Journey Jots #92
Hello, guys! How are ya?! It’s been over a month since we last chatted. We’ve gots lots to catch up on!
How is your fall season going? Have you done anything neat? Baked some tasty fall treats? Found anything neat at the thrift store?
I love hearing from you and learning what’s new in your world. Let me know in the comments!
Life Lately
Late last month, hubby took me to see Keith Urban…my favorite!! This was a late birthday present for me and it was SO good. I think this is our fifth or sixth Keith concert now and it’s safe to say that this was his best one yet. SO full of life, hope, and amazing guitar.
We’ve been enjoying the amazing fall weather.
Tilly has been loving going for walks in the woods…this trail is at a park near our house. Just look at those fall colors! Also, Tilly got a new raincoat (it’s SO adorable!) and now doesn’t mind walking in the rain!
And, the most important life update is that my sweet Tilly girl turns 7 this Friday! Yes, she was born on Halloween back in 2018.
Every year, we take a photo of her in our yard with pumpkins to commemorate this special, special day. Though, truly, she has no idea it’s even her birthday…she just gets excited when I give her a present and tell her to open her new toy!
I honestly cannot believe that she is already 7. These years with her have just flown by. Through all of the up’s and down’s that life has brought, Tilly has been our one constant. She brings pure joy, everlasting love, and so many laughs to our little family. I’m forever grateful that I get to be her mama. I love you so much, my sweet baby. Happy Birthday, Tilly!
Favorite Shopping Finds- Early Christmas Decor
- How adorable is this needle point Christmas pillow?!
- I’ve been loving the look of more rustic holiday decor and this wooden tree checks all the boxes.
- I’m obsessed with this set of velvet ornaments…they are the perfect neutral colors for my tree! I also love these vintage-inspired glass ornaments.
- Keep it easy with these velvet clip on bows. They have the dreamiest colors available!
- In keeping with the velvet theme, this brass bell garland would look so pretty draped across a mantel or shelf.
