Happy Monday friends !
It's been an eventful weekend, anytime the grandkids are over or I have photo sessions booked and wait.... college football game day is on t.v. life is what I call BUSY !
A few weeks ago I met my sister in Des Moines on Saturday for early dinner and shopping.
After dinner we made our way into Anthropologie and OMG it was already decked out in holiday decor.
This year I notice the store decor is filled with lots of pom poms and color.
I love it all.
I have wanted these initial mugs for awhile and when I saw them on the shelves I decided to grab 4.
You all know how much I enjoy my morning coffee right ?
Well, I'm a mixed bag over here on Simply Styling !
I'm laughing because as much as I love a good bargain these mugs were NOT on sale.
Nope, and I cringed and cringed but I caved in a purchased them
I'm super glad that I bought them because heck why not.
If it makes drinking my morning coffee even more delightful than before than great.
I have little set up next to my Keurig Coffee Maker.
I saw a marble cheese board at Home Goods and thought it would be super cute to display on my counter with my newest mugs.
I've always dreamed of having a home with marble counter tops, so this is a bit of a little fix !
While in the check out line at Home Goods the pretty gold tree was calling my name.
I figured adding a cute tree to the cheese board when make it even more festive.
The cute little lamp with touches of gold is a thrift store find for 3.99.
I have a Nespresso Machine that I picked up on Amazon on Prime Day.
It was almost half off the original price so I jumped on it.
I really enjoy a cup of the Nespresso caramelizio each morning as a treat.
The reason that I say "TREAT" is because if you ladies know these little pods are pricey.
But the coffee is really good !
I went into Starbucks a few days ago and asked to order a Gingerbread Latte !
I was informed that they decided to not bring back the drink that I loved.
I found this ground coffee at Target and knew that I could come up with my own latte, and sure enough I did.
This flavoured coffee is so good.
Friday night I had all four of our grandkids in the evening while their mom went to work.
Technically she wasn't suppose to return to work until Dec. 2nd however she needs the money so she decided to go back early.
To say it was smooth would be lying ! It was way more difficult than I had expected.
Baby Emiree is only 2 months old and is breast fed and so transitioning to the bottle has been challenging.
Her mom pumps and has given her bottles but not often and so sweet little miss Emiree had a difficult night.
Paige came and picked up Emiree around midnight.
I kept the three older ones overnight.
Waking up on Saturday morning to smiles !!!
I decided to get out a few holiday props and the kids got on my bed.
I figured since they were smiling and happy that I'd snap a few photos of them.
I always try getting the grandkids together on my bed with Santa hats on and garland around them and snapping lots of cute photos for their mama.
Such cuteness !!
We are so excited for turkey and mashed potatoes and ohhhh yes pumpkin pies this Thanksgiving !
Are you ?
Have a great day !
