Weekend Recap: The One With All The Shopping!

I cannot believe it’s Monday already!  I had a fun, jam-packed weekend, but that also means I’m exhausted on Monday morning (which is when I’m writing this post 😂).

Friday after school I had coffee with my mom, went grocery shopping, and then read/watched the World Series with Dustin until late.

Saturday morning I was up early to get ready for a quick day trip to Nashville with my mom!  We went to The Mall at Green Hills to do some shopping and it was great!  We both got really cute clothes, so I’ll do a shopping post soon.

 We started off in The Container Store and spent 30 minutes wandering from aisle to aisle–it was wonderful!


 We went into Nordstrom and tried on a bunch of clothes.  One of the tops that I loved but didn’t work for me was this ruffle hem top.  It was full of so much static when I put it on that it was completely stuck to my body.  I’ve seen a ton of bloggers wear this top and it’s so cute on, but I wish it were made out of a different material.



 Mom grabbed me this top to try on in Loft.  It was so cute….until I put it on.  I don’t like open sleeves or cold shoulder tops because they are too trendy for me, so this shirt was a definite no.  These types of tops look so cute on everyone I see, but they just aren’t for me.

We spent hours in the mall and ended up having a late lunch at Fido in Hillsboro Village.  Then we drove to 12th South to grab donuts at Five Daughters Bakery.  We swung by Franklin on the way home, but they were having a huge festival and the downtown was blocked off, so we turned around and came home!

I got home that evening about the same time as Dustin did.  We quickly changed clothes and headed over to my sister’s because her husband, Nick, had shot a huge buck but couldn’t find it.  Dustin was going to help track it.  I finally made Dustin leave a little before 11 PM because I was exhausted #canthanganymore


Sunday morning Dustin had to work so I slept in and just went to our church service.  I made my crockpot chex mix…

And I stayed up finishing a book I had gotten from the local library which was really good!  October book review will be coming this week to the blog!

Friday Favorites!

HAPPY FRI-YAY!!!!!  This has been the longest week, but it’s been a good week!  I wish I could say I can’t wait to sleep in tomorrow, but Mom and I (and hopefully Rachel) are headed to Nashville for the day to do some shopping….if the weather cooperates.  I’ll be looking for Christmas card outfits for Dustin and me.  I want us to maybe dress up a little since we’ve worn jeans and sweaters/button ups the past two years…any suggestions?

Let’s get to a few of my favorite things from the week!

 Tuesday was twin day at school so my partner teacher and I dresses alike.  None of our students got our shirts 😂 And this is what my hair look like if I don’t blow dry it straight and straighten it!



 Wednesday was my 30th birthday and I woke up to lots of surprises from Dustin!  I didn’t get a picture of everything but he had those balloons ready for me along with a sash!  

And thank you to everyone who wished me a happy birthday!

On the blog Wednesday, I shared 30 facts about me for my 30th birthday.  If you haven’t had a chance to read them, head on over there now!




 My best friend surprised me during my planning period later that day!!  She moved 3 hours away and I hadn’t seen her since September, so that was such a fun surprise!  I’ve got plans in about 2 weeks to go spend the night with her, but it was so nice to see her on my birthday–which also happened to be her 3rd anniversary!  You know you’ve got a good best friend when she asks permission to have her wedding on your birthday and then surprises you with a cookie cake that day!



 Dustin also had a sign on our porch, a sign in our yard, and a sign at school by the door I use to go in at school!  I was blown away and then laughed when he said he’s got decorations to use each year now ha!



One of my friends got me a sampler box from Sephora of all different face masks, so I tried out my first one last night!  Since last year, I’ve been pretty obsessed with skin care and trying to find the perfect regimen.  I was hooked last night and my skin felt so clean and soft after taking off that mask.  I’m thinking about doing a post on all of the masks and skin care samples I’ve gotten from Sephora recently!

30 Facts for My 30th Birthday

As always, a special thanks to my talented sister for these photos!!

Happy 30th Birthday TO ME!

Because I’ve seen this on a few other blogs, I thought I’d share 30 facts about me today.  Some of these you may already know, and some may be new to you!

1. 25 is my favorite number.
2. I used to play softball.  I batted 4th and played 1st base.
3.I have horrible eyesight but refuse to wear contacts or my glasses all the time.
4. I’m both the oldest and middle child.  I’m the middle child for my dad and the oldest child for my mom….all girls, too 😊
5. My goal in school was to be valedictorian.  I made my first B (89.3–I remember vividly) in chemistry and that knocked me out of the running.  I still graduated with above a 4.0.
6. My mom begged me to make Bs in college so I would enjoy college 😂😂 I took her advice and had a great college experience!
7. My hair is naturally brown and wavy.
8. My toenails are always painted.  The only time they haven’t been has been for surgery.
9. I could have died as a 3 year old.  I had the chicken pox which resulted in staph infection and I was hospitalized for over a week.  That resulted in my teeth being discolored (which I’m really self conscious about)
10. I really like running and the longest race I’ve ever run is a half marathon
11. I don’t like going to the dentist.
12. I love going to the dermatologist.
13. I pass out when I see blood coming out of someone’s mouth or when I’m giving blood (which is why I never give blood anymore!)
14. I can’t sing
15. I can’t play an instrument
16. I once rear-ended a couple who had been having an affair with each other.  Long story, but my insurance agent ended up having to tell the woman, after she claimed she had to go to the hospital for neck pain, that he would tell her husband who she was with if she didn’t stop calling me.  How did I know it was an affair?  They started out at the light beside me and kept making out–then I noticed it was a much older woman and a younger guy.  It was an interesting week.
17. I’m 5’7″ and am taller than my mom and both sisters
18. Yosemite National Park is the most beautiful place I’ve ever been in my life
19. I love to fly, but I get really nervous during take off because I stress about whether my ears will pop or not.
20. I’m extremely laid back about lots of things and Dustin is extremely type A about the things I’m laid back about.
21. I mostly sleep on my back.
22. I have a really good memory
23. I like to scare Dustin every once in a while because he’s so easy to scare
24. I take a shower every morning and every night…no matter what
25. I keep a running list of baby names on my phone along with a running list of books I want to read and the paint colors I used in my house
26. I am the worst at backing up my car, but I can parallel park.
27. I am a really fast reader
28. I never wanted to be a teacher, and I didn’t change my major to English until the spring semester of my sophomore year.  But I love it and know this is where God wants me.
29. I have a high pain tolerance
30. My favorite movies are When Harry Met Sally and Pretty Woman.
