Is it really October?
Omgosh…so fall is now officially in full swing…Christmas will be here, like, TOMORROW…where, oh where is the time going?
This weekend of mine was pretty good…started out with a nice little family dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant, Los Arcos, on Friday evening.

Saturday, I got to hit up King St. shopping district with my friend Chrissy! {Boo on me for not getting a pic of us together!} We went to Forever 21, joking that it was the only place either of us could afford, and found a lot of great deals. I even found the perfect pair of riding boots for fall {here is a similar pair, mine were brown and slightly taller…not bad for just under $40!}:

I also found this cute little navy and taupe polka-dotted skirt for work:

I found a few other key pieces that were on sale…I seriously love Forever 21…missed it so much when I moved to Charleston from California 7 years ago, so I’m stoked that they are here now.
We also checked out what was new at The Gap and I randomly happened upon the very last of these tees sitting by its lonesome and just had to get it for Tanner {to be handed down to Breckin in a few years}. Hubby loves the Packers.

On the way home, Chrissy and I also had a chance to hit up the new Hobby Lobby on its grand opening weekend! We were beyond excited…and beyond overwhelmed when we walked in the door – the place is HUGE! And there was just SO MUCH to see. We decided we definitely needed to come back next time with an exact plan or idea for a craft so we knew exactly what to look for. We did get a few things though. Chrissy got some small items to finish up some DIY decor for her upcoming wedding and I found some crafts to do for my home that I can’t wait to show YOU right here on the blog. The first includes this “S”:

On Sunday, Jake took the boys to PetSmart and got some more fish to add to our tank…we now have 8 little fishies and they seem to be doing well.
Speaking of pets…some of you that know me on Facebook know that I adopted this beautiful little girl last week:
Her name is Tundra and she is a Siberian Husky, approximately 3-4 years old. She is a total sweetheart. She reminds me of Dakotah, the Siberian Husky I gave up {to an incredibly loving family} about a year and a half ago due to working a job with 14-hr shifts and Breckin being so young at the time. I had been feeling the void of having a sweet pup in my life {pretty much ever since giving her up} and had decided that we were ready to have one again. We are at a much better place with the age of the boys now and my job’s hours are much better suited for caring for a dog. I’ve been walking her every day and she has been so good.
While the boys were out getting new fish, I prepped stuff for the garage sale I’ll be having this coming weekend. Later that afternoon, we went over to our friends Casy & Donnell’s house for dinner…they have boys that are pretty much Tanner’s and Breckin’s ages and also a 6-month old baby girl. It was fun watching the boys play and getting to catch up with our friends.
Overall it was a great weekend! Hope y’all have a great week! xoxo
