At Attention!

I really wish it would hurry up and get cold, so I can wear my new coat!

{Old Navy Cadet Jacket}

I wish I had found these earlier in the summer. Who knows?..Maybe I'm like the last person on earth to know about these things. I thought they were treats you could only get at Auburn football games. In fact, I had one at the game last Saturday. It was a whopping $4. Kroger had these for $1. They have strawberry lemonade, too!

Save cents on your scents

I have been in search of a new home fragrance. Spray air fresheners are too temporary. Every candle that I find either doesn't provide much of a smell or are super duper expensive. I've tried other plug in scented oils, (like the Wal-Mart brand in Fresh Cotton--ewww!) but never has one worked or smelled so good as the Air Wick Hidden Pleasures. I tried the 'Calming Magnolia and Cherry Blossom'. I never in a million years thought I'd enjoy any scent that included magnolia, but this one does not disappoint. It is not a strong or heavy perfume. It is a light, sweet and fresh smell. At around $5, I'd say it's a deal!

This mustard is a must!

Monday I stopped at a local kitchen store that is going out of business. I came across this mustard. I know you're thinking "Mustard?"....I was surrounded by Le Creuset and high-end kitchen gadgets..and I found my self buying mustard.
Honestly, even at sale prices the $149 saucier was out of my league. Well since we're being completely honest, I saw a 50% off sign and made a beeline for it. I found a wall of little gourmet cookies, cocoa mixes, marinades and this little jar of Champagne Shallot Mustard. It was only $3!
I tried it today. Y'all....it takes my turkey sandwiches to a whole new level. It's a little bit sweet and a little bit spicy. It's muy bueno! Try it yourself. You'll thank me :)

Oui Oui!

I would LOVE this cookbook, even more so with this CD.

My (current) favorite Williams-Sonoma item is this little beauty. It will definitely be on my Christmas list!

Product Review

Taking a quick second away from studying to share a little info! I know people normally do posts of their "favorite things" or reviews of products they swear by. But this time, I thought I'd keep it real and let you know about a product (I think) you should avoid.
I like trying new cleaners. I guess I'm constantly on a quest for something that you just spray and it cleans itself. (I know I know....)
For those of you who like to clean, more power to you. I usually try to find the easy way out.
I tried this new "Scrub Free" product from Arm & Hammer. I was sadly disappointed. First off, there is no foaming action. Second, the scent is far from a clean and refreshing one. Lastly, it is in no way, shape or form scrub free.
I saw a commercial for a new Kaboom product that I'm a little skeptical of, but I would still like to try it. If anybody has tested this one out, please offer up a review!

Hunny Bunny is a little Hottie!

So I was stalking perusing Alli's photos on facebook when I came across this...
Dear Hunny Bunny,
You look absolutely adorable in this picture! I love your hair, and I love YOU! Please come visit soon. It's been tooooo long.
Love,

Our Yard Sale Adventure Trip

Better late than never. It's taken me a while to get a post started on my yard sale trip. Here goes...
Thursday we drove to
This was our ride. Yes, all 5 of us rode in one truck from Alabama to Kentucky and back. My knees became well acquainted with the dash.

Our first big stop was at a Barn Sale on top of Signal Mountain. It was literally a sale inside a barn full of horses, chickens, ducks, pigs, etc.
The next day we headed North again. Most of the sales were clustered together in large flea-market-style setups. We would drive miles between them over hills and around curves. Up and down the mountains. I think this was one of the prettiest spots. It was an old general store situated next to a stream.
We saw a slimy slithery snake in the stream beside the store. That was enough for me. I went back to the car. On the way back I encountered another scaaaary creature.
We continued our way on into Kentucky. There were tobacco fields everywhere!
There was one rolling hill after another.
My Dad had to look at every tractor from here to Kentucky.
We weren't as enthused about them.
And PawPaw wasn't too happy that his bread didn't survive the trip.
On Saturday we (Mom, Dad, Ryan, Jamey & me) headed back toward home, while the rest of the gang (Aunt Teresa, Uncle Jim & PawPaw) drove further north into Ohio.
On the way home we drove through 'Amish country' in Liberty, Kentucky. I felt a little bad about taking their pictures. I was hoping they weren't offended by it.
We only made a few more stops before making a beeline toward home. It was fun to experience it once in life. But I think I've seen enough yard sales to last me quite a while!

My Latest Obsession:: Nailhead Trim

If I were a kid, I'd shop at PBK

I know this is totally random, but I saw these adorable items on Pottery Barn Kids and had to share.

These colorful sheets with owls make me smile.
I just wish they made them for King size beds!

I love these storage baskets with mini chalkboard labels!

This lazy susan has buckets in a rainbow of cute colors. I love it!

As if this chair couldn't get any cuter, it can be monogrammed!
