It Was My Birthday and I'll Forget to Post if I Want To

Hey everyone! I hope you all have had a great couple of weeks! I had full intentions of posting last week, but life happens. I've been on BAD autopilot these last couple of weeks and I'm having a hard time snapping out of it despite my best efforts. I have definitely learned to never say the phrase, "it can't get any worse" ever again because y'all, it can. Even though I'm auto piloting through life, I have managed to keep myself busy and my mind kinda occupied by spending lots and lots of time with our dogs. I love taking Luna for walks when it's nice and cool out, ya know, the three days this fall it's been nice and cool. One day last week it was wonderful outside and the girls and I played and walked and played some more and had the best time. I tired to get some good pictures of us, but they had other ideas.

I have also been doing a lot of cooking and looking at home building things on Pinterest to boost my mood. Gotta do what ya gotta do. After that last statement I'm sure you can guess I have some recipes that I tried and loved to share with you all, and I actually have some fashion pictures to share! If it ever cools down, I will be able to style my work pants way cuter than I have been the last couple weeks, but I didn't have any days where I just felt like a straight up hobo either, so I guess that's a win. All of the recipes and pictures will be at the end of this post as usual!

I hope you all have a fantastic week! Pray for rain and 50 degrees! 😊

This is a breakfast casserole my mom used to make all the time so I made it this last week for quick breakfasts. There are lots of versions online that have more specific instructions! 

Breakfast casserole:

8 slices bread

Cup of milk

8 eggs

1lb sausage

Cheese

Brown sausage, mix milk and eggs, cube bread, pour milk and eggs over cubed bread, after sausage cools, combine all ingredients with however much cheese you like in a 9x13 pan, and let sit in the fridge over night. In the morning put it in a 350 oven for 40 ish minutes. 

Fall Fun and Puppy Playtime

Hey everyone! I hope you all had a great first week of fall! I have had a sinus infection that I think Satan himself gifted to me, but this weekend I enjoyed myself and my time at home. I don't have any fashion or original recipes for you this week, but be on the lookout for fall outfits once the temperatures start to drop! I do have some links for you of recipes I made this weekend. Yesterday and today both have apparently been the days to cook like a mad woman. I have 5 soups that are now in the freezer ready to be reheated for busy fall nights. 😍 (The links for recipes are at the end of this post!)

I did all of that cooking and kept my kitchen clean, so, bonus points to Katie for doing something all other adults do all the time.

The best part of the weekend was being able to actually spend some time with our dogs. For those of you who know me well, you know that our dogs are like our kids. This last week I neglected the girls pretty bad because it seemed like something was going on all the time. I just sat outside yesterday and today for hours playing with the girls while James and Wayne hung out inside playing video games. With the weather being cooler, and Luna growing up, Tonks is the one that is hyper and playful, and Luna is mellowing out into a hound. Tonks was so happy Saturday morning to go outside in the cool air that she was doing flips and cartwheels and being extra cute. I can't wait to see what she thinks of snow!

I hope you all have a great week! I know this blog post is feeble at best, but if nothing else you get to see my cute dogs and try some new recipes if you haven't tried them before! 😊

And yes, my yoga pants are covered in dog hair. Yes, I do have on Harry Potter socks, and yes, I do wear my husbands slides outside when I don't feel like putting on real shoes.
