on wednesday, baby boy sat on ALL the pumpkins, and fall was almost here!
lawdy, it’s been a season! and i maybe don’t really even know if i’m talking about this past summer, this past year, or this past decade, but pour me somethin’ strong and infuse the air with something cinnamony, i say!!! i’m in the market for some pretty, white, faux pumpkins this year for craft and decor purposes. i’ve already got my ceramic pumpkins out on the dining room table, and it’s not eeeven october!!! full speed ahead! [except, let’s pump those breaks before daylight savings because my insides will die, and i’m just not prepped for that.]
anyway!!!! i’m gonna go ahead and admit that i spent a good amount of time a few nights ago watching a really low quality video of a guy with long hair describing proper care of venus flytraps on youtube. did you ever have one of those as a kid?! so crazy! so… now that we’re out in the open about that… [—> ME.]
i can’t EVEN with this: luda rapping llama llama. i’ve only dreamed of a personal luda interlude in my own life. this comes close? i might add that maddalena *hates* llama llama red pajama because his mother insists that he stay in his own bed while she goes elsewhere [ahem… to the kitchen]. attachment disorders run hard around here. haha. but seriously, i can’t stop replaying this!!
fav leggings but with added beauty and on sale… love! need!
does anybody own a tuft & needle mattress?! we’re going to be in the market for a new king sized mattress soon, so we’ve been researching. our current mattress is just no good at this point, since after just a few years it created these huge permanent indentions where we sleep! it’s seriously like we sleep in individual mattress ditches every night! we looove having a king size, though!
mayyybe using this for reference from here on out… [like i need more growing green things!] some of jojo’s fav plants.
i’ve gotten this wine book for both my sissy and my daddy, and it’s seriously the cutest!
current status: teaching rocco how to eat a corndog, sipping my third cup of joe – even though last night i totally decided i’ll stick to one cup every morning. woops. forgot? aaaand my la la land soundtrack on spotify has now wandered off to become some kind of lovely showtune/jazz mix and it’s putting me in the mood for… i don’t know! something! some kind of fall fulfillment. like… getting coffee out in public! or perhaps a nice sweater purchase! soon, a stroll through cheekwood! oooh, an evening with a blanket and book sounds picturesque, doesn’t it? or all else fails, a when harry met sally viewing! [because after 15 years of regular viewings, it still never gets old to me!!!]
and sooo… HAPPY FALL!!
Oh my goodness since school started I am up to like I don’t know… 6 cups a day? It’s delicious and I know I shouldn’t but hello I can’t wine before they get off the bus right? Oh fall! It’s 80 something degrees today but hey! It’s here! And a big cheers to when harry met sally! YES.
i mean… you don’t have to drive anywhere to get them, right? so……. 😉 hehe. #enabler
I’ve had my pumpkin decor out for a couple weeks already! ? Haha. I want to hear about this mattress if you give it a go! I’m in the market but am so up in the air about what to try! And some are sooooo expensive!
And now that you’ve mentioned WHMS I’ve got to watch it this weekend. Well, that and the new fall hallmark channel movies!
ahhh i am loving hallmark these days!!! have you watched chesapeake shores?! i love it!!!
So…the venus fly trap late-night youtubing sesh? Totally guilty of similar forays (“why am I not sleeping?!!?!?!? WHY?!?!?!” is a question I ask myself frequently between the hours of 11 pm and 3 am.
Also, re: the mattress sitch: I decided to go out on a limb with this mattress brand I heard about from Consumer Reports and also from a friend who swore up and down by it, and then confirmed its magical powers through the 60+ people who have stayed at my beach house this year. I say ‘go out on a limb’ because when I saw the price on Amazon, I was like, “uh, what am I, some kind of cheap monster?” but I knew I could return it if it turned out to be awful, so I gave it a shot, and basically EVERY SINGLE person who stays in that room in our beach house comments on how wonderfully heavenly the mattress is. It is genuinely the most amazing mattress, so much so that my husband and I shirk our king bed with a different mattress just to sleep in that one (we paid way more for our king mattress so we thought we should just stick it out, but we recently decided to just sell our king mattress (sounds creepy, but it has always been covered with a mattress thick mattress cover and pad, and there are many people who just need a bed who are not too proud to buy it used) and get the king size one for our room. Anyways, here is the link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00GTCL3JA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1
So, there’s some totally random info for you, but I just thought I would help a sista out (although I would feel awful if you hated the mattress…)!
wow, thank you so much for sharing that!!! looks like that mattress has fantastic reviews! and you seriously cannot beat that price, either! my only hesitation there would be that i have never liked sleeping on memory foam… although, after sleeping in a mattress ditch for a few years, i may have had a perspective change, haha!!
I totally get that! I did not like memory foam pillows or toppers until this mattress converted me. And my understanding is that Tuft and Needle is very similar to memory foam (they just *say* their product is not memory foam or latex) because it is still a foam product, which my engineer husband says are basically all the same. But with how much time we spend sleeping (why? Can’ they just develop a pill that let’s you skip sleep? C’mon, science!), I understand the dilemma! <3
