Mom's 60th Birthday Celebration!

If you follow along with me, you know my Mom is a Halloween Baby, spooky fun! This year is a special one for her, she turns 60!!!!

She means so much to us we wanted to celebrate her so Dad and I started working on some ideas for a party, it was a lot of fun!

Just give me a credit card and I will go at it decorating!!

Here are some fun pics from the celebration:

If you know my Mom you know she loves the colder months, especially fall! She decorates her homes with warm colors and baskets filled with cozy blankets so that is the theme I went with, fall fun!

We used the Athens condo pool house, its a great space! The weather was ok, a little off and on rain, I had wanted to do a outdoors smore station, but weather had different ideas! My brother was really disappointed in that one :-)

On the coffee table I let out some yummy Publix cookies, my girls loved this! And fudge brownies which Hdawg liked!

With the help of my Dad I got some new décor from Party City and brought some of my own home décor to use. Notice the top left print, its Gigi's baby pics!!

Mom loves all kinds of sweet drinks just like me, so I put together a little hot cocoa bar!! Panera bread brought in some delicious hot chocolate and toping from syrup to marshmallows! This was my favorite!

Check out this huge cake from Publix!! We had tons left over, it was really good though!

We also ordered lunch from the Butt Hutt BBQ in Athens, boy it was delish!! My girls loved the macaroni and cheese the best!

Cumming Fair

Happy Friday peeps!! Anyone know where fall went?! Cause yesterday it was so nice and cool and today and got really cool and is pouring rain, that was not a fun commute!! But hopefully it will pass thru and bring a pretty weekend! I wanted to share our trip to the Cumming Fair! They come every October and its a lot of fun. Lots of rides and good food, and lots of people!

We always start with the merry go round, Daddy is ready!

Coco was too scared to ride the merry go round horses so we sat on the bench and still had a great time!

Watching the girls huge smiles as the rode around made our day!

Riding the caterpillar!!

Every year Taylor gets bigger and braver with rides!!

Bumble bee!!

Dumbo!!

Taylor and Nicole both did some fishing and won a price!!

They each picked a bubble wand!

And we all cooled down with a creamy vanilla ice cream cone, we had a great time!!



Halloween Front Porch

BOO Ya'll!!

Can you believe its almost the end of our Halloween House Tour?!

Thank you for touring with me, I hope it hasn't been too scary! Today I wanted to show your our front porch, its the spot that sees the most on Halloween night so I want to make it spooktacular!

Check out this new inflatable from Wayfair, its huge but lots of fun!! I thought it would be fun for the kids to go under walking up to the house!

This is my favorite part of the Halloween porch, the hanging banner and chandelier. The Trick or Treat banner came from Pottery Barn and chandelier from Target. We have had scary cat for a few years, he is from Walmart.

With some simple and cheap black electrical tape I tried to create a spider web! It was fun! Here is the pumpkin we got from Kinsey Family Farm.

I kept up my pretty brown and orange bows but added a scary snake around the pumpkin flowers!

Our really old friends Skully loves to sit on the front porch and rock back and forth...BOO!!

To help with all the spookiness at the house, Taylor helped me add some sweetness with pumpkin cinnamon rolls, yummy!

If you don't follow Jennifer at Memory Making Momma, stop right now and follow her, she is a jewel and full of great ideas! Here cinnamon rolls were much cuter but this is what we came up with. Taylor and I just got some canned rolls and dyed some cream cheese icing orange and added a green stem. Easy and fun! Isn't what what breakfast should be?!



Pumpkin Patch

Happy Monday friends!! How was your weekend? I hope it was good, I was lots of fun celebrating some family birthday's I can't wait to share with you. But first I wanted so share some pics from our trip to Kinsey Family Farm to pick out a pumpkin!!

Gotta dress the part right?! My cute Here for the Boos tee from Target is an oldie but goodie and looks even better with this little goblin in the pic!

So excited to be at the pumpkin patch, it was beautiful weather for it!

Ready to find a pumpkin!

Fall colors are the prettiest!!

Watch out now, Daddy is at the wagon wheel!

Check out Coco's face!!

Kinsey Family Farm is also a Christmas Tree Farm, notice them in the background?!

We were so excited to take a tractor ride around the farm!!

Ready to ride!!

Looking so pretty XOXOXO

A day at the farm!!

I called this the sitting dead :-)

Nicole's favorite treat...popcorn of course!!

And Mommy's favorite treat, the apple cinnamon bread and donuts. Ya'll this is like a fall explosion in your mouth, its delish! I even gifted Taylor's teachers with some donuts and got rave reviews!!!

Happy Fall!



Halloween buffet and mantle

Hello goblins!! Thanks for stopping by today, I wanted to share my dining room buffet and den mantle all spooked up!! Lets take a look...if you dare!

This is always a fun spot to decorate since I usually put up lots of seasons pics of the girls, its a great place to look back!

I get these cute frames from Personalization Mall every year and put their Halloween pic in it!

This scary black cat came from Aunt Judy and my other items came from Walmart.

This Target wreath has been one of my favorites for years. I did get this new Lakeside Collection sign, I love it and its pretty tall!

Moving into our den our mantel got a scare!! I have had these BOO letters for a few years now, they came from Joanne's and I still love them!

Another spooky cat in the house, this time its a shiny purple one! The pumpkins came from Walmart.

I used my fall candle again using the orange ribbon and added it about the fireplace. The Happy Halloween sign was another Walmart find.

This scary witch came from Aunt July, eek!! The BOO chalkboard came from Walmart.

This pumpkin wreath with witch legs came from Walmart too and I added some orange lights inside the fireplace.

Its not the pretest but I added a little something on top of out black Direct TV box, this Beware sign and Bulldog football Amy gave me like 10 years ago!!

Have a spooktacular day!
