Ro made the menu for the week. 😂

She did get Mac ‘n’ cheese and gumbo. And chicken and gravy is on the menu for next week. 😄

Project clean out and reorganize what we call the playroom (but it’s actually more of a craft room/library with a Pac-Man arcade ha) started yesterday. Just pulling stuff out makes a HUGE difference (wish I had taken a true “before” photo). Planning on going through every book, bin, etc. though.

Today, we went to a kids market day where my kids loaded up on allllll kinds of freebies + supported a sweet friend’s little booth. Then, we ate boudin for lunch. Turned on college football this afternoon. Then had homemade pizza for dinner and pumpkin bread for dessert.

READING: I recently finished reading “The Green Ember” to my kids. My son had already read the entire series, but I read it out loud to him and my daughter. And we all REALLY loved it. On to the next in the series!

WATCHING: My husband and I are working through the seasons of “Would I Lie To You?” Lots of laughs. We’re actually going backwards-ish as we bounced around at first and think the later seasons are better than the first.

WEARING: These bright yellow Adidas are my current favorite pair of shoes!

ENJOYING: Fall things. The weather is still hanging around 90 degrees here. But we’re enjoying Fall flavors and making the house feel a little cozier. I’m hoping to make a mini Fall bucket list for us real soon!

LEGO-ING: This set is up next on my build list. And I got this vase to put it in!

EATING: Shrimp and sausage jambalaya. A few months ago, I wanted to make a jambalaya. So I found a couple of recipes with what I liked in them and meshed them together. And loved the outcome! And right now, I could eat it every week. Leftovers are even better!

DRINKING: Nettle infusions. FULL of vitamins and minerals (more on that here, if you’re interested). And my kids like them! So, I try to make one or two batches a week, so we can share.

Cozy reading is the best!

💛💛💛

We often play games with the kids before bedtime. Sometimes, we all play together. Sometimes, we split up. The last couple of times me and B have played something, he chose Kluster. Fun!

Had a little paper airplane competition at our co-op today.

Spent a couple of days in Broken Bow, OK last week for my sister’s bachelorette party. I somehow ended up documenting a lot of my (NA) drinks. So, here’s my trip to Broken Bow via beverages. 🥤💦☕️

(Guess I could’ve also titled this, “Drinks With Trees In The Background.” ☺️)

A real pretty evening @ home.

Just went to see Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, and I’m pretty sure me and my sis-in-law were the two youngest attendees by a fairly large margin.

Haven’t posted any thrift finds in a while (and there’s been a lot!). So, here’s a collection of things I got while visiting my family in Bossier City recently.

Bag of vintage scarves for $1.50. All but 1 are silk. Set of 2 Homer Laughlin magnolia platters for $2.50. A framed cross stitch for $1.
