Life with ABCD

AHHHHH, one more sleep until Halloween!    Today,  I am joining Andrea and Erika for their Friday Favorites link up!  ONE:   Checking another item off our fall bucket list...support a small business. A local baker had a pop up shop and I loved the idea of supporting this business woman. These cookies were definitely a favorite this week!   I bought some extras for tomorrow and to possibly give to a dear friend/neighbor.   TWO: These mess free markers are some of my favorites to pull out when I’m looking for an activity to keep the boys entertained on a rainy day. The best part is not having to worry about a mess on the table, wall, or hands. I know we are all thinking about Christmas presents so this would be a good one. I have gifted these before with other small gifts to make a big one!  THREE: Thank you to the Hallmark Channel and their Christmas movies!  I know you’ve seen this and probably have this saved but doesn’t it just make you a little giddy looking at this list.   I am re

Friends, we made it to Wednesday!  Hooray!!! This week has a little more excitement in the air with only 3 more days until Halloween!  I am linking up with Sheaffer and Shay to share a little bit of what's been going on. What we’re eating  Monday - Sandwiches  Tuesday- Hamburger sliders  And the rest of the week is a mystery   Since we are having some cold weather,  I am thinking about chili or Shay’s Ghoul-ash for Saturday. Yummy! What I’m reminiscing about The Grand Opening of Nickel and Suede!  I went and did not take a single picture.  What is wrong with me?!?! I think I get overwhelmed and a little stressed out.  I do not take “instagram worthy" pics and I always feel silly since I am usually by myself. But, I can share what I bought and seriously it is all the heart eyes for these earrings. The first ones are the Grey Pythons and they were free with a $50 purchase so basically I felt like I won the lottery. What I’m loving This lotion from N &S smells SO good and I

Happy Friday, friends!!!   I can't believe there is only 1 week left in October which means that next week will be filled with Halloween fun and excitement.  I am joining Andrea this week for Friday Favorites! It is always such a fun link up and I enjoy reading everyone’s post too. ONE:  Last weekend, we were able to get away to a tiny house about an hour and half away.  We were only there for one night which was perfect for us. We had so much fun!  There was a pond for fishing, trails, and a fire pit. B took C on a lot of adventures outside while I stayed with D inside.  He didn't seem to mind...he just played with his cars.  It was good for the soul to escape! TWO: Short hair, don't care!!  I went to the salon for a little root touch up and haircut on Monday.  Over the summer, I went to another stylist while I was visiting my parents and things went horribly wrong.  My hair was long and all I wanted was a trim and some highlights. Well, I walked out with a really bad hair

Hey everyone!! Today I’m joining Ashley and Erika for Tuesday Talk.  This is where we share anything on our mind; of course, for me it is still ALL about Halloween! I have had so much fun decorating for Halloween that I thought I’d share a little of our spookiness. Enter if you dare! We are ready for the 31st!  Thanks for stopping by and reading! -A-  

I am over here doing a happy dance because it's Friday!  B took the day off today which is rare so we are starting our weekend early. As always, I am excited to join the fun with Erika and Andrea.  Here is my little round up of favorites from this week!  ONE:   I went to Wal-Mart and even though I did not have much time to wander the aisles, I did manage to find some goodies. Yes, another Halloween shirt! My 3 favorite things in one shirt!  Camo, pink, and soft fabric 🤗 This one is so cozy and I think it is part of a sleep set but you just might see me wearing it during the day.  I usually buy my sleep shirts from Wal-Mart.  They can be a little stiff but will soften after a few washes but this one is SO buttery soft.  I am not ashamed that it’s a Christmas sleep shirt. In fact, I want to go back and find some more. Seriously, so good!  These are my favorite pants for C.  So comfy, versatile, and love the price! He already has camo and blue pants so we are set for winter and sprin

  Hey guys!!! I started working on my resume, WAHOO!!!  But, that took all of my spare time this week and I also got food poisoning on Wednesday so that left me a little tired.  All that to say that today I am sharing a few  things that made me laugh this week! Truth to all of the above!! Enjoy your weekend!   -A-   

It's Friday which means another Friday Favorites with Andrea and Erika!    I just have a few favorites to share this week. I hope that these little things that made me happy will inspire you in some way.  ONE: Tuesday was National Coffee Day and who am I to argue with this (maybe made up) holiday! I loaded the boys and we headed to Starbucks.  I only have 3 drinks (java chip frappe, chai tea latte, and hot chocolate) that I usually order.  I am a fan of sweet coffee drinks and I never know how to order at Starbucks so I tend to always drink the same old. But, I decided that I would try something new and I went with the Pumpkin Cold Brew.  It was good and definitely felt like a "fall" drink. I especially enjoyed the foam and would have liked more of that but it wasn't bad and by the time we got home I had finished it.  I think next time I'll ask them to make it a little sweeter. Kinda random but I love the new lid! TWO: The boys and I have been having some fun thi

EEEEKKKK, it's the first day of October and now is the time to get ready for Halloween!  source I don't know if you are like me but I need at least 10 Halloween shirts. Here are some oldies  from Apple Blvd that I grabbed last year.   Okay, I got THIS cute pullover last year from Target and it’s back again this year.  Yippeee!!! I may be wearing it today. I sized up because I wanted an oversized look.  I also found THIS and THIS one that may end up in my next Target pick up.  This is my new shirt from Frogs and Frills that I got for $6!  It is a bella canvas shirt which means it is super soft.  I know it will be worn over and over this month! I grabbed a couple of fun Halloween items from Target in late September. Glow stick necklaces, flashing pumpkin necklace, and a monster headband are necessities to get into the Halloween spirit. I love to use fun holiday plates for the kids and who are we kidding, me too!!!  Last year, I grabbed a fun tablecloth and used it the last few
