Scenes From Our Weekend

Let me start by saying we had the best weather this weekend. It was sunny and the air was crisp- it was just perfect!!

Since October 1st marked the beginning of breast cancer awareness month, I have been sure to wear my pink.

Did you know:

-In the U.S., 1 in 8 women will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

-Every 19 seconds, someone in the world is diagnosed with breast cancer.
-Every 15 minutes, a woman dies of breast cancer in the U.S.
-When breast cancer is detected early in the localized stage, the 5 year survival rate is over 95%.
-It has been estimated that if every woman over the age of 50 had her yearly mammogram, breast cancer deaths in this age group would drop by 25% or more.

Scary facts but we can all work together to fight this disease. Tieks wants to join in the battle and help spread awareness.

I love the ballerina pink Tieks that they were kind enough to send me. They are the perfect shade of pink and so comfortable. Tieks are my go to flats, I always love their color selection.

I enjoyed the most delicious grilled Cobb salad from Butcher and Bee. I want to try and grill my lettuce now too.

I finally got around to organizing my photos and putting them in albums. I had a stack of photos sitting out for a good month that needed to be put away. I came across this picture of Sterling at 10 months around the same age as Frances now and it was crazy to me how much they look alike. Little twins.

If you are size nine go to TJMaxx in Mt Pleasant and buy these Vince shoes. I really wanted them but they just weren't practical for me but I sure do love them.

Sterling had another soccer game on Saturday and had his pictures taken before. I am dying over how cute these are.

I went and looked at fridges for our kitchen and I think I narrowed it down to this Samsung one. I have never bought a Samsung appliance though curious if anyone has?

I can't wait to have a double door fridge with extra space.

Frances figured out where our snack drawer was and was so proud of herself.

I stopped by the 20th Birthday celebration at Celadon Home. Champagne and home shopping is always fun. I want to find a spot for that killer purple rug.

Enjoyed happy hour with my parents since they were in town visiting.

Whipped up a delicious spread paired with an excellent Hess wine my mom brought.

I got my latest wine club shipment on Saturday. I love Wine Awesomness and highly recommend it. I do the three bottle mixed pack each month but there is a 6 bottle option as well. You can do all white, all red, or mixed. I always love the wines and they are usually ones I have never tried before. You can sign up Here to get 30% off your first order.

Found these two in bed together Sunday morning just giggling. It was the sweetest thing ever.

New snack obsession.

Lastly, I am teaming up with a wonderful group of ladies for a Fall giveaway. I don't do giveaways often but this is an awesome one with $500 cash and some other great goodies (I love the plaid scarf)!
