Gobble till you wobble!

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with Brett Parents and my mom and Grandma. The menu was both traditional and quirky, I made a Turkey (delish!), Ham, Potatoes, steamed Asparagus (Yummm!!!), Rolls, Banana pudding, pumpkin pie, and Brett's mom brought her fabulous dressing and a sweet potato dish, and his dad a crawfish corn chowder, and my mom brought a Pumpkin cheesecake. We got to use our dining room, and everything was just perfect ♥ 

Turkey Day outfits from Etsy

I know my kiddos are definitely about past the age of matching outfits, but I can't help it, they look so darn cute when they are coordinated. Baylor's outfit was easy, I Love the fun print and the pink pop, but this year I had to look a little harder to find something not too "kiddish" for Grier, and since he hates being dressed-up, this tee with a tie was perfect!

Twist & Curl

Lately I've been obsessed with these great braid and twist hair pics I've been finding on Pinterest, so I tried one out, and it didn't look half bad, if I do say so myself :)

Tre Fratellis

I am not a fish eater. I love shrimp, lobster, crawfish, just no fish. However.... a few years ago we were eating at Tre Fratelli's, a quaint little hole-in-the wall restaurant, charming downtown Pensacola along with several other great spots like Hub Stacey's and Darma Blues, and the hubby ordered this fish pasta, which came out smelling and looking amazing! Against my norm, I gave in and tried a bite....DELICIOUS! I've since been hooked, this Grouper is just divine, and it's the only thing I ever order, not to mention the only place I'll order fish at.  

Charming old Downtown Pensacola building...perfect for sitting outside on a lovely day!

MMmmmmm, fresh pan-seared Grouper on a bed of Penne Pasta, with delicious herb and citrus flavor.....wish I had some now!

And being an Italian Restaurant, the kiddos always veg out on delectable pizza :) 

Stripes & Heart Mani

Just enjoying our time off for Thanksgiving, and saw this great idea on Pinterest. So Miss and B now have matching manis :)

p.s. this (Seche Vite Fast Dry Top Coat) is the best stuff ever, came across it on multiple nail blogs and tried it....I'm hooked forever!

We're just relaxing from all the hustle and bustle in the kitchen today, no Black Friday shopping here....did you battle the crazy lines for some good deals today??

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope you have a blessed Thanksgiving Day! I've been so blessed this year, and am so grateful to have such a loving family here to celebrate this day with.

Home Tour: Back Porch

Welcome to our back porch, probably one of my favorite places in our home. One of the things we really wanted on our new home is a covered porch, and I'm so glad we stuck to that. This is a great area to sit and watch the kids play, or, my favorite, watch the sun set behind the trees that are part of a nature conservatory behind our house. SInce we haven't put a fence up around the yard yet, we have a small part of the porch we put up a gate for the dogs, and they like to sit outside and watch all the birds and squirrels.



Girls Holiday Looks

I was doing a little online shopping this weekend, and these holiday looks from GAP kids were too cute not to share. Sequins are a staple in Little Miss B's wardrobe right now, if she doesn't have some piece on that adds some sparkle, then she's not fully dressed, lol ;)

Sequins are a Hoot! - With some opaque black tights, this would be adorable!



Dare to be Darling, so pretty & girlie, tres' chic!

Waxing Poetic

I came across this jewelry by Waxing Poetic a couple months ago, at a boutique in Alabama, and love all the vintage-looking stamped and monogrammed pieces, perfect for layering. They also do a really nice job of combining sterling silver and yellow gold.

 

Looking online, it  looks like they've actually got a boutique in Santa Barbara, CA

This will definitely be a stop, next time I'm visiting family in California
