HAPPY NEW WEEK & HAPPY MONDAY! I can’t believe it’s already almost Halloween. I love what my neighborhood looks like right now. π
Wanna see what’s in my front yard? Here it is here and here. P.S. While you’re there, that’s my TikTok account, so you can follow me there too.
THREE THINGS:
1.) I repotted one of my favorite plants yesterday. I bought one rooted leaf back in 2021 and she has taken off into a full fledged plant, however I’ve had to cut off a few sections, and root them to have a fuller look in its pot. It’s a Monstera and they grow in one long vine so I needed to improvise to get that “bushy” feel. LOL! These things get HUGE!!!
2.) I didn’t put up the frames yet, but I got a bunch of other fun stuff around the house done, so I’m happy. Frames will be this weekend.
3.) We spent the day on Anna Maria Island fishing on the pier. Well, the boys were fishing. I was reading. π P.S. I finished 3 books and have 3 book reviews coming. YAY READING!!! π

Fun yard decorations! I canβt wait to read your reviews. π Sounds like my kind of fishing trip. π
1. We went to a haunted village over the weekend with the younger kids. It was decorated so cute and the trees were gorgeous. They had story telling and a very mild spooky forest/house, balloon art, creepy bug critters, fortune tellers and more. They really loved it. My oldest went to a big amusement park for thrills with a group.
2. I signed up for an online monster drawing art class for the week so my hubs and the boys have been working at that the last couple days. Different experience for spooky season.
3. Birthday dinner for my oldest yesterday and busy week ahead- including DC trip! I hope to finish a book or 2 in the meantime.
That reminds me! Tomorrow is time for A Curse for True Love!! I have been waiting for this one. π Also, might have to get Britney Spears. I donβt know how much Iβll believe, but she was so huge in my time. I want to know all the juicy details.
I LOVE all the fun activities you do every week & weekend. So many things to experience and learn, and all the types of things I’d totally do.
I ended up getting some special acrylic paint markers and canvas pads, and even a goofy (but cute) diamond painting kit so that I can entertain my creative side (or just enjoy the quiet of placing all of these pretty colors in place).
Yeah… I’m def. getting the Britney Spears one. She’s full blast out there right now, so I’m curious what she’ll divulge, and I’m an autobiography addict!!
Thanks, I love them too! Curiously, the more stressed and busy we are, the more projects I seem to pile on? π I have seen the Diamond painting kits! I also think Iβd like to do something different for me- like, maybe Iβll crochet a cute little animal or maybe Iβll learn some new fun skill- and then I talk myself out of it. Maybe someday.
Lol, I just remembered a few weeks ago, my Mom came over for a few and walked into the kitchen table covered in paints and what not- 2 of my guys working on a thrifted spooky painting and said how fun our house must be, we were always crafting something. And my husband said with the most serious face, every. single. day. It certainly has been that way this fall, but thatβs because it takes so long to finish something! And then I, of course, have to finish lots of somethingβs and then a kid has an idea or wants in on mine and this madness ensues.
I LOVE that!!!
I’m dying to start refinishing furniture. I’ve always had that bug since I’ve been young and my mom would find paint loaded antiques and strip them down to their natural wood, and refinish them.
It was always so much fun to watch (and “help”) her, and then I started a makeup vanity when I was in college. And it was coming along so nicely, but I was too busy, that I didn’t complete it, and ended up giving it away.
Now though… I want to so badly. I don’t really have the room to do so safely though. :/
