Fancy Halloween Happiness

Happy Halloween!!!

I'm so excited to be home with my *sweet treat* today after a long night of parent teacher conferences. Once I got home I was ready to start decorating for our very 1st annual BOO Breakfast. 

While my sweet boy slept soundly, the farmhouse was filled with lots of pUmPkIn cHeEr.

I will be quite honest and say I was quite exhausted and ready to sleep soundly myself so nothing over the top this time just lots of fun festive flair.

I am a pUmPkIn lover and any reason to celebrate...I'm always in.

One Momma who inspires me so much is a sweet blogging friend Jessica. I have loved her blog for many years {way before Cole was even a thought} I loved that she celebrated every holiday with her littles and has such a kind and giving heart. She also inspired me with her one of a kind fabulous style. She is absolutely so kind, precious, and creative.

              {She even created the sweetest hat for Cole's 1st birthday. Such a sweet treasure.}

This week I pulled up to the mailbox and had a boo treat that was shipped to me. I had no idea who it was from. I opened it, and it was filled with the sweetest treasures. 

I LOVE HAPPY MAIL and SWEET surprises...who doesn't?!

The sweetest treats from the sweetest friend. I am so blessed. 

I'm telling you her heart is filled with gold glitter! She's seriously amazing. Thank you sweet Jessica.

She definitely put a huge smile on my face and warmed my heart more than she knows.

How precious are these? Boo Breakfast was so fun with the little touches. What made this so wonderful was that right when Cole woke up and saw the decorations he said, " So pretty Mommy" "Happy Birtnday Pumpkins"! His excitement warms my heart and makes me so thankful for this wonderful life and tiny special memories that I get to share with him.

In other BOO news Cole attempted to carve his first pumpkin this week with my Momma. He did not like the yucky stuff inside {he gets it from his Momma}

Our church also had Trunk  or Treat this week which was SOOO much fun. Cole has been puppy obsessed and I can't think of a cuter puppy.

Hope your Halloween is filled with lots of happy treats.

Fancy Little Birthday Weekend

After I busted out of school Friday afternoon the boys took me out to dinner to ring in turning *26* We went to my favorite little mexi restaurant that has the most delicious cheese dip and fish tacos. Mmmm

Jason HATES when girls wear their hair bands like this; but I think its precious so this was the {1} night he didn't say a word. Jason told me I was too pale to play Pochantas last Christmas so my SIL and I always play along with the trend whenever we get the chance because her Jason hates it too. {BOO}

{So basically any chance we get; we highlight our honest ability to be super glamourous} 

I can't wait to pick these beauties up this weekend on our way out of town! I'm absolutely in love with the embroidery and again Mr. Moon despises them BUT the birthday girls gets her way this time.

These were some of the birthday pretties I received last week. I swear working at an elementary school and having a birthday makes you feel like a total celebrity. I LOVE ALL the PINK!!!

My MIL is crazy texted me all day Friday little clues, hints, and riddles about what my gift was. I had NOOOO idea what it was and low and behold this little beauty is on it's way to me.

{The Micheal Kors cowhide cross body! I'm in LOVE!}

I am OUT of my mind excited. My SIL and I were shopping this summer and I fell in love with it. Unfortunately, I knew Mr. Moon would not be so thrilled to see another purse  come home with me so I passed. I secretly hoped Jase would realize how much I wanted it and he did. TOTAL SURPRISE! 

It's our office tradition to bring in birthday treats on someones birthday. I love this! My request was *girlie food* I love soups, dips, and little sandwiches. My favorite! I am truly blessed to work with the best. Not pictured are my three favorite desserts; eclair cake, homemade pumpkin pie, and counselor candy. 

Fancy Fall Favorites

It's no secret that I big pink puffy heart LOVE Fall. And you all know I also love me some clean spaces. After some major purging I have so enjoyed decorating with some true, simple, clean favorites. 

I have discovered that I LOVE white. White really seems so clean and it may be my favorite color to decorate with. I still love color {neutrals and glitter} and anything tacky fabulous. 

Some major fall favorites are this cute little cookie jar from WalMart that was less than $10 and my favorite candle that is layered with three yummy clean scents.

Pumpkin playdough is at the top of my favorites right now because Cole never enjoys sitting and this little activity has him mesmerized for minutes on end, it also smells so yummy too.

Pumpkin Play Dough

1 cup white flour

1/4 cup salt

2 teaspoons food coloring

1 cup water

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

2 tablespoons cream of tartar

sprinkles of cinnamon, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice or whatever your *fancy* heart desires.

1. Mix flour, salt, and cream of tartar in a medium pot.

2. Add water, food coloring, and oil.

Stir over medium heat for 3-5 minutes. Don't worry if the mixture looks like a blobby mess; it'll turn into dough...promise!

When the mixture forms a ball in the center of the pot, turn off the stove and let it cool. Then take it out of the pot and put it on a floured surface. Squish it and punch it around a bit.

When you're done, put it in a plastic bag or airtight container to store.

{This is the same recipe my Momma used when I was little}

I just love those little working hands.

I woke up this morning to some birthday presents  in bed and this mason jar measuring cup was at the top of my list. I have wanted this for a LONNNNG time. { This also proves that Mr. Moon does hear me...hehe}

How precious is this clutch?! The special service students at school have a precious little store and sell their merchandise in their classroom. I love the ruffles and burlap. It's definitely going to be a favorite for sure.

Today I am linking up with one of my favorites Ms. Andrea for some Friday favorites! Hope you have a fancy fabulous Friday.

Fancy Fall Festival

I'm a bit behind on blogging and have lots of fun projects to share. Our tiny town has the most precious little festival called the Apple Festival. It starts with a parade then everyone walks up town to see the booths and food.

Jason and I are both apple festival royalty {just 6 years apart} love my old man. : )) so it holds a special little place in my heart and honestly I think he could careless; but he might admit to enjoying some of it.

My friend Mal and I got to spend most of the day together which was so nice. It's so nice to be around a friend that you can just be. Even though we don't spend every second together she just gets ME...and loves me for ME. She's a breath of fresh air. I love that she and I are so different yet so alike. Our styles are very different but we both have a major soft spot for high quality handbags and luxurious jewls, and that's probably why we get along so well. We don't compete and have always had a very strong friendship. Like I said in my Matron of Honnor speech we will always be friends because we both know too much. 

We were at the nail salon 2 weeks ago and she refused to let me leave with pink glitter nails. Haha! Everyone needs a classy friend...Mallory is still looking for her's. ; )) 

So funny that Mal and Jase are always twinning and talking about cows and animal science. {You know things I can only pretend I know about}

We laughed and laughed and kept calling Jason, Cody from Sister Wives because he just carried our festival purchases.

This handsome hunny did enjoy the parade despite his silly face.
