The countdown has begun to October 1st when the crazy at work will end. Then next weekend I am taking a 4 day weekend to recover from the daily stress of the past month. It shall be glorious. This weekend though I will be trying to get some stuff done around the house while relaxing too, lots of soup will be made for the week, yard work and reading. Until then let’s get to some favorites from this week.
Favorite DIY Project: After completing my DIY Wooden Bench, I feel like I need a new project. This just might have to be my next one, either for my living room entry or above my bed. Don’t want to DIY it, just click on the picture to buy it on Etsy for $48 for the pair.

Favorite Recipe: Doesn’t this look amazing! Perfect way to ring in the Fall.

Favorite Quote: I have to remember this because this month has been crazy and the stress took over and I haven’t been taking care of myself.

Favorite Giveaway: If you haven’t already, what are you waiting for enter! Shameless plug I know.
Favorite Funnies:
Kinda genius, kinda sad.



Say it loud say it proud!

Yes, exactly. I need to remember it when times are stressful.
I have no words for your funnies – they are so hilarious, but the netflix one…pretty much hard not to feel that way at work lately lol! Love that quote 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!

That personal theater is hi-larious!! Take care of you, I think we all forget to do that and it’s great to have a reminder!
Yes, when times are stressful it seems we are the first ones to be forgotten.
That coffee looks divine! I am going to make these

Those sounds really good, yes please report back! Will have to add that movie to the list I don’t think I’ve seen it. Thank you. Have a great weekend!
Adding that DIY project to my list too! It’s so pretty!
So pretty but rustic too. Looks easy enough too.
Hahaha, I love the lolz today! I also love the wrought iron holders!!
Thank you! Aren’t they so pretty!
no netflix in prison! hahahahaha
A pretty good deterrent if you ask me! 😉
Bahaha! That settles it. I can never go to prison. Netflix will keep me on the straight and narrow. 🙂
How else would we keep up with our shows?!
Oh, that home theater is hilarious!! Oh that coffee looks so good!! Would love some of that right now. Hope you have a great weekend.
I could really use that coffee right about now too! 😉 Have a great weekend!
oh my gosh – that personal theater is the funniest thing i have ever seen, pure brilliance. i want to try it.
how cute are those lights?! i bought a little nightstand to makeover and this week have bought 2 more things – my husband was like um are you gonna be one of those people who have a million projects going?!
Ohhh you’ll have to share how it turns out! I totally get the project thing! Hehe!
Bahahahahaa the sausage funny!! So good! I also love that “home theater!” Happy Friday – we made it!
It is pretty impressive being just a box and all. We made it!
Self care is the most important item on the agenda – or it should be!
It really is and I need to remember it.
I like your next DIY project idea, those are really cute!
Have a great weekend!!
Thank you. I have two places where they could go.
Those lantern sconces are so perfect! I’m in love with them
You should make them too! Looks easy enough.
THOSE LANTERNS ARE KICK BUTT COOL! DO IT!
It’s totally returning the favor – and a little sausage – pffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.
LOVE IT!
Have a wonderful weekend!
I think I just might do it. Have a great weekend!
Okay, I seriously want to try that theatre thing haha. And that coffee looks AMAZING!! Have a great weekend!
It is kinda genius though I wouldn’t want anyone walking in with my head in a box. Haha!
I absolutely love the hanging laterns! I think you could totally DIY it, it looks pretty easy. Happy weekend!
Yes, a few items and I should be good. Have a great weekend!
Love those lamps! Super cute! Happy Friday!
They look easy enough to make too.
HAHA! Personal theatre! If only it could block out all background noise. The DIY looks so pretty.
If only, though I wouldn’t want to sit for 2 hours with a box on my head. Haha!
I love your funnies! I love lanterns, too!!
Hooray for 4 day weekends and I hope you enjoy this one, too!
I am hoping for it to be very low key, and save the projects for next weekend!
A little sausage?!?! LOL!!!!! Oh my! Hahaha!
I LOVE those lantern sconces!!! They are adorable! And that coffee looks amazing!
Hope you have a great weekend!
Haha! I couldn’t help it! Hopefully I can make the scones next weekend. The coffee needs to get made tomorrow. 😉
Best reason to avoid prison, ever. And those sconces are amazing. I think maybe even I could pull those off!
I mean, priorities right?! Haha! They look simple enough, I might have to make a few pairs!
i need that coffee now! and when I come up, let’s have a DIY sleepover. haha
I am hoping to make it tomorrow. We can do whatever you like girl! Haha!
You can totally make those lanterns- one for either side of your bed?
Yes, that was what i was thinking with either my Happiness print or a print from my Maine vacation.
The personal theater cracked me up. I wonder how well that would work, haha!
I does kinda look fun. Haha!
Those lanterns are awesome!!!
I will remember the no Netflix in prison thing next week and repeat it to myself hourly! hahaha
They would look so cute in so many places. Yes, keep repeating it! 😉
The coffee looks amazing! I need more Butterscotch things in my life.
It is one of my favorite flavors!
I love that quote about taking care of yourself. It’s one of those things I have to constantly remind myself. Also, your funnies are AWESOME. I love that DIY as well! You go girl! xo
It is so important to remember, I know I have a hard time with it. Thank you so much!
Those lights are so cute! They would look great with your bench!
They have the same feel and I have plenty of stain left over!
Those memes are hilarious!!! Girl you and these DIY projects – I envy your creativity – seriously!!!
Thank you. I have been on a DIY binge lately.
Those quotes are hilarious and I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to make those wall sconces too!
Aren’t they so pretty. I am almost done with mine just need to screw on the hooks.
