Mindless Monday...

Fall was definitely in the air this morning! Heading to work and it not being 80 degrees felt amazing...it was actually right below 70. Fall in Atlanta is one of my favorite times of year but I realistically I know we have a few more weeks of the temperatures in the 90's!


I can dream though...

Snack Attack-Homemade Potato Chips & Advocado Ranch Dip

For those who know me know my obsession with ranch dressing and potato chips. I stumbled upon this recipe and will be making it once my kitchen is finished (which should be next week).

Loves: Raina Tote

I love bags of all shapes and sizes! I have cleaned out my stash so I need to replenish my collection. I did order a k.slademade ikat clutch this week. I wrote this post a couple weeks back when I found her Etsy shop.

Well, last week thanks to the blog world again I came across Raina Tote and Shopping  Bag. Lindsay over at From the Aisle to Aloha featured the bag in one of her round ups. The 2 best things about it are the adjustable straps and it's washable...plus it is only $39!

Have you seen any great bags out there recently?

Kitchen Inspiration

We are in full kitchen remodel mode and hope to be complete in about 4 weeks. We have been in the planning in the design phase for the past couple months so by now we have a pretty good idea what we will end up with. 

These are some of the images that inspired us...

I am getting a chalkboard wall! You know I have an obsession with them!

I will try to get some of the construction pictures up but will be sharing the finish product!

Mindless Monday...My Birthday Weekend

I know I was mia last week but between work and getting ready for our kitchen demo, which is starting right now, I have been a little preoccupied. I did however take my birthday off on Friday and spent the day shopping, lunch with the hubby, a massage and then some pool action.

I had a wonderful 29th birthday weekend and here it is in a nut shell...

We kicked it off Thursday night at the Rascal Flatts concert...it was a nice surprise I got on Thursday morning!

I got a little snuggle time with my buddy on Friday morning!

Enjoying the pool after some shopping!

Amazing dinner at Woodfire Grill (Kevin Gillespie from Top Chef is the owner)! I loved the personalized menu! We went with the 5-course tasting which was a great experience!

A little hot chocolate and danish from Corner Cafe after church on Sunday!

Demo starts today so we had to empty out the kitchen this weekend. I will have more on the kitchen renovation later but there is a before shot!

Hope you had a fabulous weekend too!

What was the highlight?
