Falling in love with my decor

Hello!

Good Morning!!!

Happy Friday!!

Ewww Friday the 13th!!!

Today I wanted to share how cute my front porch has become!

To me, Fall is all about Football. My husband and I are playing Fantasy Football and well I was born a Redskin fan. 

Well there's no doubt that me coming from the house hold I grew up in with the porch decorated for Football season and even a Redskin Christmas tree this there would be anything different in my house.... Well we haven't gotten the Redskins Christmas tree yet.... But we now have the Front porch decorated and I couldn't be more excited!

Now, I was going to share this post a while ago but I didn't want to hear the back lash of still being a football fan when there are players in the organization being disrespectful.

I am a fan of the game! A player can come and go from the team I picked to follow or well was born into following.... So yes I continue to watch The Game!

With that said... Here is what made my porch Fall like this year!

With Mums the colors of The Redskins
A Monogram Football
Redskins Ribbon
and a garden flag...

I'm absolutely IN LOVE!!!

Of course Audrey and Oswald have to be featured as well.....

Audrey of course being the real model!

Tell me what you think?

Do you decorate for Football season as well?

Thanks so much for reading my post!

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

Football Season Is BACK : Fantasy Football

Good Morning!

Football Season is Back!

Are You Ready For Some FOOTBALL?!

My husband decided he wanted to get into the sport more since I am a fan so we are playing Fantasy Football!

Which we had talked about it while we were eating at Buffalo Wild Wings and they were showing one of the NFL games and I didn't really push the subject... cause well he's not really a fan.

A week later, next thing I know is he looks at me and says, "Umm Hey, when is our draft?" 

Like whoa!

Come to find out he had been researching players and such.... He was ready!

I jumped right up and got it all set up... contacted our friends and we got the draft a rolling...

I found out he has been listening to me when we have watched games and I have talked about different players.

He was picking them for his team!

I had the best time during the draft because he got so nervous and kept saying....

"What do I do?"

 "Who should I pick next?"

Have to say I'm pretty Lucky and pretty proud of him!

We actually play against each other for week 1!!

Here's how our teams look:

My Team is named : Reed Between The Lines

Here are the starters:

QB: Tom Brady - NE

RB: Rob Kelly - WAS

RB: Dalvin Cook - MIN

WR: A.J. Green - CIN

WR: Larry Fitzgerald - ARI

TE: Martellus Bennett - GB

W/R Terrelle Pryor - WAS 

K: Mason Crosby - GB

DEF: Chiefs

My Husband's Team is : Show Me The TD's

Here are the starters:

RB: Devonta Freeman - ATL

WR: Pierre Garcon - SF

WR: T.Y. Hilton - IND

Kissing My 20's Good Bye : I did it!

Hey!

Good Morning!

How is everyone doing today?

I am so excited to share this with you!

I saw this and always said to myself that when I turned 30 I was going to do this myself. 

Well I did!

Ladies and Gentlemen...

I did an Adult Cake Smash!

Happy 30th Birthday to myself!

Now this wasn't your typical Adult Cake Smash... I let the Fur Babies join in on the fun as well!

Plus, I didn't get as messy as I should have... I mean eww...

That's when I thought," What have I gotten myself into?"

It was such a fun experience! 

Just to be silly for a moment and enjoy life!

I'm sure people are going to look at these pictures and be like why? 

Honestly, I didn't want to tell anyone I was doing them just for that reason but afterwards well... yeah I did it. 

You have to have fun in life and this was so much fun and I mean we did get our family picture taken but the Fur babies and I had a blast eating cake!

I am so Thankful that our family friend Sarah was able to make this dream come true for me!

Doing this helped me get over the meltdown of turning 30!

It's really just a number and I should be grateful I am still alive to be silly!

Hope you enjoy the pictures!

Let me know what you think?

Would You do a cake smash?

We also took some Family pictures as well and They were so good I had to share them with you as well! 

 Of course, I had to get her to take our pictures in our Redskin Jerseys! 

Think someone found out he's not really the Favorite......


Hope you enjoyed all of the pictures!

If you would like to see more of Sarah's work she has a website : Sarah Elizabeth Photography

She definitely doesn't disappoint and honestly I don't think I have ever taken pictures and loved every single one of them but with her I have!

Thank you for checking out my post!

Hope you have an awesome day!

Are you ready for some.............Party food?

Good morning! Happy Super Bowl day! I'm so ready to have a few friends over and enjoy our party food! Our friends are going to bring their Pug over so we will be having our own "Puppy Bowl" tonight as well! 

So far Kris has said he wants.... Meatballs.....Rotel cheese dip...and a cheese and crackers plate..... Really? 

We will be getting all of that as well as my picks... Pigs in a blanket and Green Bean fries. I'd like some Buffalo Wings but the crock pot will be full of Meatballs and I'd rather have them. 

I would love to make a homemade doggie treat for Audrey and Berkeley to have because the Pups should get to party as well!

Speaking of Audrey she did awesome at the vet yesterday and remember I said I was thinking either 2.8 or 3 pounds..... well she weighed 4.2 pounds! 

She also went up the steps all by herself yesterday to go inside! After I blinked and saw she was up the steps I think she can stop growing for a couple days now! 

Also I have been very good I haven't bought anything from www.Jane.com in 4 days now! whoot whoot! 

Well time to go to the store and then get some things cooking!

Are you ready for some football? I surely am! I created a Fantasy Football league for the football loving girls in my life. so excited cant wait for that to happen! I also just bought a Redskins garden flag! Oh yeah BABY!

Kris and I are going to be fixing Sauerkraut and Bratwurst for our friends tonight!!! So I need to shower and start cooking :) 

Have a wonderful rest of the day!

Confession

Well, still in my funk... but I'll get over it. Anyway, I don't know if it's just me or not....but I am really wanting to decorate for Christmas. ( cricket cricket) I know it is just the start of November and not even Thanksgiving yet but but but.... it is cold outside and sitting by the lit Christmas tree sipping on hot chocolate watching holiday movies just seems so perfect.


I come from a family that has a tree decorated in its own theme in each room of the house so 7 trees total. The Victorian tree, The kitchen gingerbread man tree, The beach Santa tree, the tea cup tree,the family kids craft tree, The Redskin tree, and my ballerina tree. So I find myself wanting to start giving each room of my boyfriends house a theme. Then I realize the amount in my bank account and I snap out of it.


So far, I know I would like the kitchen to have either snowmen or penguins in it with the plaid place mats I saw at Target over the weekend. I would love to make or buy a sign that says " Baby, it's cold outside.

That of course is my favorite holiday song. Jessica Simpson sang that song with her ex husband Nick Lachey and it has been on repeat every Christmas since!

The thought of Christmas makes me all giddy and yet frightened because I have no idea what gifts I am wanting to get my boyfriend or family.


Please leave a comment telling me about your holiday decor. Anything you have seen that fits the snowmen/penguin thought for the kitchen. Your favorite holiday movie, or your favorite holiday song! Be sure you become a follower! Have a wonderful night! Good night!

From This to That.....

A HTTR Adventure!

Well I can say I for sure got my moneys worth at yesterday's football game between the Washington Redskins and the San Diego Chargers. The game went into overtime and the Washington Redskins came out with the win!


There is nothing like sitting in he stadium singing the victory song for each touchdown made as well as the victory itself.  I have to say besides being at home or myrtle beach being at fed ex field is one of my favorite places to be.


The day started out with me scaring myself awake from hitting my night stand with my hand as a rolled over and almost off the bed. I saw that is was about 20mins before time I had planned to wake up so I sneeked out of the room and made breakfast for my boyfriend and I.   Nothing too special just put some Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls in the oven and poured some Sunny D into our Avenger cups. I got my redskin gear on while it cooked.

I decided to wear my Chris Cooley jersey even though he doesn't play anymore he's still a Redskin! I also wore my forever 21 skinny jeans, my gold glitter flats, Redskins jacket and Redskin earrings!


Once we ate we were ready to go Kris had packed his truck with our chairs and I had his "I like" cooler packed with drinks and the ham biscuits.


The truck ride was fun we started our trip out with listening to the silver bullets the band we saw play Friday night. Then he switched it to Pandora and played the Eric Church station. (My favorite) we sang most of the songs and danced in the truck together. Yep...we are crazy. Kris likes to change the words to songs and make them dirty or just really funny. So I spent most of the ride laughing at him. I also got to learn more about cars and jet skis. Also learned that tire tread on the road is called an alligator! (Just in case you are on a trivia game or want to impress someone, thought you should know that too) Kris is my Google I tell him that everyday.


After all my lessons and singing, we arrived at the stadium! Kris set up our chairs in his truck bed opened the window to the back so we could still hear our country music. We ate the ham biscuits and people watched. There was burgundy and gold everywhere! Oh and little hints of blue and yellow but mostly everywhere you looked it was redskin fans.


Now it was time for the game we settled into our seats and the game was crazy! I told Kris I had never been to a regular season game where they won and that happened yesterday! Kris laughed at me screaming and my names I called some players he even mocked me a little. All in all it was well worth the money! The crowd was awesome! Some a little scary but others gave Kris and I something to giggle to ourselves about.


We thought we would never make it home from the accidents and road work on 95. After a stop to food lion for some hamburger and milk, we came home I cooked tacos and we watched Ironman. Not long after our bellies were full we went to sleep.


I am so thankful for getting to go to the game and spend that special moment with Kris. He is a trooper that's for sure. I think I may have embarrassed him a little singing Hail To The Redskins. He isn't a football fan and just watches because it is something I am into.


I was born a Washington Redskin fan because of my dad but within the last couple of years it has really become very meaningful to me and what I look forward to seeing on Sunday  Monday  or Thursdays when they play. I know it is a subject I can bring up and talk to my dad for a while about. I was a big Chris Cooley fan and still wear his jersey. No player has been able to replace him in my eyes yet. He is the player that made me interested in watching the games more.

                                        

Well I hope you have enjoyed reading this post! Hail To The Redskins! Hope you become a follower!

NFL Washington Redskins

Check....Check...Check...Let's Go!

Ahhh! I'm so excited! Today, I have been running around getting things prepared for the Washington Redskins game my boyfriend and I are going to that is tomorrow!


The Washington Redskins play the San Diego Chargers and it's the Redskins Homecoming game! I saw a friend had put on his Facebook status that he was still trying to sell tickets to Sunday's game. I contacted him and said I would love to help him out and take those tickets off his hands. I met him this morning and bought the tickets.


I went grocery shopping afterwards. I decided to get some ham, swiss cheese, biscuits and some mustard along with all the other items we needed in the house.

I now have the ham biscuits all prepared! Now its time for me to hurry and decide what I'm going to wear to the game......

 

So now I need to decide what I want to wear to the game!

Remember to change your clocks back an hour tonight!
