Happy Halloween! i can't believe that tomorrow is November! i am so excited that time is flying by! i can't wait for the holidays to arrive! Thanksgiving Dinner is my favorite!! And of course Christmas is just so exciting!

  17. Decorate my mantle for Fall
  18. Buy some Fall scents for our home
  19. Rock a fabulous Fall outfit

This past week i was able to get 5 things done from the list! Yes...5! I was able to get done with number's 6, 9, 11, 18, and 19. 

Here we go with picture proof:

Here is my idea of #6: Pumpkin Patch. I know that it wasn't the greatest pumpkin patch but here is where i bought our pumpkins! They were cheap too! i loved all the bright colors and i loved all the pumpkin choices! Goodbye to #6. Pumpkin Patch




Last weekend we got to go to a Murder Mystery Party and i got to cross off #9. Halloween Party! We had a great time! i snagged some pictures from one of the other girls at the party for proof! Scratch off #9. Halloween Party .

Hubby and i quickly carved our pumpkins (completing #11. Decorate/Carve pumpkins) last night so they'd be ready for trick or treaters today! We didn't have the "proper" tools to carve but made do with what we had! So bye-bye #11. Decorate/Carve pumpkins.


Buying scents for our home is one of favorite way to prepare for the holidays! #18. Buy some Fall scents for our home is one of my "must-dos" on the Bucket List! i love our home smelling like Fall when i walk in! There is something about smelling yumminess and seeing decor that make the holidays! Yay for #18. Buy some Fall scents for our home  getting done! 

Last but not least...#19. Rock a fabulous Fall outfit! i love dressing for the holidays! i love Fall clothes! those two together makes it fun to dress!!! i couldn't decide between two outfits last week so i had to put both!



i discovered these pants in my closet a few weeks ago...i forgot i had bought them! my new favorite! The orange sweater is one i don't wear too often but am not loving it for Fall! The yellow cardigan was actually my momma's when she was young! i love how old it is (not trying to say anything bad) but it is missing buttons and all and i love how meaningful it is! i'm so glad i found it and didn't let it go! i will wear this sweater a lot - it is also one of my favorites! So...if i may say so myself i think i conquered #19. Rock a fabulous Fall outfit

So, that's all folks! 

i didn't get around to painting my painting my nails yet, but as promised i will reveal the winning color!

Number 4 was the winner last week! i will be sporting this color by next Wednesday! Hubby was the tie-breaker since it was a tie between 2 and 4...and i have to go with what he likes sometimes! i found this color randomly while shopping for Fall decor! It was a very random, but exciting find! Essie nail polish for $3? i'll take it!!!

So here's my updated list:
  1. Hay-Ride
  2. Play in a leaf pile
  3. S'mores Bonfire
  4. Caramel Apples
  5. Corn Maze
  6. Pumpkin Patch
  7. Fall Picnic
  8. Make a batch of Fall cookies/goodies
  9. Halloween Party
  10. Bake a pie
  11. Decorate/Carve pumpkins
  12. Host a Thanksgiving Dinner Party
  13. Go to Disneyland - Fall Disney Themed
  14. Drink fancy "fall" coffee drink
  15. Paint my nails Fall colors
  16. Go to a Football Game
  17. Decorate my mantle for Fall
  18. Buy some Fall scents for our home
  19. Rock a fabulous Fall outfit
  20. Treat my student/s advisees to something special for the holidays

Until next time...ta ta for now!

  1. Hi, I came across your blog and I think your blog name is very meaningful (albeit a tad long :))

    I really enjoyed reading this post of yours, complete with beautiful pictures! Wanted to share that I’ve just completed an iPhone app (adream) where people can share their dreams and goals in a fun way. It’s my little dream to help others achieve theirs in this small way.. Let me know if it helps you :)

    Best, Ray
