dress: lularoe, shoes: DSW, necklace: old (smilar) watch: Michael Kors (similar) Watching: DWTS, Teen Mom, Survivor, oh and we watch The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh minimum once a day.

Listening to: Pandora 80’s Pop, probably one of my favorite stations. Thinking about: Too many things, to-do lists and such.

a condensed version of my weekend

I’m pretty sure all Arizonans were pleasantly surprised to experience the first day of fall with the rest of the country in true form… with a high of 88. It’s not something we say a lot this time of year in Phoenix, I mean -it doesn’t really start to cool off till late October.

As I was editing these pictures I couldn’t help but feel a bit embarrassed at all the sugar and sweets I had! It’s obvious I love ice cream -specifically chocolate ice cream- and apparently I just can’t get enough!

But we live in Arizona so that’s-just-how-it-goes! This week Hazel and I have been making some fun fall (and Halloween) treats, she really seems to be enjoying these baking and making sessions -maybe we have a cook on our hands?! Anyways, here are some of the things we are going to be making in the next couple weeks: Obviously dirt pudding cups, I made… Read More
