Happy Monday!
I have a random bag of thoughts for your Monday…
*If you follow me on Instagram, then you might have noticed I dusted the cobwebs off my profile and have been cleaning things up and actually posting consistently. In the past, Instagram was always the first to go when life got busy, but I actually found myself that first week kids went back to school with {dare I say it} extra time on my hands?! I started digging into how to update my Instagram and voila! Here we are!
If you don’t follow me, I’d love for you to join! You can find me right here!
I’m sharing family life, game day fashion, fall outfits, holiday decor and so much more! I hope you’ll join me! I’ve had a cold for like two weeks so if you listen to my videos and think, “She sounds nasally”, it’s because I am! ha! I just started meds for a sinus infection because #itsbeentwoweeks!
*************************
*Another thing I’m doing is sharing those same finds over on the LTK app. I know my mom reading this is confused about what LTK is so I’m going to explain to her and should you be feeling the same way, I hope this helps. LTK is basically a shopping platform where you can follow your favorite “creators” {I’m using that in quotations because I don’t think of myself that way but just someone who’s sharing/recommending.}. You’ll see all kinds of recommendations from the people you follow and can shop directly from that app. You click on a shirt and it’ll take you directly to the site where you can purchase. You find me on LTK. This app happens to be one of my favorite places to find ideas for gifts every holiday season!
*************************
*I shared some of my FAVORITE things to use to decorate for Game Day! You can see all my faves right here. I re-use most of these items every year for multiple events and then pack them away until next football or even baseball season.
This is how I used these goodies in my house…
This slow cooker isn’t decor BUT it’ll make you feel like Super Woman if you have dinner ready early!

*Our menu this week…
Monday-Chicken & Rice with green beans. It’s an oldie but goodie!
Tuesday-TACO TUESDAY…I usually make several pounds of extra taco meat anytime we have tacos for lunches/leftovers.
Wednesday-Those leftovers I mentioned above will be used on Wednesday. 1/2 of us have plans on Wednesday so the other half at home can have a leftover taco or taco bowl.
Thursday-Shay’s Beer Cheese Sloppy Joe’s with a veggie + sweet potato fries.
Friday-we’ll eat out before the football game.
What do you guys have on your menu this week?! I’m anxiously awaiting a cool day so I can make my first batch of chili for the season!
*************************
These Isle of Paradise Face Self-Tanning Drops are the best sunless tanner for your face! I just re-ordered another bottle from Amazon. My summer glow has faded and it’s time for a little help by my sunless tanner friends. 😉
*************************
College Gameday is one of my FAVORITE things about the fall! According to your messages, I think lots of you are fans too! Anyway, I looked at my calendar this weekend and whoever schedules Britt’s softball games must have assumed that none of the parents on her team enjoyed sipping our coffee while we watched College Gameday on Saturday mornings. I kid. She’s off next Saturday so you better believe I’ll be sitting on my couch with coffee in hand waiting for this to start at 8:00 a.m.!
*********************
Speaking of football, my Instagram algorithm must have me figured out because it suggested this candle for me…
it just arrived over the weekend and dare I say that it truly smells like GAME DAY?! I got sucked right into the website and ordered a couple candles. I can’t wait to try Cozy Sweater. Somehow they seem to have nailed that scent as well.
*********************
Walking, walking, walking…isn’t that what we’re all doing these days?! I need another Scamanda Podcast to be released ASAP! Have you listened to any really great podcasts lately?!
*************************
Okay, and NOW, I think you’re all caught up with my life. 🙂
Hope you guys have a great Monday!

If you liked Scamanda, you will love the podcast Unicorn Girl. HOLY COW- Scamanda on steroids. Just as engaging and weird and crazy. Highly suggest.
Thank you, Kelly!! I’m gonna start today!
lol. My oldest and her fiance were able to see Game Day in person at the Vols game last Saturday against Georgia. They loved it!! (Hard loss though.)
MAN, that was a hard loss!! What a great game tho! {That poor kicker!! And his mama!}
I’ve been loving all your recent posts on instagram! As far as podcast go, a lot of shows have rewatch podcast where you can listen to your favorite shows. Maybe try that? Have a great week!

That’s a good idea! Thank you!!
I’m dying to know what Game Day smells like, so I might pop my head in your house today for a sniff. 😉 And I’m loving your ig content! It’s so good!
Thank you, Friend!! Come sniff anytime. hahaha! {Never thought I’d type that.}
This is a fun post! I loved the Bestie Breakdown Podcast….any chance of that ever happening again? My favorite podcast is Big Boo Cast…Sophie and Melanie talk about football and are so funny.
Hi Pamela! Thank you!! We’re never saying never but not any time soon. I love the Big Boo Cast as well!
Yes, yes, and YES to all of it! I hope you get some great podcast recs because I need a new one to!
Sounds like I’m going to start listening to Unicorn Girl…never even heard of it!
The podcast named Unicorn Girl is by the same creator, and seems just as crazy so far!
EEEK!!! THANK YOU!! I’ll start listening today!
Love these fun, random posts! Your salmon bowls are what’s on the menu for us tonight!
Thank you!! Oh, those are one of our favorites!
