Wednesday Top 10



1.
JCrew Classic Pave Link Bracelet
Yes I might be totally crazy for wanting a piece of fine jewelry for $125
** cough... Jordan... cough.... anniversary gift... cough cough***
I bet there are coupon codes out there on Google ;0)
Classic pavé link bracelet

My question though is would any of ya'll want that or just settle for something similar but way
less expensive like below?? Then there is the aching thought ... all of my jewelry I own is $20 or less, wouldn't it be nice to have a really nice piece of jewelry?
*Of course I have like maybe 3 things that classify as "real stuff", however I hardly wear them*

2.
Skinny Pumpkin Spice Frappe
*A 45 or 70 calorie version, with or without coffee.... yes please!*




via

I will be trying out the recipe this week and I'll let ya'll know how it tastes :0)
Here are other recipes as well
here here or here






3.
State Fair
I love the smell of fair food with the crisp cool fall air.
It also marks a special occasion between the hubs and I. We had our first date at the fair :0)
Am I the only one who loves those free biscuits with honey? Yummy!
The Mississippi State Fair starts today (it's always best to go within the 1st week)

4.
Necklaces
obviously since I can barely fit into real clothes and I refuse to buy maternity....
 jewelry, purses, shoes and socks seem to be my only market.

Colorful Chunky Bead Necklace-Choose One- NOW in SIlver too
via

Mini Flower Charm Necklace- 14K Gold filled chain
via


*Only a few will know and appreciate this one below*
Jordan, I saw this and thought you would laugh if I had this :0)


via

Caramelo Necklace
via or ebay

I actually really like this one but it's easily $50 on ebay, so I thought about DIY.
Target sells the sparkle bead, I am sure I can find similar stones at Michael's, however I would have extra beads so I could make extra necklaces and just sell them??
I dunno... I am a little lazier than normal right now ;0)






5.
Boots
My camel colored flat boots are wearing out on me, like they might not make it to December.
So I am on the hunt for some camel colored boots.

The only type of boots I can buy are the zip up kind, due to my huge monstrosity bear dancer calves.
So that narrows down the playing field

These Old Navy ones look kinda cheap though

I think I like these the best

6.
Once Upon A Time
a tv marathon with the DVD collection obviously

LOVE.THAT.SHOW.PERIOD.





7.
Lifeproof iPhone Case
Pricey but needed, Brett reached up on the counter the other night and grabbed my phone then proceeded to run from me while I chased after him then tossed it to the ground. I think it is a worthy investment.
*It's cheaper on ebay btw*

8.
Spark
and lots of it

AdvoCare Spark® Energy Drink
We LIVE on this stuff

If you want some clean energy & mental focus go here and get some!
We put our coffee pot away the 1st week we tried it.

*Canister is more bang for the buck btw*

If you have any questions about it, please ask me :0)




9.
A trip to IKEA
well since Greece, Rome, Paris are out of the equation right now

I need to get some stuff for the kids like before I have this baby!




10.
Davidoff Echo Purfume
A couple of years ago they discontinued this purfume (which is my all time favorite btw) and every time I would see a purfume store I would ask if they had any left and alas... "No" was the answer every time.
Well apparently I didn't really even think about Amazon or Ebay having it until today.
I can get the big bottle 3.4fl oz for $36, whoop whoop!
*Jordan I would like to add this as a contender for my anniversary gift as well*

Oh we are having pictures done this coming Sunday, whoo hoo.
I am sooooo ready to replace the photos I have of Mallie (when she was 2) and Brett
(when he was like 3-4 months old)... yea I haven't been keeping up with that very well.
Life is so busy you have to force things like this to happen or one day the kids will be teens and I won't have any pictures of them growing up except my iPhone pictures. Blah... guilt...... blah.



Hey it's Wednesday peeps that means we have officially made it halfway through the work week!

Thank the Lord!!

Orange Beach

Thursday

We woke up and this was our view


Grandma Libbie surprised us by coming!


Waiting for breakfast by chef Tony


Heading to the Beach!



Both kids LOVED playing in the sand



I don't think they have ever been this content/quiet while playing ..... ever


Me and the hubbs


After all that work to get out to the beach, Brett only lasted maybe 2-3 hours before he got really
tuckered out/cranky. Jordan and I decided it wasn't worth the hassle to go again.

 (It literally took an army and boat load of stuff to even get out to the beach then to turn around and pack it back up and try to rinse them off.... I probably burned 5,000 calories)

That evening when the kids went to bed, Jordan tried out the indoor heated swimming pool


He said he slept like a baby after swimming in it



Friday
Breakfast snack and Mimi's birthday!


What better way to celebrate Mimi's birthday than with a Shopping day!


Both kids did extremely well considering how long we were there for.


Both of them fell asleep like this, but I only got Brett's picture


They played on the playground then daddy treated them to a carousel ride!


They both loved it

Best Outlet Mall seriously


Unfortunately , shortly after we left and were heading back to the condo, Mallie threw up in the car.
Fun times


Saturday
Little man woke up early (6am) so it was just me and him enjoying the sunrise :0)


Mallie went back to the beach with her grandparents.
 Jordan, Brett and I went back to the outlet mall.

Brett chillin next to this groovy car :0)

We headed back home at 3pm.

We ate at the condo (thanks to chef Tony) the whole time and just relaxed for the most part.

Jordan posted on FB
"Vacation with kids is not vacation...
It's stress in a peaceful looking environment."

True words honey
