Ok so I didn’t watch the Emmys. I actually live so far underneath my new fancy mom rock I couldn’t even tell you who the host is. How sad am I? To be perfectly honest I’ve only ever really been into the MTV movie awards and anything country. Yes I love country music and I won’t defend it any further. But ok wait, best moment in MTV movie awards history is surely this gem right here:

You’re welcome.

Ok so this is my night life lately. Put Mav to #sleepynuhnight and then Dan follows suit and then I know I should sleep so I can be the best version of myself, (yeah right. Need a lot more than 8 hours in a row of closed eyeballs) but I can’t. Because: social media. It’s amazing how it has taken over my life. I try to take breaks and have even been known to deactivate my Facebook from time to time, but to be honest I love feeling connected. I love sharing and reading all the stuff (humble braggers stand up!) And yes I even will admit to the occasional stalk sesh. Where before I realize it I’m on Juan Pablo’s mother’s ex boyfriend’s new girlfriend’s hairesser’s Instagram page like how the fuck am I not insta famous yet??? Like what’s a girl gotta do to get some free ray bans sent her way? Maybe even a Michael Kors tote? At this rate I’ll take a free sample of Pantene if it meant I achieved insta fame. 

So that was a taaaaaan-gent. About my extracurricular night time activities after hubby and son are tucked tight away in the sheets beside me. But what I really wanna talk about is 

IT’S FALL!

The magical time of year when we adorn our front porches with hay bales and mismatched (but oh so matched) gourds and pumpkins. The nights are just begging for a bonfire with everyone gathered around it in hoodies and sweats. Plaid shirts and strategically ripped, perfectly dyed denim is the go-to for apple orchard attire. And Sundays are for a pot-a-sauce, some good ol’ down home fall festivities with the kids and ends with adult bevys on the couch! My God, it was so hard to let go of summer but now that the weather is matching the calendar?! I’m waving the flag at the front of the fall bandwagon! Jean shirts wrapped around my waste and pumpkin craft beers are kinda my thing and I aaaam toying with the idea of darkening my hair. (Do I don’t I? Do I don’t I?) I couldn’t wait to get home today after attending “the final hoorah #brunch” at my MIL’s because I needed to be wearing a flannel, you know, with such a cool breeze in the shade of course. Or buffalo plaid. Or a knit hat draped on my head. I even called my mom and sister on my way home to plan some harvest hooplah for our Monday plans! Walked in the door to my immaculate-because-it’s-on-the-market house, opened the windows and lit two pumpkin candles like the basic 31 year old I am, (Do I say that a lot? My age? I feel like I do.) and got my Victoria’s Secret sweats on complete with a new long sleeved t from Nordstrom rack. Kicked my feet up and watched two documentaries recommended to me by my girlfriend while the dudes took a nap. The documentaries were the beginning of a new journey I’m excited to start, but am still educating myself on before I take a life changing plunge. (Holler gypsy.)

Which brings me to this… There’s something about the fall that makes me want to reinvent. Make my body better, my mind healthier, and buy a shit ton of new clothes and makeup. Do you guys feel like this? Like it’s a New Year’s resolution kind of vibe for me. So, this fall I plan to lose some weight. Like 15 pounds would be nice. Pick up a new hobby, like kickboxing at the new place in Clifton Park. Sell our house and find a new dream home. And hope to expand this little family we have here 🙂 so there it is! those are my goals and dreams for this new season. I hope I’m not alone in this way of thinking, but if I am, more power to me. And if I’m not, well you have yourself a cheerleader in me 🙂 (oooooh I think that I found myself a cheerleaderrrrr. that song’s great) oh, side note – I bought Mav a new fall wardrobe today. Zara for kids and this little shop on Instagram called Paper Doll Clothing Company made my liiiife this afternoon 🎉❤️🍂

Ps. I love sharing my life this way. I so appreciate all the love and support I’ve been receiving. It means more to me (than I think I can even comprehend) that anyone even cares to read my run-on sentences and random digressions on a regular basis. So thank YOU, and feel free to share back any thoughts on any of my posts, but please just keep it in the sunshine ➕☀️

 Ok for real, I’m going to bed now 🙂
