I just have to be careful because my hair is colored so the treatment has to be good with hair dye.

❤ I have not been motivated lately to accomplish much.  Not sure what is causing it, but I pinned a few articles to read to help get over the slump.  Hopefully once June gets done we can take a deep breath and really purge our house.

❤ I am looking forward to one of our new patterns coming out next month with Thirty-One! If you have not had a chance, join my VIP Group to get the latest scoop on new product and patterns available.

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I hope you survived Monday and are looking forward to a great west of your week! Today I wanted to start a new series called Tuesday Things.  Every week I will share a list of things that happened, things that I found amusing, random thoughts, and anything else that comes to mind over the past week.  I got the idea when I stumbled across Jessica Merchant's Blog while looking for some books to read this summer! So here are my ten things for this week! 

• Baby goats are the cutest thing ever.  They are so soft and so sweet and the sounds they make just melted my heart.  For some reason, I thought they were bigger at two weeks than when I saw them.  But I am so glad I got to spend time with goats this past weekend!
• I have been watching Pretty Little Liars from the beginning in anticipation of the series ending. I've been realizing how much I forgot the more I've been watching the show.  Hopefully the do the show justice by finally giving us all the answers to what really happened.
• We spent 30 minutes talking about curtains at Home Goods on Sunday.  I never thought curtains would be how we would spend our Sunday afternoon, but we had fun talking through what we are both envisioning for the living room and dining room.
• I'm drumming up my to be read pile for Summer and cannot wait to share it with you all! Be sure to check back later this week to see what I have planned for this summer.
• I am on the hunt for a new face moisturizer (with some SPF if possible).  Have any good recommendations for me? FYI - I have sensitive skin and get dry in my T-zone.
• Superman ice cream is my jam.  I have been digging it so much lately with summer officially here.
• I have been loving Essie's Gel Couture polish so much! I actually paint my nails at least once a week with it! 
• I cannot wait to decorate my house for summer! I love getting all of the fun and bright items out and decorating the house.
