I Love This Time of Year!


Hello Friends and happy Monday. I'm definitely not feeling the need to be at work today and would have much rather stayed in bed today. I hope you all had a great weekend because I sure did.

Friday night Brooklynn and I just went home, got in our pajamas and did nothing and it was wonderful. Last week some of my friends and I planned on having a fire on Saturday night so that is exactly what we did.  I cleaned up the fire pit and got it ready. I bought supplies for smores. Billy brought the fire wood and the night began. I really enjoy this time of year and sitting around a fire with the people who matter most in my life. Brooklynn was so excited and loving every minute of it. She roasted marsh mellows and chased after all of my friends. When you're at my house...you're family. Brooklynn loves all my friends just as much as I do and we both enjoyed having all our friends and family over. Here are a few pics of the first fire of many this season.

My Friends Aint Flashy


It's been a while since I have blogged so I must do it! I should have done it over the rainy weekend but I enjoyed being lazy oh so much. Nothing beats a rainy weekend at home getting the house clean and putting a dent in your couch.

Friday evening my Mom took B to Meridian to stay with her Mimi for the weekend and I was so glad I didn't have to make that drive when I got off work. Since B was gone and I was baby free that means of course that my friends would be coming over. See what I love about my friends is that they are just as happy as me to sit on a porch and just enjoy each others fellowship. I have a big table on my front porch and we all crowd around it to complain, rejoice, laugh, stress, love and even cry. It's so nice to have friends who are not flashy and who do not have to be impressed. A bottle of wine, a few beers, some good music and lots of laughs is what our Friday night consisted of and I wouldn't have wanted to be anywhere else in the world than on my front porch and around that table with my friends.

I'm a person who loves SIMPLE things and my friends are just that... simple.


Favorite wine glass ever!


Love my Stephy
